You aren&rsquo;t just warming up a surface; you&rsquo;re creating a tight, localized zone of expansion and then hitting it with a rapid quench. It&rsquo;s a finicky process. If your power density is off by even a few watts per centimeter, that crack isn&rsquo;t going to travel in a straight line. You&rsquo;ll end up with jagged edges, or worse, the whole piece just shatters.</p>
