We have three laser cutters in the space; each has their own pros and cons.

Left laser

A basic, large laser cutter. 18 x 32 inch bed. 75 watts

Good for:

• Raster engraves on most materials

• Light materials (like paper), that might fly away if air assist is used on them.

Bad for:

• Cutting thick materials

• Cutting flammable materials

Note: acrylic can be cut on this laser so long as the paper covering is removed first.

right laser

A basic, large laser cutter with air assist*. 18 x 32 inch bed. 150 watts

Good for:

• Cutting flammable materials

• Cutting thick materials

• Cutting most materials in general

Bad for:

• Raster engraving

Note: acrylic can be cut on this laser without removing the paper.

Foam core and plywood thicker than .25" must be cut on this laser.

*The air assist is a special system that blows a constant stream of pressured air onto the material as the laser is cutting. This helps prevent flames from popping up and burning materials like foam or thick wood (1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, etc.).

small laser

A small, tabletop laser cutter with a rotary system if desired. 11 x 24 inch bed. 60 watts

Good for:

• Engraving water bottles and other cylindrical objects

• Basic cuts and engraves (same as the large left laser)

Bad for:

• Large cuts

• Larger sized and thicker materials

Note: acrylic can be cut on this laser so long as the paper covering is removed first.
