CO2 laser engraving and cutting of other materials

When we talk about laser engraving and cutting of other materials, we are referring to non-ferrous materials, which are not metals. For example: wood, methacrylate, plastics, acrylic, cork, rubber, leather, cardboard, etc.

Due to their molecular structure and density, these materials are more “delicate”. Applying excessively concentrated power to them could damage them.

For these cases the CO2 laser system is available.

CO2 laser engraving and cutting system

The CO2 laser works with a wavelength between 9.4 and 10.6 µm (microns). That is, about 10 times more than the fiber laser. So the point of impact is higher. Thus, the power is diffused in a larger area, without being so aggressive for the piece.

Therefore, this system allows you to engrave and cut materials that are “softer” than metals, without damaging them. Materials such as those indicated above: wood, methacrylate, plastics, acrylic, cork, rubber, leather, cardboard, etc.

Note that, in the case of engraving, it can be given the necessary height, both in negative (the engraved drawing remains inside) and positive (the engraved drawing remains in relief). As well as how to make a superficial engraving (marking).

Applications of CO2 laser engraving and cutting

The applications of CO2 laser engraving and cutting are multiple and varied

Building signage

Hostel, industry, residential “urban or rural”

Decorative and embellishing elements

For outdoors and indoors

Identification plates

For machinery and mechanical parts

Profiles

Assembly of models from the CAD drawing

Tampon manufacturing

Rubber stamps and dry stamps
