Fiber Laser Cutting Speed Chart
Comments:
- The blue color indicates that simple or low-requirement shapes can be cut on a small scale, but it may be a little difficult.
- The red color indicates that the sample cutting is correct, but it cannot be used for batch cutting.
- For power IPG3000W or above, we sincerely recommend using nitrogen when cutting thin carbon steel to increase cutting efficiency.
