Shearing, bending, and stamping are traditional sheet metal processing techniques. The disadvantage is that in practical applications, molds are needed for mass production, which is time-consuming and costly, and it is difficult to guarantee accuracy and quality. In order to improve this situation, most modern sheet metal processing chooses laser cutting to make up for the shortcomings of traditional sheet metal production. Laser cutting has the following three advantages.

1. It is beneficial to optimize the process and reduce the work difficulty and intensity.
Through the application of laser cutting machine, the sheet metal workpiece can be directly welded and sleeved, which realizes the processing mode from "casting" to "welding" and optimizes the processing process, thus reducing the processing time of products, reducing the processing difficulty and reducing the work intensity. At the same time, the application of this technology can effectively reduce the use of molds, thus promoting the smooth development of product development and design, and effectively reducing its application time, thus providing a convenient prerequisite for the development of new products. Therefore, this technology can be used to shorten the product manufacturing cycle and strictly control the size of blanking die for the smooth production of large quantities of workpieces in the future.

2. It is beneficial to improve the efficiency of machining work and the quality of machined workpieces.
Laser cutting technology is a very advanced technology. Through the analysis of its processing principle, we can see that it can reduce the processing time with its high-precision, fast and accurate cutting technology, and it is often formed at one time in sheet metal processing operations, which improves the utilization rate of materials and other resources and improves work efficiency. In addition, laser cutting technology has the characteristics of small slit, fine density, smooth incision and so on, and can complete the cutting operation in a fast time. Therefore, it can not only improve the machining efficiency, but also enhance the quality of the machined workpiece, thus providing a solid quality guarantee for its further use. Therefore, we should give full play to the advantages of laser cutting technology in sheet metal processing, and then carry out high-precision and high-quality processing smoothly.

3.  It is beneficial to reduce the processing cost.
In the practical application of laser cutting technology, it will make efficient use of the advantages of numerical control programming software to strictly and effectively control the application of related processing materials, and improve the utilization rate of sheet metal materials, so as to achieve the optimal configuration of processing materials, reduce waste, and reduce the number of clamping, thus helping enterprises reduce the cost of sheet metal processing. Therefore, in sheet metal processing, the effective application of NC programming related software should be continuously strengthened for the processing of thin-plate materials, and its function of optimizing layout should be fully exerted, so as to omit the cutting link and reduce the clamping, so as to successfully complete the sheet metal processing. For example, the "flying light path" in the laser cutting machine used by Swiss Bystronic not only reduces the clamping of materials, but also avoids the occurrence of processing dead zones, and its processing speed is extremely efficient.
