Laser Cutting for Wood – The Preferred Method
Laser cutting is the ideal technique for processing wood and wood-based materials. It offers excellent control and detail, producing smooth, clean edges and intricate designs without the need for secondary tooling.
Benefits of Laser Cutting Wood:
- High Precision: Perfect for detailed work including engraving, signage, and custom joinery.
- Clean Edges: Creates crisp cuts with minimal charring when correctly calibrated.
- Fast & Efficient: Ideal for batch production or one-off pieces.
- Design Versatility: Suitable for MDF, plywood, hardwood, softwood, veneers and composite panels.
We regularly cut wood for applications such as decorative panels, cabinetry, furniture components, display items, and more.
Waterjet Cutting for Wood (Not Recommended)
Waterjet cutting is generally not recommended for wood due to the porous nature of the material. Water absorption can cause warping, delamination, or surface damage, especially in softer woods or composites. In most cases, laser cutting is the superior and safer option.
