Which risk increases when a laser cutting system loses collimation?

💡 Explanation

Material dross adhesion rises because power density decreases due to increased beam divergence. Therefore, less material is cleanly vaporized causing it stick, rather than laser becoming more efficient under conditions with diffraction limitations.
