Material overview for eurolaser CO₂ laser machines

Suitable materials for laser cutting and laser engraving

With CO₂ laser machines from eurolaser, you can process a wide range of non-metallic materials – precisely, contact-free and without tool wear. Whether rigid sheets, flexible rolls or sensitive surfaces: our modular laser machines are optimised for a wide variety of materials and applications. Plastics, wood, textiles, foams, glass or coated metals – our laser machines offer maximum flexibility in material processing.

Metals and mineral-based materials can usually be engraved, but not cut. The following table shows you at a glance which materials are suitable for processing with eurolaser machines.

We are also happy to test your material – free of charge and without obligation.
