Create Beautiful Designs Using a Wood Laser Engraver

August 28, 2023

Have you ever seen an image laser engraved on a piece of wood in stunning detail? With the right equipment and tools, you can be the artist behind one of those masterpieces. Modern lasers love wood. It can cut, mark, or engrave both hardwoods and softwoods, but some woods respond better to laser cutting and engraving than others. In this article, we'll discuss the different laser engravers, types of wood, and the machines that suit the requirements of skilled laser engravers and creative minds like you.

What types of wooden designs can you create?
The possibilities are endless when it comes to the types of wood art that can be created with these laser engravers. Typical applications for laser cutting wood are photo engraving, prototyping, gifts, jewelry, inlays, toys and model making. Whether you're developing a product, working on a hobby project, running a laser engraving business or prototyping a new design, a laser system can help you create faster and with higher quality. All it takes is a little imagination and our laser engraver!

The best wood laser engravers in our range

What types of wood are suitable for carving?
One of the biggest factors affecting the results of wood laser engraving is the resin or sap content of the specific wood species you are engraving. Wood typically burns lightly or deeply, depending on the resin or sap content. If you want a deeper burn, choose a wood with a high resin content, such as cherry or alder. If you want to leave minimal burn for a particular application, you'll want to choose a wood with a lower resin content.

CO2/Diode - Which Laser Engraver is Best for You?
Choosing a laser cutter is a big decision, and it can be expensive. Deciding between a diode laser and a CO2 laser is relatively simple: if you're only doing small projects that involve marking or cutting thin, soft materials, it's best to buy a diode laser. For anything beyond that, CO2 lasers are what you want because of their broader processing capabilities, although figuring out which works best for you can be difficult.

Diode laser
Diode lasers are also called semiconductor lasers. Light is emitted when current is passed through the semiconductor, which can be used in a variety of applications. They are widely used in our daily life, from laser printers to optical discs such as DVD, etc. Diode lasers have the advantages of small size, low voltage, and low current, so they are usually installed on smaller laser cutting machines.

Carbon dioxide laser
A CO2 laser is a carbon dioxide gas that produces infrared light for use in lasers. They are energy-efficient, high-yielding and are often used in professional laser cutting machines

Laser engraving is a popular option that provides a permanent and legible marking on an object through etching, ablation, or deep laser engraving. It is similar to laser marking, but the resulting appearance differs due to the depth of laser penetration.
Laser engraving is commonly used to create permanent serial markings on substrates made of: Metal, Wood, Plastic, Leather.
Benefits Of Laser Engraving Over Traditional Processes
Compared to manual engraving:
Minimally Invasive: Laser engraving can be performed at a range of depths without any direct contact at all. Surface marks can even be done on stainless steel with no depth. Overall, lasers are less damaging than manual engraving and keep the substrate material’s physical integrity intact.
Precise: Lasers provide a level of control that’s impossible to achieve manually. Compared to hand-engraving, the process is swift, clean, and highly repeatable, with little room for human error.
Versatile: A single laser engraving machine can be used to create a host of different designs with only minimal calibration. They can also produce exceptionally complex patterns. Affordable: On average, laser devices last longer than other engraving machines and require less maintenance, resulting in savings that can be passed along to the consumer.
Fast: Lasers can be programmed to render virtually any design in a matter of moments. Because the process is automated, it’s easy to scale production runs as needed according to demand.
Long-Lasting: Laser-engraved designs are permanent but can wear over time, depending on the substrate material that’s used. Soft metals, for example, may experience more signs of wear than hardwood. In general, however, laser-engraved designs tend to have a longer lifespan compared to other engraving methods.
