What should you not laser engrave?

There are several materials that cannot be used for laser engraving such as:

- Leather and artificial leather

- Carbon fibers (Carbon)

- Polyvinyl butyrale (PVB)

- Beryllium oxide

- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

- Polytetrafluoroethylenes (PTFE /Teflon)

- Any other materials containing halogens such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine, epoxy, or phenolic resins

Then what are the most recommended Atomstack laser engraving applications? Let’s find out here in this guide.

Most recommended laser engraving applications:

The main point in favor of laser engraving machine is its great versatility. Laser engraving is such a versatile marking method that the applications for which it can be used are only limited by the imagination.

The versatility and ease of use of a laser far exceed that of a mechanical engraving system. The same allows you to engrave and cut materials such as acrylics, methacrylates, plastics, wood, etc., to personalize jeans or a glass cup.

Many engraving businesses have been able to expand into new markets thanks to laser technology, in some cases complementing their mechanical engraving equipment (lasers can mark practically everything that mechanical equipment cannot reach), and in others directly replacing it.

Wood laser engraving and cutting:

In the case of wood, the simplification generated by laser engraving machine makes its use very attractive. The "burnt" aspect of the engraved texts, the possibility of adding any type of logo without vectorization and even photographs, makes laser engraving very attractive and easy to carry out, whatever the type and quality of wood.

Engraving and laser cutting of methacrylates or acrylics:

Acrylic or methacrylate materials are other of the most popular for laser engraving and cutting, especially in the field of sports trophies, methacrylate furniture, gifts, signs, displays, promotional items, etc.

With these materials, Atomstack laser engraving machine is considered the most popular and easiest engraving method, revealing itself as an extremely simple, profitable, fast, efficient, and versatile process. The laser engraves the acrylic by vaporizing its surface and generating a white and brilliant finish. No special tools or techniques are required, and it is a very simple process to engrave highly detailed logos and text.

Engraving of photographs and logos or designs in great detail:

Engraving highly detailed photos and logos is another reason to opt for laser engraving machine technology. A laser is capable of recognizing and recording the different levels of gray or color that make up any bitmap image. 

Laser engraving and cutting of other organic materials

In general terms, CO2 laser engravers and cutters are specific for working on organic materials, that is, materials that are not heat conductors: wood, paper, plastics, acrylics, laminates, skin and leather, textiles, rubber, etc.

What materials can you use with a laser machine?

You can engrave infinite materials on a laser engraving and cutting machine. Here is a list of materials:

- Paper Rubber EVA Methacrylate

- Cardboard Textile vinyl Two-layer plastic

- Wood PET Glass

- Cork Fleece Ceramic

- Felt Rubber Granite, marble, etc.

- Delrin Canvas Anodized Metals

- Polypropylene Leather And many more

As you can see, there are endless materials that you can use to create items from scratch, and endless products that you can customize for a large number of markets.
