Laser cutters are CNC (Computer Numerical Control) devices that perform subtractive manufacturing through laser cutting, a method where a focused laser beam with high energy intensity melts, vaporizes, or burns the workpiece material [1,2]. This technique is favored in digital fabrication for its operational simplicity and rapid prototyping capabilities, resulting in a significant growth in its market and an increased interest for open-source variants. The most prevalent laser sources include fiber lasers, diode lasers (Nd:YVO and Nd:YAG), and gas lasers (CO2), with the selection depending on the intended application.
