Choosing Your Laser Cutting Machine? What is your primary use for a laser machine? Not all laser machine manufacturers differentiate between these two operations. However, we have CO2 (DC and RF), the best laser cutting machines that can perform both of these tasks. The difference between laser cutting systems and engraving machines is in the optics and power that are subtly tuned for the specific task the laser machine is designed for. Higher laser powers are needed for cutting at production speeds. Our larger, cutting machines are fitted with an optical system designed for this purpose, maximising the productivity obtainable from their powerful 80W and 100W and higher power laser tubes. CTR's 50W to 80W laser engraving machines are optimised for engraving, with a different focal length lens to give a sharper focus for very fine detail. Both our laser cutters and laser engraving machines for sale can perform both tasks, but it is best to choose the model based on your volume requirements. Which materials are you looking to process?


Generally, the harder the material, the greater the power of laser required for a given task. Thickness of the material also needs consideration. Higher powers of laser cutters or engravers are capable of deeper penetration into any given material. A general rule to remember is 'double the power and you can double the speed'. The best way to get answers is to send us a sample of the material you wish to process, along with details regarding your aim. We will be pleased to run trials and give the best advice possible to suit your needs. What size of sheet material will you use for your job? This is more straight-forward. Select a laser machine with a bed of a larger size than the part you need to cut or engrave. Having said that, remember what we said under the topic 'Running costs'? Nesting smaller items on a larger sheet can significantly improve productivity and reduce waste. Larger laser cutting machines are better if you have high volumes to produce. Look at the comparison tables on the 'Laser cutters' and 'Laser Engravers' links to see the work areas of the machines. The choice of the best laser cutting machine shouldn't be made on budget alone!

  • 2 What Can I Use a Laser Engraving Machine For

Consider the watts or milliwatts that the product has. If you go for a machine that lists its laser power in milliwatts, chances are it is a low power laser. Software compatibility: You can either work with the software that comes with the engraver or settle with a machine that supports third-party software. Working with the software designed by the company that makes a machine limits your ability to utilize your creativity fully. On the bright side, though, these machines cost less. Material: Think about the type of materials you want to work on. Most machines on the market work on softer materials like leather and paper, but others work with metal. Before you buy a specific model, make sure it will work well on the type of materials you want to engrave. Make sure you know what your plans are before settling with a specific model. Connection: You also need to consider how the machine will connect to your computer.


You will notice that most models on the market connect via USB while others also connect via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless interface. You can go for a wireless model if you want to free up your workspace. Size: Before choosing a specific model, you also need to consider the space you have to work with. The sizes of engraving machines vary depending on their design and feature included. You can go for a small machine that fits on your desk or a stand-alone model if you have the advantage of space. Remember that the larger these models are, the heavier some of them are so portability may be an issue for some of them. PC software makes it easy to work with these machines; this is why we have listed some of the best PC software available for different types of engraving. GIMP: although it is free software, it is quite reliable. The software has image editing tools like transformation, and it works perfectly on all operating systems.
