What types of graphics can I engrave and cut?

Understand the kinds of graphics and file types you can print with a laser machine

You can engrave scanned photos, logos, bitmaps, other images, text, and AutoCAD files. Essentially, if you can print it, you can engrave it. To cut, you will need a vector based graphic, such as an .eps or Illustrator file.

Keep in mind the higher the quality of the graphic you’re working with, the better your engraving results.

Cutting Metal

Applications & Materials
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.

Working with Polycarbonate

Applications & Materials
Cutting: Thin sheets of polycarbonate can be cut with our CO2 laser systems, but the material tends to discolor when heated by the laser beam.
