  Laser cutting is great for modding, it precisely and accurately cut any kind of patterns. Laser can cut almost all metals, all kinds of plastics, acryl, polycarbonate, wood, plywood and even glass (it’s not transparent for all rays). There are some difficulties in mirror cutting and you can’t cut all kinds of stone, marble and so on.
