Zapped with a beam is a term used to describe the process of using a LASER to cut or engrave an object. Lased is a five-letter word that is used to describe the same process. It is derived from the word 'LASER, ' which is an acronym for 'light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.' This process is used in many industries, such as manufacturing, medical, and engineering, to create precise cuts and engravings.
