Introduction

Laser engraving is a highly precise method that uses focused laser beams to engrave or mark materials. It is popular due to its ability to create intricate designs on a wide variety of substrates. Understanding the materials that can be effectively engraved using lasers is essential for achieving optimal results.

Materials Suitable for Laser Engraving

Metals

Metals are popular for laser engraving due to their durability and aesthetic finish. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and brass are frequently used. Laser parameters for metals can vary, but generally require high power and low speed settings. For instance, stainless steel requires power settings between 60-80% and speed settings of 100-200 mm/s for effective engraving.

Plastics

Various plastics such as acrylic, polycarbonate, and polyethylene can be laser engraved. Acrylic, for instance, requires moderate laser power settings of 30-50% and speed settings of 250-350 mm/s. The material responds well by producing clear, frosted engravings.

Wood

Wood is a versatile material for laser engraving, with common types including plywood, MDF, and hardwoods. For hardwoods, laser settings generally need lower power at 40-60% and slower speeds of 100-200 mm/s to ensure deep and clean engravings.

Glass

Glass engraving requires precise control to prevent cracking. Typically, low power settings of 15-30% and high speed settings of 300-500 mm/s are used to achieve subtle surface engravings.

Leather

Leather can be engraved with lasers to create custom designs or logos. It usually requires power settings of about 40-60% and speed settings of 250-300 mm/s for accurate results without burning the material.

Fabric

Fabrics such as cotton, felt, and denim can also be engraved. Laser engravers use low power and high speed settings (e.g., 10-20% power and 500-800 mm/s speed) to achieve detailed patterns without cutting through the fabric.
