We routinely use lasers to cut our FPC profiles. Thickness ranges from .002
thru .062.

Subject: [TN] Laser Cutting PCBs

Does anyone out there have experience (good or bad) of depanelising FR1 PCBs
using lasers?

It seems like a really neat solution, no dust etc but I have not seen any
companies using this technology.
