What materials can CNC laser machines cut?
Our machines cut and engrave metals, woods, plastics, acrylics, leather, and composites — with appropriate power settings and optics.
What is a good laser power for cutting steel?
Steel cutting typically requires higher power (e.g., >1000 W for thicker steel), depending on thickness. For thinner metals or non-metals, lower power is sufficient.
How large a work area do I need?
Choose a work area at least as large as your largest material sheet. Going just above your current needs gives headroom as your production scales.
What is a CNC laser machine?
It uses computer-controlled fiber optics to vaporize materials precisely, ideal for non-contact cutting.
How does it compare to a CNC router?
Lasers handle metals better and require no tool changes, though routers suit softer woods.
What's the typical cost?
Entry models start under $50,000; industrial units like ours range $100,000+ for pro features. Get an affordable price by contacting us.
Are they safe?
Yes — with proper ventilation and eyewear, risks stay low.
What is the difference between a CNC laser and a CNC router?
A CNC laser uses a highly focused light beam for non-contact cutting, while a CNC router uses a physical tool bit. Lasers are ideal for thin sheet metals and intricate cuts, while routers are better for thicker materials and non-metal substrates like wood and plastic.
