Cutting

Textiles

There are thousands of textiles that can be cut with our laser. Paper, leather, rubber, clothe and wire mesh are only a few examples. The laser bonds the edges of most textiles, leaving a nice clean edge without frays.

Plastics

Most plastics cut very well with laser, leaving a polished finish on the edges that requires very if any final machining. Intricate and unusual shapes can be cut using laser. We also cut acrylic mirror and corrugated plastic. Neon acrylic is great for laser cutting; the laser leaves an edge that disperses light extremely well. Sizes up to 60″x 120″.

Woods
Some woods cut extremely well with laser. The laser leaves a slightly dark to dark edge on
the wood, this can be removed easily by wiping or slightly sanding the edges. Great for hobbyist and model making.

Manufactured Wood

Plywood standard building grade plywood is a material that usually does not produce an acceptable result when engraved. It is also a very difficult material to cut. Since the grain of the wood chips in the plywood run in different directions, it is difficult to obtain a consistent depth when engraving. Air bubbles within the plywood cause problems because they severely disrupt the laser beam when cutting. Because of the air bubbles it is virtually impossible to cut cleanly through standard plywood.

There are specialty plywood products that can be found in hobby shops or specialty wood stores that will engrave and cut much nicer than standard plywood products purchased through your local lumber supplier.
