The following are the most common materials for Aeon CO2 laser engraving and cutting Machine:
Acrylic
Acrylic also called Organic Glass or PMMA, all the cast and extruded acrylic sheets can be processed with amazing results by Aeon Laser. Since Laser cutting Acrylic by high temperature laser beam rapidly heat up and vaporize it in the path of the laser beam, thus cutting edge is left with a fire polished finish,resulting in smooth and straight edges with minimal heat affected zone, reducing the need for a post-process after machining ( Acrylic sheet cut by CNC router usually need to use flame polisher to polish it to make the cutting edge smooth and transparent) Thus Laser machine is perfect for acrylic cutting.
For acrylic engraving, laser machine also have it’s advantage, Laser engraving Acrylic with small dots by high frequency of turn on and off laser beam, thus it can reach high resolution especially for photo engraving. Aeon Laser Mira series with high engraving speed max.1200mm/s, for those who want to reach higher resolution, we have RF metal tube for your option.
Application of Acrylic sheets after engraving and cutting:
1.Advertising applications:
.Acrylic Light boxes
.LGP(light guide plate)
.Signboards
.Signs
.Architecture model
.Cosmetic display stand/box
2.Decoration&Gift applications:

Woods / MDF/Bamboo
Since CO2 laser processing material with high temperature beam melting or oxidizing it, to reach the cutting or engraving effect. Wood is a wonderfully versatile material and is easily processed with a laser,Aeon CO2 laser engraving and cutting machine are more than capable of processing wooden objects of different sizes and densities as well. The laser cutting on wood and wood products leaves a charred cut edge but a very small kerf width, which can provide operators a limitless supply of possibilities. Laser engraving on wood products usually with dark or light brown effect depend on it’s power rate&speed, the engraving color also affected by material itself and air blow.
Application for Laser engraving and cutting on Wood/MDF:
Jigsaw puzzle
Architecture model
Wooden toy model kit
Craft work
Awards and souvenirs
Interior Design Creatives
Bamboo and wood article (Fruit Tray/Chopping board/chopsticks) logo engraving
Christmas decorations

Leather/PU:
Leather is commonly used on fashion(shoes,bag,clothes etc.) and furniture products, it’s also a wonderful material for CO2 laser cutting and engraving, Aeon Laser Mira and Nova series can both engrave and cut genuine leather and PU. With a light brown color engraving effect and dark brown/black color on cutting edge, select a light colored leather such as white, light beige, tan, or light brown will help you to get a good contrast engraving result.
Application:
Shoe making
Leather Bags
Leather Furniture
Apparel accessory
Gift & Souvenir
abric/Felt:
Laser processing fabrics have it’s unique advantages.CO2 laser wavelength can be well absorbed by most organic materials especially fabric. By adjusting the laser power and speed settings you can manipulate how you want laser beam to interact with each material to achieve that unique effect you're looking for. Most fabrics vaporize quickly when cut with a laser, resulting in clean, smooth edges with minimal heat affected zone.
Since laser beam itself is with high temperature, laser cutting also seals the edges, preventing the fabric from unraveling, this is also a big advantage of laser cutting on fabric compare with traditional way of cutting by Physical contact, especially when the fabric is easy to got raw edge after cut such as chiffon,silk.
CO2 Laser engraving or marking on fabric also can have amazing result which other processing method can’t reach, the laser beam slightly melt the surface with fabrics, leaving a deeper color engraving part, you can control the power and speed to reach different result.
Application:
Toys
Jeans
Clothes hollow out&Engraving
Decorations
Cup mat
Paper:
CO2 laser wavelength can be well absorbed by paper as well. Laser cutting of paper results in a clean cutting edge with minimal discoloration, Laser engraving of paper will produce an indelible surface mark with no depth ,engraving color can be black,brown, light brown depend on different paper’s density, less density means more oxidized and with darker color, the lighter or darker color also depends on the material processed(power,speed,air blow..)
Paper based material such as bond paper, construction paper, cardboard, coated paper,copy paper, all can be engrave and cut by CO2 laser.
Application:
Wedding Card
Toy model kit
Jigsaw
3D Birthday Card
Christmas Card
Rubber(Rubber stamps):
Aeon Laser Mira series high speed engraving machine offers a much more efficient and precise solution for stamp making. Creating personal or professional rubber stamps are ideal for duplicating messages or designs.
A good quality laserable stamp rubber will give a better quality engraving result with clean finishing and clear print small characters--bad quality rubber usually easy to crack when engraving small letters or tiny intricate patterns.
Aeon Mira series Desktop engraver with 30w and 40w tube is perfect for stamp making, we also offer special working table and rotary for stamp making,please contact us for more special requests or tips for stamp making.
Application:
Stamp making
Erasers stamp
Professional marks&logos
Innovative art work
Gift making
Glass:
Due to glass’s high density, Co2 laser is can’t cut through it, it only can engraving on the surface with almost no depth,engraving on glass usually with a beautiful and sophisticated look,more like Matte effects. Laser machines are ideal for creating beautifully clean engraved glass designs because they're less expensive, more effective, and offer more space for customized ideas.
Higher quality of glass with higher purity usually with better engraving effect.
Many glass objects are cylindrical,such as bottles,cups, with a rotary attachment, you can engrave glass bottles,cups perfectly. This is an optional parts provide by Aeon Laser, and will enable the machine to precisely rotate the glassware as the laser engraves your design.
Application for Glass engraving:
- Wine Bottle
- Glass door/window
- Glass Cups or Mugs
- Champagne flutes
- Glass plaques or frames
- Glass plates
- Vases, jars, and bottles
- Christmas ornaments
- Personalized glass gifts
- Glass awards,trophies
Marble/Granite/Jade/Gemstones
Due to it’s high density, Marble, Granite and Stone can only be engraved by Laser, Laser processing of stone can be performed with a 9.3 or 10.6 micron CO2 laser. Most stones can also be processed with a fiber laser. Aeon laser can engrave both letters and photos,laser engraving of stone is achieved similarly to laser marking, but results in added depth. Dark color stones with uniform density usually with better engraving result with more contrast details.
Application(Engraving only):
Tombstone
Gifts
Souvenir
Jewelry design
ABS double color sheet:
ABS double color sheet is a common advertising material, it can process with both CNC router and Laser machine (both CO2 and Fiber Laser can work on it).ABS with 2 layers--background ABS color and surface painting color, laser engraving on it usually remove the surface painting color to show the back ground color, since Laser machine with higher processing speed and more processing possibilities (CNC router can’t engrave photos on it with high resolution while laser can do it perfectly), it’s a very popular laserable material.
Main application:
.Sign boards
.Brand Lable
