What we burn is only the epoxy that’s holding the CF togther. Many years ago we played with RC helicopters which crash sometimes, the broken blades are usually hard to dispose. We threw it in a burning flames of wood and other stuff. Next day when the everything was just gray ash, the CF cloth remains as it is 😂. I just clicked this video out of curiosity to find out if laser works obviously it just burn the epoxy only. I m also looking into buying laser for my projects if CF is possible it would ease a lot of work, also CNC CF does produce the fine powdery residue need filtrations n respiratory equipment when working with. Thanks for making this video❤.
Nice vid! I appreciate you bringing us along for the trial and error. The carbon fibre plate looks to be a semi reflective surface battling along with two materials for the laser to penetrate. It’ll be interesting to see how you work around it.
Would have been nice to see 100% power at 1.0mm/sec... though honestly, you have to have a very expensive & powerful fiber laser to cut carbon fiber plate... it's about 10x cheaper to buy a desktop waterjet for cutting carbon fiber. The laser has to be able to reach about 4500C cutting temperature in order to vaporize the carbon fiber.

A single pass won't cut it... Maybe multi-pass, lower power so resin won't melt as horribly, but way more passes
Better luck next time maybe try masking tape
