Materials recommended for this machine
100W CO2 Laser Cutter (40" × 32")
A 100W CO2 laser with motorized autofocus and a full-size 40×32" (1000×800mm) bed for FRC panels and shop production. Front-and-rear pass-through feeds oversized stock, and autofocus dials in the focal height automatically for a good cut on the first try.
SWYFT Composite
SWYFT Composite is SRPP — a self-reinforced polypropylene that outperforms aluminum sheet in strength-to-weight ratio. Available in 1.75mm, 3mm, and 6mm (the 6mm adds a foam core). Cuts cleanly on our CO2 laser cutters.
