CNC laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials and is typically used for industrial production applications, but is also beginning to be used by schools, small businesses and hobbyists. The laser beam can be moved over the material, allowing different parts to be removed from the rest of the object. This allows very fine details and high precision to be achieved.

Computer numerical control (CNC) is a type of machining that uses data and programs to perform cutting, drilling and milling operations. CNC technology has been very important in the manufacturing industry since its introduction. In the past, machinists had to manually program machines to complete a task. This is time-consuming and prone to human error.
