In the field of laser cutting non-metallic materials, wood has become a combination of challenge and art due to its unique texture and fiber properties. For example, oak can be quickly broken through precise control of laser cutting technology and the influence of gravity. According to a study on laser cutting of oak, optimizing the cutting path control can significantly reduce the heat affected zone and maintain the natural beauty of the wood. On the other hand, maple wood is prone to residual fibers after laser cutting. In a case study on maple laser cutting, maple fiber residue seriously affects tree branch falling, and it is necessary to ensure that all fibers are cut or optimize the cutting path so that they can quickly fall under the influence of gravity. These cases demonstrate that laser cutting technology can not only meet the high-precision requirements of wood processing, but also, through its unique technological advantages, minimize the impact on the natural growth and aesthetics of trees.
