* This list of materials is based on a Trotec Speedy flexx laser. Flexx lasers combine a CO₂ and a fiber laser source in the one machine.
For more details on the cutting, marking and engraving capabilities of our CO₂ lasers and fiber lasers, refer to this document:

**Cutting metal films up to 0.5mm thickness is potentially possible with a fiber or flexx laser system depending on the individual material. However we highly recommend individual tests are performed by our application engineers to confirm the suitability and the likelihood of success.
