Laser systems are not all the same. The two main types, CO2 and fibre, are suited to very different materials, and using the right one is the difference between a clean cut and a wasted attempt. We run both at Global3D.
What each does best
CO2 lasers excel at non-metals, cutting and engraving timber, acrylic, card, leather and many plastics cleanly. Fibre lasers, on the other hand, are built for marking and engraving metals, producing crisp, permanent results on steel, aluminium and more.
A few coated or specialty materials can be marked by either, but the general rule holds, CO2 for non-metals and fibre for metals.
Getting the right match
Tell us the material and the result you want, whether cutting, deep engraving or a fine surface mark, and we will choose the right laser system for the job.
