What is CO2 Laser Cutter?

A CO2 laser cutter is an automatic CNC laser cutting system that uses CO2 laser beam to engrave and cut wood, MDF, plywood, chipboard, dieboard, cardborad, acrylic, fabric, jeans, plastic, leather, paper, ABS, EPM, PE, PES, PUR, PVB, PVC, PUR, PMMA, PTFE and thin metals, which is widely used in industrial manufacturing applications, school education, small businesses, home business, small shop and home shop. A CO2 laser cutter is composed of laser cutter frame, laser cutting head, laser lens, laser mirror, laser generator, laser power supply, water chiller, control panel and CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) system. CO2 laser cutter is also known as CO2 laser cutting machine, CO2 laser cutting system, CO2 laser cutting equipment, Non-metal laser cutting machine, CO2 laser engraver, CO2 laser engraving machine, CO2 laser engraving cutting machine.

What can a CO2 laser cutter cut?

Wood, paper, cardboard, plastic, PMMA. And also rubber, leather, metals, and ceramics: CO2 lasers can cut a great number of materials. For this reason, CO2 lasers have become the most widely diffused laser technology for laser material processing.

CO2 laser cutter fields of application

To go into the details, the following list displays the main applications of CO2 laser cutting, ordered by industry:

• Papermaking industry

• Cutting cardboard boxes

• Cutting paper and cardboard

• Stencil cut

• Decorations

• Woodworking industry

• The cutting of any kind, and thickness, of wood, especially Plywood and MDF

• Inlay fine wood

• Engravings of any kind

• Engravings and inlays

• Laser engraving and cutting methacrylate

• Laser engraving and cutting leather goods

• Laser engraving name and number plates

• Laser engraving and cutting textiles

• Laser engraving electronic components

• Laser engraving anodized aluminum and varnished metals. N.B.: the CO2 laser usually doesn’t cut metal but can label or mark them indelibly.

• Engraving of glass, marble, and stones

• Inlays on ivory

• Creation and Customization

• Laser cutting hollow punches

• Laser cutting for architectural models

• Laser cutting plastic, cardboard, or wooden displays.

• Contour and cut labels

• Personalizing gadgets

• Personalizing buttons

• Material machining for model making

The list above is just a short list of the many different materials that can be processed by the CO2 lasers: there are lots of other materials that can be cut with the CO2 laser. Research on the applications of the CO2 laser is still an ongoing process, of which experimentation plays an important role: only experimentation provides us with certainty about the possible applications.
