Whatever happened to cutting with a tuned laser?
I heard about it a decade ago. A laser tuned to the resonant frequency of skin. The protein or whatever.
Low power, with no burning, no heat damage. Melted right through, cleanly. Unravelled those little molecules. A wonderful cutting device.
And maybe you could match a laser to any material. Wood? Glass? A very clean cut. Maybe even safer.
- jfim 4y agoAs far as I know, most laser cutters available to hobbyists for cutting wood are either diode or CO2 based, and both have a risk of setting the wood on fire, as well as generate a fair amount of smoke and combustion gases. For cutting holes into wood as a hobbyist, a CNC machine with the appropriate tool will give far superior output for the purpose of making holes in wood.
