Laser machines are versatile tools capable of engraving or cutting a wide range of materials, including wood, acrylic, leather, and certain coated metals. They’re commonly used in custom signage, hobby projects, packaging, and light manufacturing. When choosing a laser engraver, it’s important to consider the laser type—CO₂ lasers are well-suited for non-laser engraving / laser cutting, while fiber lasers are typically used for direct metal marking. Other key factors include bed size, power output, supported file formats, and whether you’ll need extras like a rotary attachment for cylindrical objects. Understanding these specs can help you find the best laser machine setup for your specific tasks and workflow.
