Fiberglass is a type of reinforced plastic material that consists of fine glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix. It is commonly used in various applications, such as boats, automobiles, and aerospace structures, as well as in the construction industry for insulation and roofing. While fiberglass is a versatile material with many benefits, it can also pose some risks, particularly when it comes to cutting it.
There are several tools you can use to cut fiberglass, such as a saw, a grinder, or a utility knife. However, using these tools can be challenging since fiberglass is a brittle material that can easily splinter, causing injury or damaging the material.
A ventilation system can help to capture the fumes and prevent them from spreading in the workspace.

In conclusion, fiberglass is a useful and versatile material that can be cut using various tools, but laser cutting is a highly effective method that produces clean and precise cuts. However, when laser cutting fiberglass, it’s essential to take proper safety measures to avoid potential dangers. By wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and having proper ventilation, you can ensure a safe and efficient cutting process.
