Cut and engrave a variety of woods including plywood, MDF and balsa wood.
With Trotec laser machines you can cut and engrave toys, arts and crafts, souvenirs, Christmas jewellery, gift items, architectural models and inlays from a number of different woods. When laser cutting and engraving wood the focus is often on personal customisation options. Depending on the type of wood thicknesses of up to 20 mm can be laser cut. When engraving wood, the type of wood is freely selectable as the engraving finish is important.
When processing wood the laser is a versatile tool. For example, in the design industry the different coloured engravings which can be achieved (brown and white) along with the dark laser cutting lines can help designs to stand out from competitors. With wood you can design new products for a wide variety of industries, whether you are producing laser cut mdf, plywood cutting or engraving solid wood sheets.
Added value through personalisation and precision: Make each piece unique, engrave logos, names or images. A precise laser cut creates custom-fit parts with a tenth of a millimeter precision even for the finest geometries. Non-contact processing not only saves time but also lets you process the finest materials.
"We use the Speedy 400 for a variety of applications in the prop making and set building process at Pinewood Creative. The Trotec machine has enabled us to stop out-sourcing work and increase the quality and efficiency of the things we make, whilst the option to upgrade if our needs change gives us peace of mind."- Laurens Nockels - Head of Pinewood Creative - Pinewood Studios Group -
"Simply put, my Trotec laser has allowed me to fulfil a lifelong ambition and start my own business. It’s fast and has quality results every time. I’ve had the machine for two years now and it’s been running smoothly without any hitches."- Mike Johnson - owner of Jurassic Models -
"The difference in the quality of the finish between our previous laser machine and our Trotec Speedy 100 is like the difference between a cheap readymeal and Michelin Star cuisine - truly amazing! The quality is more than 100% better, and we’ve had a great experience on the technical support and sales side."- Lisa Ebdon - Owner and Managing Director of Hickory Dickory -
Yes. Wood lasering is a sublimation process. However, this is usually desirable. Accurate focusing, selecting the appropriate parameters, use of suitable optics and supply of compressed air allow laser cutting and engraving of the highest quality.
Since wood is a natural material, the wood laser cutter machine user must consider a number of parameters such as the density and the resin content of the wood for the processing. Soft woods, such as balsa, require less laser power and can be cut quickly. Hardwood which is a dense wood on the other hand, requires more laser power. For laser cut MDF, which consists of glued wood fibers, Trotec recommends using compressed air.
The brownish-coloured laser engraving is well known. When processing varnished wood, you can also achieve a white engraving with the appropriate laser settings. We recommend very low power at high speed.
By defocussing the laser beam – about 0.5 to 2 mm – the laser spot becomes larger. The power density is thus reduced. With this beam, laser engraving wood results in a particularly dark engraving. Details may be lost however during this process. Try this method and see the results for yourself!
Laser engraving wood is a sublimation process. The solid material is converted directly into gaseous state through combustion. The extraction will filter the smoke.
