  • Solid wood cutting Cutting of woods thicker than 5mm is usually not possible.
  • Plywood Cutting and engraving up to 10mm
  • MDF Cutting and engraving up to 6mm

Metals

Almost all metals can be marked directly with the fiber-laser. It’s not possible to engrave deep into metal. Very detailed and lasting marks can be made on the surface.

  • Aluminium anodized High quality engraving with a white appearance is possible.
  • Aluminium Engraving/Marking is possible.
  • Stainless steel & steel A black marking is possible on most steel-based materials.

Other materials

Many additional materials can be laser processed: The exact material type has to be known as we do not cut or engrave unknown materials

What is not possible

A few materials cannot be worked with. They might not react well to the heat of the laser or create toxic fumes during the process.

  • All materials containing PVC (polyvinylchloride), for example many foils and synthetic leathers. Foamed PVC like Forex is also not possible.
  • Cutting metals thicker than 0.5mm Machine is not strong enough, engraving/marking is possible on most metals.
  • Polycarbonates (Makrolon, Lexan), Bad results
  • Polystyrene- and polypropylene foam: Melts strongly during cutting, fire hazard.
  • ABS: Bad results
  • Carbon fiber Bad results for cutting and engraving.
