2. Reduced Material Waste The precision of laser cutting minimizes kerf—the width of the cut—resulting in less wasted material. This not only optimizes material usage but also reduces costs, making the process more economically viable. Additionally, the ability to nest parts efficiently on the material sheet means more components can be produced per sheet, further reducing waste.
4. Material Quality The quality of materials used in the construction of the machine itself also affects its price. High-quality steel and other durable materials may raise the cost but will also extend the machine's lifetime and reduce maintenance expenses over time.
