As the core equipment of smart home, the precision structure and aesthetic design of smart speakers put forward higher requirements for manufacturing process. With the advantages of high precision and non-contact processing, laser cutting technology is deeply integrated into the production links of acoustic components, appearance parts and internal structures, promoting the iteration of products in a thinner and smarter direction.

 

The metal mesh is the core acoustic component of smart speakers, and its hole size and distribution directly affect the sound quality performance. The laser cutting machine precisely controls the laser beam spot to process micro-hole arrays with consistent aperture and smooth edges on aluminum alloy or stainless steel plates, avoiding deformation or burrs caused by traditional stamping, and ensuring uniform sound transmission. For example, a high-end brand uses ultrafast laser technology to achieve 0.1mm aperture cutting on a 0.3mm thick mesh, significantly improving the penetration efficiency of high-frequency sound waves.

 

The shell of smart speakers often needs to cut artistic structures such as curved hollowing and gradient texture. Laser equipment can achieve complex graphic cutting on metal, acrylic or composite materials through three-dimensional dynamic focusing and intelligent path planning, and supports customized designs such as brand logos and breathing light holes to meet the dual needs of consumer electronics for aesthetics and functionality.

 

Laser cutting does not require molds and can quickly adapt to the structural updates of different models of speakers, significantly shortening the new product development cycle. At the same time, non-contact processing reduces material loss and dust pollution. For example, in the cutting of speaker brackets, the material utilization rate is increased by more than 20% compared with traditional processes, which is in line with the trend of green smart manufacturing in the electronics industry.

 

For micro components such as MEMS microphones and heat dissipation modules inside smart speakers, laser technology can complete precision grooving and micro-hole processing in a limited space to optimize heat dissipation efficiency and signal transmission. Femtosecond lasers also support high-quality cutting of heterogeneous materials such as ceramic substrates and flexible circuits, helping to achieve highly integrated product functions.
