Tips for laser cutting and laser engraving of toys
Wood is a popular material for toys. Can you laser cut and engrave any wood?
Since wood is a natural material, be sure to consider factors such as the density and the resin content of the wood you are processing. Soft woods, such as balsa, require less laser power and can be cut more quickly. Hardwood, on the other hand, is denser so it requires more laser power. For MDF, which consists of glued wood fibers, we recommend using compressed air.
Is the wood engraving always dark?
The brownish-colored laser engraving is very common. When you process varnished wood with the appropriate laser settings, you can also achieve a white engraving. To do this, we recommend very low power at high speed.
There is smoke in the processing area. What to do?
Laser processing of wood is a sublimation process. That is, the solid material is converted directly into gaseous state through combustion. Here also dust is formed, which is perceptible as smoke. For wood processing, we therefore recommend the use of an efficient extraction system. Thereby you achieve perfect engraving and cutting results. In addition, the service life of your laser machine can thus be prolonged. That is, extraction with maximum flow rate is essential when it comes to wood processing with lasers.
