What types of laser are there? Which xTool or Gravotech laser engraving machine is right for your business?
Here you will learn everything you need to know if you want to get started with laser engraving or are interested in buying a laser engraver..
1. CO2 laser
The CO2 laser source is particularly suitable for marking, engraving and cutting organic materials such as leather, wood, textiles and plastics. Which laser source is suitable for which material? Click here for an overview of laser materials.
2. fiber laser
Although some organic materials and plastics can be processed with a fiber laser, this type of laser is particularly suitable for marking, engraving and cutting metals such as aluminum, brass and (stainless) steel. Which laser source is suitable for which material? Click here for an overview of laser materials.
3. hybrid laser (Edge)
The hybrid laser combines the properties of a CO2 and a fiber laser. Which laser source is suitable for which material? Click here for an overview of laser materials.
4. diode laser
The diode laser source is particularly suitable for cutting wood, MDF, paper, leather, felt and opaque acrylic. With a wavelength of approx. 455–1064 nm, they are ideal for these materials. Due to their compact design, diode lasers are often used in small laser cutting machines for hobby users and small businesses. Which laser source is suitable for which material?

5. Infrared laser
The infrared laser source is particularly suitable for engraving and marking metals, plastics and non-organic materials such as stainless steel, copper, gold, silver, titanium, acrylic, silicone, ABS and PVC. With a typical wavelength of 1064 nm, infrared lasers work precisely and allow fine details and clean markings. They are often used in industrial applications where the highest accuracy is required.
