Which mechanism reduces laser cutting precision on aluminium?

💡 Explanation

Surface plume generation causes reduced laser cutting precision because vaporized material absorbs and scatters the laser energy, therefore preventing focused beam penetration, rather than reflectivity or heat conduction alone affecting depth.
