The Basics
Laser Cutting
Vector Cutting is the most common application of laser machines and with 0.01mm accuracy it is easy to understand why. The laser’s computer will follow the vector line which you have drawn in the files to cut all the way through the material you have chosen: You prepare the file and we program the laser…
Laser Raster (Infill) Engraving
Raster Engraving, also known as Infill Engraving is a method of marking the surface of the material of an area. The laser’s computer will infill the shaped vector line which you have drawn in the files to etch only the surface of the material: You prepare the file and we program the laser machine to…
Laser Vector Engraving
Vector Engraving, also known as Surface Cutting, Kiss Cutting or scoring is a method of almost drawing onto the surface of the material, a good way of putting information on the material fairly quickly.The laser’s computer will follow the vector line which you have drawn in the files to etch only the surface of the…
CNC Profile Machining – Cutting
The CNC Router works in a similar way to the laser machine, but instead of cutting with a laser beam, a fast spinning cutting bit follows the vector file to cut through the material. The router can cut through thicker and denser sheet materials than the laser machine and leaves a smooth, unburnt edge, which…
CNC Engraving
CNC Engrave works in 2 ways: similar to the laser machine: Infill Engrave – the inside area of a shape material is removed to a set depth, for example removing 2mm from the surface of the flat material. It works only in flat layers, but you can create different depths by setting different colours in the…
