What can you make with a laser cutter?
From acrylic signage to precise prototypes - a tour of what a CO₂ laser produces.
A laser cutter is one of the most versatile machines in a fabrication lab. It cuts and engraves flat materials with clean, precise edges - no blades, no sanding. Here is what people actually use ours for.
Signage and branding
Professional acrylic and wood signs for shops, offices and events; engraved logos, name plates, awards and gifts. The finish looks manufactured, not homemade.
Prototypes and technical parts
Precise flat components, enclosure panels, gaskets, jigs and architectural models - the kind of accurate parts that make a prototype look and work right.
Materials it handles
Our large-bed CO₂ laser cuts and engraves wood, acrylic, leather and fabric. If you are not sure whether your material or design will work, send it over and we will tell you.
