Check out our overview page with laser machines or let us advise you without obligation.
In the list below, you will find different materials and the corresponding indication parameters for cutting.
Please note that these values are indications only! Each laser source and power supply are unique. Because of this, each machine is different. Use these values as a guide.
If you use these values but the result is not optimal, try other values. You can, for example, cut 5 x 5 cm squares with different cutting values and choose which value fits best.
