Technology of laser machining

This bachelor thesis is focused on present possibilities of laser cutting. The first part describes basic principles of the laser beam, possibilities of ma-chining of various materials and its use in production. Various types of lasers are introduced, including those developed in the last decade. The performance and quality edge that the laser beam can give you is presented in the next part. The practical part compares laser machining with conventional technology of machining. Final results are evaluated in the last chapter
