Laser processing wood without dust and shavings

​During laser processing no shavings or dust are created due to the immense effect of the heat. The organic material is simply vaporized and extracted as smoke. The machine and its surroundings do not have to be cleaned after the laser operation. For more information on laser cutting wood please contact us.

​The Rayjet engraves wood surfaces including pictures, texts and ornaments. Wood engravings thus obtained have a depth of 0.1 mm to 4 mm. Create reliefs with a stunning 3D effect on your material. In addition, cutting edges are darker in color due to the heat effect, which produces another beautiful optical effect.

Clean cutting edges produced at top speed

The major speed advantage over mechanical wood processing results from the laser-cut edges. No post processing is required for wood after the cutting operation, as edges are cut within tenths of a millimeter and already sealed by the high temperature. 

How does the Rayjet laser engraver work?

​The Rayjet works in a similar way to an office printer. Send your cutting or engraving file directly from your usual graphics program to the laser. As soon as you have selected the type of material, you can start the laser engraving process. More information about the Rayjet laser can be found on the product page.
