”In 2025, if you primarily work with metals, fiber lasers are generally the better choice; if you're focused on non-metal materials, CO₂ lasers still have the upper hand.“ This isn’t just about which technology is newer — it’s about matching the right tool to the right task. Fiber lasers have become the standard in industrial manufacturing due to their high energy efficiency, low maintenance, and exceptional performance on metals. They're especially effective for cutting refl
