Laser beam machining (LBM) is a non-traditional machining process that uses thermal energy to remove material from metallic or nonmetallic surfaces. LBM is a precise, non-contact manufacturing process that offers high accuracy and minimal heat-affected zones. It's widely used in industries such as aerospace and electronics. LBM can machine materials that are difficult or impossible to machine conventionally. It's an excellent tool to make precise holes and cuts in any material. However, it has a high initial cost.
