Mixed machines handle both but are limited in metal thickness. Match the machine type and power to your materials.
- Laser Power: Higher wattage means faster cuts and the ability to cut thicker materials. For example, 150W CO2 can cut thick acrylic, while 3000W fiber can handle moderate-thickness metals. Don’t overpay for power you won’t use—but don’t go underpowered either.
- Bed Size and Work Area: Choose a machine with a bed large enough to fit your typical workpieces. A bigger bed means more flexibility, but takes up more space and increases cost. Also, check whether it supports pass-through for oversized materials.
- Budget and Total Cost: Look beyond the machine price. Factor in installation, training, maintenance, replacement parts (like lenses or tubes), gas supply (for metal cutting), software licenses, and energy consumption. Buying too cheaply can lead to limited performance and more repairs.
- Software and Compatibility: Make sure the machine includes or supports software that’s compatible with your design workflow (like CorelDRAW, AutoCAD, or LightBurn). Easy-to-use software can speed up production and reduce mistakes.
- Maintenance and Support: Ask about the maintenance requirements and what support the manufacturer or reseller provides. A good supplier should offer training, tech support, and quick parts replacement. Fiber lasers require less frequent maintenance than CO2 systems, but both need care.
- Safety Features: Check for safety options like protective enclosures, emergency stop buttons, fume extraction, and laser-rated viewing windows. Cutting materials like plastics or metals can release harmful fumes, so proper ventilation is a must.
- Space and Power Requirements: Make sure your workspace can handle the machine’s size, weight, ventilation needs, and electrical load. Some machines require 3-phase power and dedicated cooling systems.
- Intended Use and Production Volume: For hobby use, a lower-cost machine might work fine. For business or industrial use, invest in something durable, reliable, and fast enough to meet demand without constant downtime.
- Reputation and Reviews: Research the brand, read user reviews, and ask other users in your industry. A proven track record is a good indicator of reliability and post-sale support.
