CO2 Laser (with Metal Marking Spray Support)

With a spacious 1000mm x 600mm work area, our CO2 lasers are ideal for cutting and engraving non-metallic materials. Using metal marking spray, we can produce a dark, high-contrast, permanent mark on the surface of bare metals.

Typical uses:

• Laser-cut acrylic letters for signs

• Engraved wooden or glass plaques and awards

• Custom packaging inserts (foam or card)

• Detailed leather branding (bags, belts, tags)

• Architectural models (paperboard, MDF, acrylic)
