Fiber Laser Cutting Speed Chart
Remarks:
- Blue color indicates that simple shapes or low requirements can be cut on a small scale, but it may be a bit difficult.
- Red color indicates that the sample cutting is okay, but it cannot be used for batch cutting.
- For IPG3000W or higher power, we sincerely recommend using nitrogen when cutting thin carbon steel to enhance cutting efficiency.
