Compared to traditional prototype cutting methods done manually, laser cutting technology provides significant advantages in terms of speed and accuracy. Here's a more detailed comparison:

Speed:

Manual cutting, such as using hand tools like saws, files, or knives, is generally a slow and labor-intensive process, especially for intricate or complex shapes.
Laser cutting, on the other hand, is a highly automated process that can execute cuts at much higher speeds, often with cutting speeds ranging from 1 to 10 meters per minute or more, depending on the material and machine setup.
This increased cutting speed allows prototype fabricators to produce parts more rapidly, reducing the overall turnaround time for prototype development.

Accuracy:

Manual cutting techniques, even when performed by skilled technicians, inherently have limitations in terms of dimensional accuracy and consistency, as they rely on the operator's dexterity and attention to detail.
Laser cutting, in contrast, utilizes computer-controlled motion systems and precise laser beam positioning, which enables it to achieve much tighter tolerances, often within ±0.1 mm or even better, depending on the laser system and material.
The high accuracy of laser cutting ensures that prototype parts meet the required specifications, reducing the need for extensive post-processing or rework.

Additionally, laser cutting offers other advantages over traditional methods, such as the ability to process a wider range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, as well as the potential for producing complex, intricate geometric shapes that would be challenging or impossible to create manually.

Therefore, the laser cutting technology does provide significantly higher speed and accuracy compared to traditional prototype cutting methods performed by hand.
