Overview of suitable materials for eurolaser machines
Which materials can be cut or engraved with a laser?
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. Plastics, wood, textiles, foams, glass or coated metals – our laser machines offer maximum flexibility in the choice of materials.
Metals and mineral 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 would also be happy to test your desired material – free of charge and without obligation.
