Very thin laser cut widths (typically 0.1 to 0.3 mm);
The cutting process is completely under computer control and does not require reconfiguration of equipment used to cut components from different types of materials;
The area heated by the laser beam is very small, most of the heated material is removed during the cutting process, the heat affected area is minimized, and there is almost no thermal deformation;
The laser cutting process is performed at a higher speed than other cutting methods;
The cutting process is fully computerized, with minimal loss of material when the cutting width is small and there is no mechanical action on the sheet.
The most popular material for laser processing is acrylic. The laser beam gives you absolutely smooth, even and transparent ends. This effect cannot be achieved by milling. Many ad designs cannot be implemented without the effect of a transparent end. Therefore, laser engraver is an indispensable technology in advertising production. Laser cutting offers many advantages over other cutting methods: the most economical cutting of material, the ability to cut any complex contour, and the machining of very small sized blanks.
In addition to acrylic, laser cutters and engravers are widely used to process wood and plywood, rubber, leather, foam, paper, cardboard.
If your layout contains complex drawing elements of small size, then laser cutting is the best choice for your project.
Laser engraving is a non-contact method of effecting curved and straight lines on a material with a laser.
A very thin laser beam burns the desired profile in the product and allows you to obtain any even the most complex patterns, details, voids. When engraving, the laser beam creates grooves in the material at a given depth, allowing you to implement original design concepts or produce semi-finished products for further assembly of complex products.
When choosing a cutting material, the following characteristics must be considered: Laser cutting of acrylic (plexiglass) provides high quality smooth and uniform ends (clear "mirror" cut of clear acrylic). On plexiglass, the advantages of the Wattsan machine are particularly evident, i.e. a cleaner cut without notches and blowouts, due to many factors in the machine kinematics, namely: belt type, belt reducer type, laser lens and blower Gas, all of which, when used properly, can allow you to get the highest quality cuts without additional improvements.
There are some nuances in cutting casting and extruding acrylic. The laser-treated cutting edge of extruded acrylic and cast acrylic will be slightly different. For example, laser cutting clear cast acrylic is more opalescent than cutting extruded clear acrylic. In both cases, no additional mechanical treatment of the ends is required. With our laser equipment you can cut all types of textiles such as: cotton, silk, felt, linen, wool and more. Almost any drawing can be laser cut. Laser cutting of textiles seals the edges and avoids the "edge" effect. Regardless, we recommend that you make a test cut before starting a material cutting project.
This material is commonly used for various types of work: repairs, reconstructions, construction of new buildings. Of course, the individual elements must be adjusted relative to each other or at the installation site. Therefore, you can't do such operations without cutting. Any guru knows how to do it. Plywood is easy to work, so such a job will not cause any difficulties. But this material is usually not only used for covering frames, flat surfaces, etc. You can cut out the most intricate patterns from paper to decorate any element of your design. All of this is done with traditional or electric jigsaw puzzles, although the job requires experience and accuracy. To simplify the process, many companies offer material cutting services that use a laser machine to cut plywood. There is no doubt that this is a more efficient method. The specificity and higher precision of laser cutting significantly reduces the amount of waste, which makes this method of using materials cost-effective.

Any number of workpieces can be cut, regardless of the complexity of their configuration. Operation is fast. High quality finished samples. No subsequent grinding is required.
But in order to do the job, you'll need a laser machine for cutting plywood. It works as follows. The cutting of the material is carried out by means of a gas laser, with continuous air blows to the treated area to eliminate fires in the wood or apparent charring of the edges. All process management is automated and work is carried out according to specified procedures.
First of all, even plywood of the same grade is not the same. The production technique for this material has its own nuances.
Not to mention the thickness of the sample, the material from which the wood veneer is peeled, the average number of knots per 1 square meter, and many other characteristics are also important. The choice of laser beam operating mode depends on this. Is it possible to take all of this into account and set it up correctly without a lot of experience?
Second, the cost of assembling the device does not pay for itself. If you only need to decorate a specific building with hollow crafts made of plywood, you can contact a specialized studio.
Third, if the case "goes live," such a device could bring in substantial revenue. But professionals, concerned with product quality and speed of work, are unlikely to collect such things by improvisation. There are quite a few related units on sale, so you can easily choose the best model.
Conclusion: It is recommended that companies specializing in the artistic processing of wood purchase a laser machine for cutting plywood. If you need to make something "for home and family", it's best to cut the pattern by hand (though it will be longer) or contact an expert. Modern methods of processing plywood and wood allow you to create unique designs that stand out for their beauty and originality.
Laser cutting of plywood opens up the possibility of manufacturing products of very complex designs. This can be a variety of grilles used to decorate window openings, doors, furniture façade inserts, ceiling elements, interior partitions. This plywood product looks harmonious both in domestic settings and in the interiors of hotels, restaurants, bars, shops and clubs.
Laser-cut plywood for different types of wood varies in beam temperature and degree of blowing.
