Inquire

  The 100-watt unit is pretty useful at manufacturing centers, but it's also a favorite of hobbyists. You can use it to cut through a lot of materials for your home-based laser engraving company.


  But what precisely will a laser of 100 watts cut?

  A 100-watt laser cutter can cut a sheet of aluminum like a butter stick. This is why it is widely used in the metal processing and garment industries. You will also use it to cut materials such as plastic, cardboard, ceramic, leather, oak, stone, marble and more.


  Materials that can be sliced by a 100-watt laser

  The list of materials that can be cut using a 100-watt laser cutter includes:

    •   Acrylic (3mm, 6mm, 12mm, 25mm).

    •   Leather

    •   Cardboard

    •   Plastic that can be lasered

    •   Paper

    •   A one-eighth inch of MDF

    •   Rubber Stamp

    •   Wooden planks


  What to note about using a 100-watt laser cutter for various materials

  When cutting acrylic, you may want to keep switching the speed of your machine to a fine, fast cut. For eg, speed 15 is good for sculpting a 6mm acrylic board. But you need to dial the pace down to 1 for an inch of content.

  A sheet of paper with a 100-watt laser is very easy to scorch. So, start by shifting the speed to 400 and change it slowly until you get your sweet spot.

  The 100-watt laser works well with sheets of varying thickness (3mm to 12mm in thickness). Do remember to use a transfer tape if there is any evidence of scorching. Monitor the speed of the laser cutter, based on the thickness of the wood. 50 is a decent pace for 3mm wood and 5 is suitable for half an inch or 12mm.


  Will you engrave a 100-watt laser cutter?

  While we have developed that the 100-watt laser machine is perfect for laser cutting, you can also use it for laser engraving. The materials that you can engrave on are included;

  •   Acrylic

  •   Glass

  •   Aluminum that is anodized

  •   Ceramic

  •   Leather

  •   Brick

  •   MDF

  •   Cardboard

  •   Rubber stamp

  •   Foam

  •   Wood

  •   Marble and granite

  •   Metal

  •   Plastic


  Make sure the lens is correct on the focus to engrave with accuracy. Often have the transfer tape handy to rule out the chances of the content being too hot or scorched. The 100-watt laser cutter is very effective. Keep tabs on your machine's speed at all times. It varies with different materials. Many engravers will come with a user manual that provides all of these information, so be sure to obey the directions given. For eg, engraving a brick may require a speed of 35, whereas engraving a sheet of plastic may require a speed of 400.

  

        What are the benefits of a laser cutter?


  1. Precision – Several cutting methods are available. Thermal cutting, for example. Even then, the laser cut is known to be the best in the norm. When you're trying to sculpt a fiber like a cloth or a leather sheet with the utmost detail, nothing is sharper than a laser cut.

  The laser system uses a strong beam to pinpoint and smoothly cut into the material. Tolerance ranges from 0.003mm to 0.006mm. The laser cut reaches an unprecedented precision.


  2. Pace – Accurate laser cutting can be done in a jiffy. Irrespective of how complicated or complex a specification might appear; a laser cutter can get the job done quickly and efficiently.


  3. Suits the Budget – Sure, a laser engraver will cost tens of thousands of dollars, but if you're just an amateur, you don't have to buy an extravagant one. In reality, there are a lot of fantastic engravers under $1000 that are going to get the job done.


  4. No Damage – There is sometimes a misunderstanding that a laser cut will damage the material, particularly if it is small. But the fact is that the laser cut is not only crisp but also clean and expensive. It does not warp the surfaces of any object. In reality, the beam is extremely strong and slices through the material in the eyelid bat. So, you don't have to think about the content getting compromised or blurred.


  5. Low Power Consumption – The laser cutting unit requires very little power to work. Old and conventional cutting machines, on the other hand, use a lot of electrical power to work. The laser cutter uses less than 10kW of fuel.


  6. Maximum Utilization and Low Waste – Accuracy at work is one of the key selling points of the laser cutting system. The laser cut is accurate on the point and does not do any damage to the material. But you can work on a bulky project without losing a lot of material due to injury, which will be the case for other cutting options. In addition, in addition to cutting, the laser cutter can be used with several other tasks. You will use it to engrave, emboss and even drill into the material to achieve the perfect artistic look.

 

  Final Feeling

  Common cutting techniques, such as thermal and water jets, may still be in use today, but they are messy, costly and too complicated. But cutting with a laser is fast, inexpensive, effective and enjoyable, too. And as we've learned, you can use a 100-watt laser cnc machine on a number of different materials. And the best thing is that you don't need to be a pro to work with a laser system – just mount it as per your user manual, and you're ready to go!
