A laser machine can cut and engrave on:
- wood, plywood, MDF and other materials made of wood
- polymers and plastics, such as PET, acrylic, polypropylene foam
- the rubber
- paronitis
- cardboard and paper
- fabric, fur, leather and imitation leather
To engrave only on:
- stone
- ceramics
- glass and mirror
By combining these materials, you can make original objects with an attractive appearance. Of course, you have to design the files (models) yourself, buy them or order them from a specialist. The original objects sell easily and make the machine profitable quickly.
These products are often in high demand by restaurateurs, advertising agencies, companies dealing with interior and exterior decoration. The laser machine is used in many fields whether it is to manufacture children's objects, toys, billboards, signs, road signs and fabric articles, to engrave leather articles, to manufacture personalized jewelry boxes and more.
Nowadays, the demand for objects made with CNC laser machines is constantly growing.
Laser machines have very different formats, while some have a working surface of 3 x 2 meters, others are very small with a restricted working surface of 30 x 20 cm which allows them to be placed on a table. This wide range of machines makes it possible to adapt to the demand of your customers, whether it is mass production or artisanal production.
What are the advantages of CNC laser engravers?
Laser cutting and engraving are two popular techniques that have many advantages:
- Speed of execution. The engraving operation can go as fast as 400 mm/s while the cutting can be done up to 150 mm/s, of course this depends on the material being worked on and its thickness.
- List of materials that can be laser machined: wood, plywood, MDF, cardboard, acrylic, PET, foam, other plastics and polymers, rubber, paronite, stone and ceramics, mirror and glass, paper, various fabrics, fur and leather.
- reduced consumption, apart from the laser source (the laser tube). Under correct use, the life of the laser tube easily reaches 3 years. It depends on the power used when machining the parts as well as the brand of the laser tube.
- High quality of the final product. Laser cutting produces a perfectly even and smooth edge, when engraving you can fine tune the settings to achieve the desired image contrast.
- The narrowness of the laser beam allows you to machine many objects from a single plate, which avoids waste.
- The use of lasers for cutting and engraving is quiet and generates little debris, unlike other methods.
