Laser cutting


When it comes to laser cutting first of all comes the question: what is it? Described simply, is the process of cutting a piece through a complete penetration of the material by the focused laser beam.

Regarding the advantages of this technology, laser cutting offers several benefits materials. It is proven that laser cutting is flexible in the material and can process without catching the material. Combining these advantages with quality and speed makes it unique, because there is no other device that reaches this value.

Another domain where the laser cutting technology is being used is laser marking. Etching and marking are often being used as substitutes, however the difference is clear. The marking process doesn’t involve a direct interaction with the material.


The marking is not actually interacting with the material. Rather, the image is obtained by the exposure of the contrast material. The most common application is the paint removal.

The advantages of laser marking are more and more revealed when we are talking about this evolving technology. The biggest advantage is that laser marking is creating images with fine details. Laser marking requires no grip and does not leave much residue.

The newest concept of the laser cutting is represented by Rayjet. Rayjet desktop laser is connected to the computer as a regular printer. The graphics are done with commercial software (Corel Draw) and then downloaded in the laser machine. Rayjet takes and turns the creative ideas and brings them to life.

About laser engraving is said that is a revolutionary instrument in the etching world. With Rayjet CO2 laser, it is possible to engrave text, logos and even photos on a wide range of materials. Focused laser beam removes the material from the work piece’s surface in a precise and controlled manner. Rayjet laser machine can be used for various materials: for engraving, marking or cutting.

The most significant advantage of laser engraving technology is a non-contact process. Work piece must not be caught in the process, just positioned right. Laser tube is protected within a locked compartment that ensures total security during engraving. If the lid is opened, the laser will not start. In contrast to mechanical engraving devices here there are no parts to nip the roll, so is extremely safe. Laser processing is fun and easy to control. This is accessible even for amateurs. In a short time even an inexperienced user becomes a specialist.
