Laser cutting with a 3D printer refers to the process of using a 3D printer equipped with a laser module to cut or engrave materials such as wood, plastic, and paper. The laser beam, emitted from the laser module, is precisely focused onto the material to create the desired shape or pattern. The process allows for intricate designs and precise cuts that may be difficult to achieve with traditional cutting tools. The use of a laser module in conjunction with a 3D printer allows for a multi-functional machine that can both print and cut/engrave, increasing its versatility for makers and small businesses.
