The best way to describe how laser engraver/cutter works is to compare the system to our printer. Using similar technology, we take the images typically print to paper, but instead of paper we’re actually firing a laser beam that engraves and cuts into a wide variety of materials .The laser beam is created by exciting CO2 gas with electricity to create a very intense beam of visible light. The beam is directed by incredibly precise motion control system to cut and engrave almost any material we can imagine.
