Laser cutting, laser engraving and laser marking of composite materials, fibre-reinforced composites

Unlimited number of materials – cut accurately with laser

• If basic materials that are suitable for laser are used, composite material combinations can often be cut and engraved without any problem.
• Materials suitable for laser processing that contain artificial fibres are generally welded so that fraying is prevented.
• In most cases the laser process with its thermal effect ensures clean welding of the materials on the cutting edge.
• Contact-free processing! So the material is not stressed or damaged – no clamping necessary.
• Small cutting width! A high level of repeatability and accuracy are the outstanding features of the laser process, especially in the case of technical applications.
• Extremely fine contours and practical radius-free inner edges can be created.

* Due to the very wide range of different material combinations it is only possible to mention the basic advantages of laser processing here. It is necessary to check out each application in advance in order to test the individual possibilities for laser processing. Please contact us.

Composite materials are materials that are made of two or more materials that are joined together. Whereby composite materials have different  material properties than those of the individual component materials. The material properties and the geometry of the component materials are important for the properties of composites. Size effects, in particular, often play an important role. Joining is effected by means of material closure or form closure or a combination of both.  In the case of packaging the term composite is also used for materials manufactured for this specific purpose.
