Introduction

Wood laser engraving machines utilize focused laser beams to etch designs onto various materials. The precision and versatility of these machines make them an invaluable asset in industries ranging from manufacturing to art. This article discusses the array of materials that can be processed using wood laser engraving technology along with specific parameters and numerical analysis to maximize efficiency.

Materials Suitable for Wood Laser Engraving Machines

While primarily designed for wood, these machines can handle a wide variety of materials:

1. Wood

Different types of wood, such as plywood, MDF, and hardwood, are compatible. Laser power settings vary:

• Softwoods like pine: 30-40 W
• Hardwoods like oak: 40-50 W
• MDF: 45-55 W

2. Acrylic

Acrylic is popular for its clean edges and clarity:

• Thickness up to 10 mm: 40-50 W
• Fast speed: 300-600 mm/s

3. Leather

Laser engraving is ideal for customizing leather goods, requiring a gentle approach:

• Power settings: 15-25 W
• Speed: 200-400 mm/s

4. Glass

While glass doesn't etch deeply, lasers can create frosted designs:

• Power settings: 10-20 W
• Speed: 300-500 mm/s

5. Metal

For metals like aluminum and stainless steel, enhanced laser machines or specialized coatings may be required:

• Coated metals: 50-60 W
• Raw metals with fiber lasers: 20-30 W
