How Laser Cutting and Engraving
Wood Works?

Laser Engraving Wood
Laser engraving uses a focused laser beam to burn or vaporize the surface of the wood, creating intricate designs, patterns, or text. The laser precisely etches away a thin layer of the wood to form the desired design without cutting through the material.

Laser Cutting Wood
Laser cutting uses a powerful laser beam to cut through wood with high precision. The laser melts or vaporizes the material along a specific path, allowing for intricate shapes and designs to be cut out cleanly and efficiently. The process can handle both thin and thick wood materials.
