Can Epilog’s lasers cut metal?

Learn if Epilog Laser machines are suited for cutting metal

Since we use low power CO2 (30 to 120 watts) and fiber lasers (10 to 50 watts) the beam will clearly mark on coated and raw metal but our systems are not ideally suited for metal-cutting applications. Our fiber laser systems may be compatible for cutting some thin metals as we have seen success cutting thin foils, up to .012″, with our fiber lasers.

Please contact our Applications Lab to discuss your metal-cutting applications and see if they can work with our systems!
