Do I need a computer to use a laser engraver?

Before we start this guide on do I need a computer to use a laser engraver, let’s learn what is a laser engraver machine.

Laser engraving is the practice to use a laser machine to engrave on most objects. Today, this technology is highly accurate and it includes using laser marking machines to make permanent markings on different types of materials. 

Do you need a computer to use a laser engraver?

Yes, you will surely need a computer to use your laser engraver machine. In addition, you will also require a graphics software program along with any machine accessories you select. 

If you are thinking about which laser machine to buy to do laser engraving and cutting, in this post we are going to help you solve your doubt. We want to give you some recommendations, such as the most suitable machine for each type of creation. Whether it is large customizations, chain productions, or even handicrafts, there is a machine for everyone.

Laser types:

In the world of laser cutting and engraving, we find three different types and we are going to briefly mention them so that you know them:

CO2 laser: This type of laser is capable of cutting and engraving a large number of materials such as wood, methacrylate, and acrylic... but not aluminum or metals. Machines of this type of laser are usually the most profitable in terms of investment and production quality.

Fiber optic laser and Yag laser: The main difference between these two types of laser compared to CO2 is that it only cuts metals and some high-strength plastic materials. However, they can engrave on almost any material with the exception of some metals. Another characteristic of the fiber optic laser and the Yag laser is that the engraving precision is higher than that of CO2. Of course, the cost of the machinery is much higher.

At Atomstack, we recommend CO2 laser engraving and cutting machines for your business due to their value for money. They are cheaper than the other two and allow you to make a large number of personalized items with this revealing technique.

We know from experience that shopping for a laser engraver cutter can be a daunting task. There are so many models, makes, and configurations on the market that it can be hard to know where to start.
