Laser Engraving: How We Use Fiber and CO2 Lasers to Mark Different Materials
Laser engraving is a popular and effective technique for creating permanent, detailed marks on a variety of materials. With the right equipment, such as fiber and CO2 lasers, we can engrave on almost everything—from metal and plastic to wood and glass. Let’s explore how each laser type works and what materials they’re best suited for.
Our Laser Equipment
We have two main types of lasers:
- 30W Fiber Laser
- Suitable for marking metals and some plastics
- High precision and speed
- Ideal for industrial applications and durable marking
- Marks are highly durable and resistant to wear
- Fast and precise, excellent for batch production
- CO2 Laser
- Suitable for organic materials (wood, leather, rubber, glass, acrylic)
- Produces smooth, detailed frosted, or illuminated engravings
- Great for signage, awards, and decorative items
- Big engraving field 600×900 mm
How We Can Graw Different Materials
| Material | Suitable Laser Type | Main Characteristics & Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Metal | Fiber Laser | Clear, permanent marks, high precision; ideal for tags, jewelry, industrial parts |
| Wood | CO2 Laser | Warm, natural engravings; perfect for signage, decor, gifts |
| Acrylic | CO2 Laser | Crisp, white engravings with high contrast |
| Glass | CO2 Laser | Frosted, elegant etchings; commonly used for awards and decorative items |
| Leather | CO2 Laser | Dark, sharp markings; great for wallets, belts, and personalized gifts |
| Rubber | CO2 Laser | Suitable for stamps, labels, and promotional items |
| Plastic | Both (mainly CO2) | Depending on plastic type; can be engraved with high detail |
Summary
Using our two lasers—fiber and CO2—we can handle a wide range of materials for different engraving needs.
- Fiber laser is perfect for permanent metal markings and industrial purposes.
- CO2 laser excels in engraving organic materials, glass, and plastics with beautiful, detailed designs.
