A laser cutter works by focusing a beam of coherent light onto the material. The concentrated energy heats the metal above its melting point. This cuts through the metal, but the molten material doesn’t simply vanish into thin air. Instead, it partially attaches itself to the surrounding hot material, creating a very rough surface around the cut.
Not only would this look bad, but it would also be a safety hazard as the shards of metal would be very sharp. To avoid this, a gas is blown onto the steel at high pressure alongside the laser beam nozzle to remove the molten or vaporized material away from the cut. The most commonly used gases for this purpose are nitrogen and oxygen.
