WOOD LASER CUTTERS & ENGRAVERS LP
Why you need laser engravers and cutters for your woodworks?
Wood is an essential raw material for several different industries. This is due to its versatility as well as its famous nature. It is also a better material for engraving and cutting. This is because of its surface discoloration and the increased depth compared to other materials.
For wood to be processed into the desired finish products, it most times has to go through several processes, including cutting and engraving. As time goes by, people have gradually left traditional saw cutting and engraving for laser technology. Efficient CO2 laser technologies are now being employed for engraving and cutting of wood, especially those that are very homogenous.

While hardwoods require more power, softer woods need a lower laser power. Primarily, a clean laser cutting of 1/4 inches wood can be done using FlexMax Laser & CNC machines of 50 watts in a single pass, and up to 3/4 inches and above with 150 watts.
What type of Wood is best for Laser Engraving?
Depending on the amount of resin or sap, the most CO2 laser will change wood light or dark. In either case, the laser burns deeper and darker, resulting in the darker appearance. However, laser engravings or markings are most suitable for woods with low resin, smooth grain, because they will present a lovely setting and appearance to the laser processed area.
Such woods include cherry, West Coast Alder, balsa wood, hickory and Pacific Coast Maple. Unique effects can be derived using other species, feel free to experiment. When you have selected your preferred wood type, you can proceed to test different power and speed levels.
