Zusammenfassung:A laser beam having a line-shaped beam profile with a following cooling spot in order to increase thermomechanic tension which is moved along a separating line having predefined contours is known in prior art. In order to cut out a given contour using simple mean, (free-shape cut) the method according to the invention relates to a line-shaped bum spot ( 1 ) generated on a work piece. Said spot is of significantly increased intensity at both ends ( 1 a, 1 b ). Said spot is moved along the cut line ( 2 ) in such a way that both said ends lie on the cut line ( 2 ) and the length (S) thereof depends on the curvature of the contour of the cut line ( 2 ).
