Rubber Composite

Today’s composite materials bring a special set of challenges for machining parts to shape – fortunately laser can get past the difficulties that typical machine tools can have with cured epoxy/fiber and uncured epoxy or rubber composites. Carbon fiber or ceramic composites work well with laser. Wikipedia has this   to say about composites and their properties.  For an in-depth article about composite materials – follow this link.
