CO2 engraving & cutting machines · 1 machine

Wood, acrylic, leather. Cut and engraved.

Q: Can a CO2 laser cut metal?

Not practically at these power levels. It can mark coated or anodized metal; for cutting metal, use a fiber laser.

Q: What thickness of acrylic can a 100 W CO2 laser cut?

Typically up to about 10–15 mm in one pass, depending on speed and edge quality required. We can test your material.

CO2 lasers at 10.6 µm are absorbed by organic materials and most plastics. One machine engraves photos on wood and cuts acrylic letters with a polished edge.

What a CO2 engraver does

CO2 machines are the standard tool for signage, gifts, packaging prototypes, model making and garment cutting. They cut acrylic with a flame-polished edge and engrave wood, leather and coated metals.

Choose bed size by your sheet size and tube power by the thickest material you cut. Glass tubes are consumables; plan a spare in your budget.

Laser marking · 8 minFiber vs UV vs CO2 laser marking: which laser for which material?Choose a laser marker by material, because absorption depends on wavelength. Fiber (1064 nm) is the default for metals, MOPA fiber adds colour on stainless steel and black on anodized aluminium, UV (355 nm) gives fine low-heat marks on plastics, glass and PCBs, and CO2 (10.6 µm) marks wood, leather, textiles, paper and glass but not bare metal.Buying · 9 minBuying a laser machine from China: an import checklistBefore you pay a Chinese laser factory, put the job, the laser source model, your electrical supply, the compliance documents, the Incoterm, the warranty and the payment terms in writing. Then have the factory prove the machine on your own parts, because a test on your material is the best evidence you can get before shipment.
