Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is a beam that stimulates the release of particles of light. Laser cutting, welding and marking are some manufacturing specific mechanisms that could be manual as well as automated.
Laser marking is a permanent process of using a concentrated beam of light to make a long-lasting mark on any surface like steel, iron aluminium, polymers, rubbers etc. It is majorly used for permanent engraving on metal machinery, mark code and scanners and automotive tracing for various engine components. Laser cutting is computer numerical control and optically driven laser beams which when focused on any surface melts, burns, vaporises or blows away the jet of gas resulting in a finished, high-quality edges. This cutting process is mainly used for metal and wood works.
Laser welding on the contrary is a process of joining together metal or wooden pieces using a laser beam to make a weld. It operates in fundamentally two different modes: conduction limited and keyhole welding depending on the power density falling on the workpiece.
