2. Three-dimensional laser cutting drives industrial upgrading
At present, my country's laser cutting technology is very mature and widely used in various industries. Cutting is divided into plane cutting and three-dimensional cutting. Among industrial manufacturing enterprises, three-dimensional laser cutting is the trend of laser intelligent development and processing. It combines my country's latest fiber laser information technology and various six-axis or seven-axis robot control technologies. Realizes economical, high-speed and high-precision cutting or welding in three-dimensional network space. In many industrially developed countries in Europe and the United States, most parts are processed using three-dimensional laser processing technology. In the past, 3D laser processing technology equipment has been monopolized by foreign manufacturers. Although the company's products and services are of excellent quality, the high sales market price and post-maintenance social costs have always discouraged domestic manufacturers.

Faced with the huge market demand for 3D laser equipment, my country's laser companies have gradually broken through this bottleneck through continuous practice-innovation-repractice. Many laser companies have successively manufactured a variety of 3D laser processing equipment. 3D laser processing technology has taken the lead in the industry. Gradually rise. The automotive industry, in particular, is doing very well. Enterprises can choose their own plates of different specifications based on the design and requirements of each component in automobile production and manufacturing, and use laser cutting technology to complete the manufacturing of each component, which has effectively promoted the high-efficiency production of the automobile industry.

At present, efficient, high-precision, multi-functional and highly adaptable three-dimensional robotic fiber laser cutting machines have been sold in large quantities at home and abroad. Three-dimensional laser intelligent technology processing and production equipment can perform multi-angle and multi-directional flexible intelligent information processing on metal plates of different thicknesses, satisfying the needs of aerospace, automobiles and ships, mechanical design and manufacturing, elevator manufacturing, advertising content production, and household appliances. We provide metal cutting and welding work needs for various Chinese manufacturing industries such as manufacturing, medical equipment, hardware, decoration, and metal external processing. Among them, the automobile manufacturing industry is one of the most widely used fields for 3D laser cutting technology. It can greatly improve production and processing efficiency.

Three-dimensional space laser cutting subverts the punching and shearing process of tensile parts. From aerospace to automobiles, from civil machinery, from steel structures to automatic welding, from hardware to daily necessities. The forming of various kinds of drawn parts requires us to use the teaching 3D laser cutting machine process. This is a good proof that it has attracted widespread attention from industry companies and can develop rapidly economically. Due to its high precision, fast speed and high flexibility, it effectively solves the "pain point" problem of three-dimensional modeling. Three-dimensional laser cutting technology will lead China's manufacturing industry to transform from a graphic design-based bending, cutting and welding production process to a three-dimensional modeling enterprise-based one. One-time molding reduces process, reduces cost, improves performance, is beautiful and practical.

As far as automobile manufacturing companies are concerned, the application of three-dimensional laser cutting technology has promoted the upgrading of China's industrial structure. As far as the entire manufacturing industry is concerned, three-dimensional laser cutting technology promotes the globalization and intelligence of China's manufacturing industry. As my country's economic global development becomes the center of manufacturing enterprises, my country's demand for laser cutting machines is also growing. The laser three-dimensional cutting industry has grown from scratch, from point to surface, from beginning to take shape to now being widely used. Three-dimensional laser cutting machines not only have unlimited potential in the automobile manufacturing market, but also show amazing explosive power in applications in other fields.

Because of the high degree of flexibility of 3D laser cutting, mold companies that require a set of PG processing under normal working conditions can only process one workpiece for one type of workpiece, while 3D laser cutting can target any process for any workpiece. When changing workpiece products, such as changing curved surfaces, trimming, opening holes, etc., you only need to change the offline process of laser cutting. Because the tools and fixtures used are relatively simple, it is convenient to change the fixture. Therefore, three-dimensional laser cutting technology has greater flexibility, which can reduce the investment of PG processing mold companies and shorten the sample trial production cycle.

As 3D laser cutting machines become more mature, processing accuracy and processing efficiency will continue to improve, and 3D laser cutting systems will be more and more widely used.
