Objective A newly developed laser cutting technique, named Dual-Spot Laser Cutting, enables existing and new laser cutting installations to cut e.g. stainless steel and wood materials at a quality level which are beyond the capabilities. The new technique can be utilised to cut (25-50%) thicker materials without increasing the laser power level. The dual-spot technique is based on the use of two stationary focal points, created by a single optical element.
