In so called “COLD” MARKING, ULTRAVIOLET LASERS remove material through photoablation, or they can change a material’s color by a photochemical process. Material removal is accomplished by breaking interatomic bonds rather than burning off material. The photoablation process leaves CLEAN EDGES and has little or no effect on material properties or the appearance of surrounding material

Explanation:
From my personal textile & fashion glossary:

leichte Wollstoffe léger lainage lightweight wollfabrics
offene Kante bord libre loose edge
zuschneiden couper to cut out
abschneiden recouper to cut off

Accuracy in cutting your sewing pattern and in transferring the construction symbols, or marks, onto the fabric is crucial. These are the final steps taken before you begin to sew your garment.
:
2. Use dressmaker shears to cut fabric along designated cutting line.

An einer Floatlinie in Italien hat Grenzebach einen Online – Test durchgeführt. Diesmal wurde extradickes Glas unterschiedlicher Dicken an der Linie geschnitten, wie immer in exzellenter Kantenqualität.
An online trial was executed by Grenzebach at an Italian float line. Target was to cut extra thick glass, all this thicknesses were reached with a superb edge quality.

Laser cutting is, above all, precise, clean and silent.
:
Titanium
This can be cut easily and quickly with excellent finishing quality with a beam generated by a CO2 source. http://www.elengroup.com/laser-cutting/

The material then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gas,[1] leaving an edge with a high quality surface finish.
:
The cutting speed, feed rate, beam geometry, beam intensity, beam focusing, beam/workpiece material, type of workpiece material, and positioning accuracy all effect the tolerances and surface finish of a process.

With these and other wood applications, high speeds and clean edges are critical.

After having researched deeper, I like to support "clean edges". It should be noted that most laser suppliers highlights the edge quality and avoid other term like clean edges (3.510 compared to 580 Google hits)

So at the end, I deleted my first approach (when I was in hurry and had to leave the hotel).

neutral  Tony M: I don't agree with your addition of "(with high quality surafce finish)" — that would amount to gross over-translation. Mightn't it have been politer simply to add your 'agree' to Bourth's answer, and post your references as... reference information?

  -> I tought there must be a still more appropriate and specialized term instead of "clean edges". So I opened the Answer box and started the search. But, unfortunately I did not grasp the term, which I mean having been used in prior translations.
