What Is Industrial Laser Cutting and What Are the Benefits?

When you need metal cut into unique shapes, you can use a few different processes. While plasma cutting can get the job done, laser cutting is one of the most versatile options available! Read on to learn what industrial laser cutting is, as well as the benefits of laser cutting.

Laser Cutting: Defined

As you probably know, a laser is a high-powered beam of light that focuses on a single point. That beam operates at a remarkably high temperature and can cut through a variety of materials, including aluminum and stainless steel.

Accuracy

Many people who need custom shapes cut out of metal want the shapes to be very specific and uniform across several cuts. Laser cutting can provide both these features easily. With incredibly fine movements and the ability to etch and engrave, laser cutting is a versatile cutting option.

Speed

No one wants to wait around forever for their cutting to finish. After you give your order to a cutting company, you want work to begin quickly and end quickly too! In addition to being highly accurate, laser cutting is a very fast process. Whether you use it for acrylic, aluminum, or even steel, laser cutting gets the job done in a matter of hours.

Affordability

One of the many advantages of plasma cutting that people proclaim is its low cost. While it’s true that a lower cost is a difference that plasma cutting has compared to laser cutting, you can’t beat a laser for the value it provides. Plasma cutting is a rougher affair. For the quality you get with laser cutting, the price is fantastic in value.

Now that you know what industrial laser cutting is and what the benefits are, you can remember that laser cutting is best with metal leveling. If you use laser cutting without having the metal leveled first, the laser cutting will cause stresses in the metal and could result in significant deformation.

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Secretary-General/South Africa Senior Personnel appointment Syria humanitarian Occupied Palestinian Territory Yemen Sudan Democratic Republic of the Congo Ukraine Central Emergency Response Fund Birth Registration Human trafficking/report Soils International Mountain Day Secretary-General/South Africa The Secretary-General arrived in South Africa today and began his meetings right away. He started with meetings and discussions with government officials. The visit as you know comes at a critical time as South Africa assumes the presidency of the G20 for the upcoming year. In a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa, they exchanged views on issues of common interest, including the Sustainable Development Goals, the reform of the international financial architecture, Financing for Development, Climate Action and, of course, the G20 agenda for 2025. Prior to that, the Secretary-General delivered some remarks at a meeting of the G20 Sherpas that is going on in Johannesburg. His message was that our financial institutions need an update, and developing countries must be represented fairly in their governance. The Secretary-General also held discussions with the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa, Ronald Lamola. And in a joint press encounter afterward, the Secretary-General said that he is currently on a mission of solidarity and a mission for justice. Africa has enormous potential, he said, but the continent continues to be held back by injustices that are deeply rooted in the history of colonialism. The situation in the Middle East is always on the Secretary-General’s mind and in response to questions he said that in Syria, we see some signs of hope coming from the end of the dictatorship. He added that the UN is totally committed to supporting a smooth transition of power, and with an inclusive political process in which the rights of all minorities will be fully respected. He also spoke about the immense tragedy of the Palestinian people whose right for self-determination and to have their own State must be constantly reaffirmed. On Sudan, he underscored that we need all parties silencing the guns and committing to a path towards sustainable peace and accountability for the Sudanese people. All those remarks were shared with you. Senior personnel appointment The Secretary-General is appointing Major General Anita Asmah of Ghana as the Head of Mission and Force Commander of the UN Disengagement Observer Force, otherwise known as UNDOF. Major General Asmah succeeds Lieutenant General Nirmal Kumar Thapa of Nepal, who will complete his assignment in mid-December, so very shortly. The Secretary-General is grateful for General Thapa’s leadership and dedication to UN peacekeeping efforts. For her part, Major General Asmah brings to the position 31 years of leadership and command experience in the Ghana Armed Forces as well as UN peacekeeping. Most recently, she served as Director General in the Department of Defence Civilian Establishment of the Ghanaian Armed Forces. Prior to that, she was the Deputy Force Commander of UNDOF from 2021-2023. Syria humanitarian The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) today said that the security situation in Syria remains volatile, as airstrikes and localized hostilities have continued to affect many parts of the country. We are concerned about the risks of explosive ordnance as people continue to be on the move. UN partners have identified more than 50 minefields over the past 10 days, which is curtailing the movement of civilians and impeding the delivery of goods and services. The UN and its partners continue to support the response across the country and are resuming humanitarian activities as security conditions allow. UN local and national partners in Homs are gradually resuming humanitarian activities. The water stations in Al-Husayn city have now been reactivated, which benefits the residents of both Homs and Hama. Meanwhile, in the north-east Syria, humanitarian activities have been constrained by insecurity. Despite the challenges, our partners have managed to distribute dozens of tents, thousands of mattresses, blankets, sleeping bags and solar lamps to centres hosting displaced people in Tabqa and Raqqa. The Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher, said in a social media post yesterday that much is in flux in the country, but vital aid must continue to flow, and critical health and other services must be sustained. He also reiterated that humanitarians would continue to engage whenever and wherever needed to support the Syrian people.

Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the High-level Pledging Event on the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for 2025. "Excellencies, Friends, Welcome to the High-Level Pledging Event for the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund. CERF is a United Nations success story. It is a first responder in crisis – rooted in rapid analysis, rapid decision and rapid implementation. And is centred around putting people first – and kick-starting relief as soon as possible. Year after year, CERF has proven its unique, effective and vital role. 2025 will mark twenty years since CERF began its lifesaving work. Supporting millions of people and communities around the world. Deploying over 9 billion dollars for the delivery of humanitarian assistance. Alleviating the suffering of those most in need in over one hundred countries — from Sudan to Lebanon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Yemen and many more. Helping countries confront climate disasters through the new CERF Climate Action Account. And investing in anticipatory action in Bangladesh, Nepal, Chad and elsewhere before disaster strikes. At its heart, CERF is truly “for all, by all”. In the two decades since its inception, more than sixty recipient countries have themselves become donors. But we need more support to build on CERF’s record of results. As humanitarian needs soar, contributions are failing to keep pace. The need for a fully funded CERF – at 1 billion dollars – has never been greater. I sincerely thank all those that have contributed for their generosity. Your donations save lives. But in this hour of greatest need, I also ask countries to dig deeper. And new donors to step forward. Help CERF help others. Together, let’s enable CERF to deliver effectively for the safety and dignity of all people impacted by emergencies."

Play Video: Human Rights Day - UN Chief's Message | United Nations


Video message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on Human Rights Day (10 December 2024). ----------------------------------------- On Human Rights Day, we face a harsh truth. Human rights are under assault. Tens of millions of people are mired in poverty, hunger, poor health and education systems that have not yet fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. Global inequalities are running rampant. Conflicts are intensifying.     International law is wilfully ignored. Authoritarianism is on the march while civic space is shrinking.   Hateful rhetoric is fuelling discrimination, division, and outright violence.   And women’s rights continue to be rolled back in law and practice. This year’s theme reminds us that human rights are about building the future — right now. All human rights are indivisible. Whether economic, social, civic, cultural or political, when one right is undermined, all rights are undermined. We must stand up for all rights — always. Healing divisions and building peace. Tackling the scourges of poverty and hunger.   Ensuring health care and education for all. Advancing justice and equality for women, girls and minorities. Standing up for democracy, press freedoms and workers’ rights. Promoting the right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment. And defending human rights defenders as they carry out their vital work. The recently adopted Pact for the Future reinforced the world’s commitment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. On this important day, let’s protect, defend and uphold all human rights for all people.

Israeli forces entered the demilitarised zone after the collapse of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime on Sunday. The zone was created by the UN after the 1973 Yom Kippur War and has been patrolled by UN peacekeepers since. Israel has also been pounding key military targets inside Syria since a lightning offensive by a rebel coalition swept aside the government forces in less than two weeks.

Play Video: Canadian landlords accused of rent rigging using AI software


A proposed class-action lawsuit alleges more than a dozen landlords and property managers have conspired to artificially inflate rents across Canada. The suit claims landlords and property managers did it by using software called YieldStar. The Canadian suit alleges the software essentially allows landlords and property managers to share proprietary data on their rental pricing — information that wouldn't normally be shared with competitors — and that this could potentially allow companies to fix prices. The move comes after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a similar lawsuit in August against RealPage Inc., the Texas-based company that created YieldStar. RealPage says it has filed a motion to dismiss the DOJ's lawsuit alleging antitrust violations. RealPage is also named in the proposed Canadian suit. It has told CBC its software is designed to be "legally compliant" and that it will "vigorously defend itself" in court. The suit is seeking financial compensation for any current and past tenants who have lived in any of the properties owned or operated by the 14 companies named. This issued claim is the first step before a class action is certified in court, which the main litigator on the case says could take months. #Housing #Rentals #YieldStar #ArtificialIntelligence #News #CBCNews Read more: http://www.cbc.ca/news »»» Subscribe to CBC News to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/1RreYWS Connect with CBC News Online: For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: http://bit.ly/1Z0m6iX Follow CBC News on TikTok: https://bit.ly/3TnHioe Follow CBC News on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1sA5P9H Find CBC News on Facebook: http://bit.ly/1WjG36m Follow CBC News on Instagram: http://bit.ly/1Z0iE7O Subscribe to CBC News on Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3leaWsr Download the CBC News app for iOS: http://apple.co/25mpsUz Download the CBC News app for Android: http://bit.ly/1XxuozZ »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» For more than 80 years, CBC News has been the source Canadians turn to, to keep them informed about their communities, their country and their world.
