  • What Materials Are Used for Laser Cutting?
    What Materials Are Used for Laser Cutting? Apr 18, 2025
    Laser cutting is a versatile technology capable of processing a wide range of materials, depending on the type of laser (e.g., CO₂, fiber, or Nd:YAG) and its power. Below is a categorized list of materials commonly used in laser cutting, along with key considerations:   1. Metals Steel & Stainless Steel: Cut effectively with fiber lasers, ideal for automotive and industrial parts. Aluminum: Requires higher power due to reflectivity and thermal conductivity; fiber lasers are preferred. Titanium: Used in aerospace and medical industries; fiber lasers are suitable. Copper & Brass: Challenging due to high reflectivity; requires high-power fiber lasers with specific wavelengths. Nickel Alloys: Used in high-temperature applications; fiber lasers are effective.   2. Plastics Acrylic (PMMA): Provides smooth edges with CO₂ lasers, common in signage and displays. Polycarbonate: Cuts well but may discolor; requires controlled settings. PET/Polyester: Used for packaging and textiles. Avoid PVC: Releases toxic chlorine gas when cut.   3. Wood & Derivatives Plywood & MDF: Popular for furniture and decor; CO₂ lasers work well but may char edges. Balsa & Hardwoods: Thinner sheets cut cleanly; resin-rich woods may require air assist to prevent burning.   4. Fabrics & Textiles Cotton, Polyester, Felt: Precision cutting for apparel without fraying; CO₂ lasers are common. Leather: Used in fashion and upholstery; synthetic leathers may emit harmful fumes.   5. Paper & Cardboard - Intricate designs for packaging, art, and prototypes; low-power CO₂ lasers prevent scorching.   6. Rubber & Foam Silicone/Neoprene: Cut for gaskets or seals. EVA/Polyurethane Foam: Used in cosplay and packaging; CO₂ lasers with air assist prevent melting.   7. Composites Carbon Fiber: Requires caution due to hazardous dust; fiber lasers can cut but need ventilation. Fiberglass: Possible with CO₂ lasers, but produces rough edges.   8. Glass & Ceramics Engraving Only*: CO₂ lasers can etch surfaces, but cutting through requires specialized setups (e.g., laser scoring with mechanical breaking). Key Considerations Laser Type: CO₂ for non-metals, fiber for metals. Thickness: Thinner materials (e.g., <20mm metal, <10mm wood) cut more efficiently. Safety: Avoid toxic materials (e.g., PVC); ensure ventilation for fumes/dust. Applications: Ranges from industrial parts (metals) to artistic designs (acrylic, paper).   This list highlights the adaptability of laser cutting across industries, emphasizing material compatibility, laser specifications, and safety precautions.   If you have more ideas, please contact us!
