The laser is an technology to cut a lot of materials it's used for industrial manufacturing applications. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics.
It exist many methods in cutting using lasers, with different types used to cut different material. Some of the methods are vaporization, melt and blow, melt blow and burn, thermal stress cracking, scribing, cold cutting and burning stabilized laser cutting.
As I did with my project in the engineering class, using a piece of wood I cut a shape like a football team with the helmet and the logo.
