Laser Engraving Machines for wood
Laser engraving is an entirely non-contact process. You will not even need to affix the object to the production platform, saving on precious time during the manufacturing process. Since the material undergoes no stress, there is little chance of secondary warping or damage. Having no physical cutting or engraving parts also means a reduced requirement for regular parts replacement due to wear and tear. The lack of any moving parts with sharp edges also implies that laser engraving is an inherently safer process for human operators.
With the level of accuracy that laser engraving machines capable of, it can even work with wood sheets that are paper-thin and extremely delicate.

Laser engraving wood with a CO2 laser takes advantage of the extremely hig
h energy carried by the laser, which is essentially a concentrated beam of light. The energy from the laser heats the wood material rapidly, resulting in its almost instant vaporisation.
Since the energy of the laser is confined within its beam, the material surrounding the target areas remain unaffected and will show no visible scorches or burn marks.
The ability of a wood engraving machine to handle complex contours have allowed designers to make wooden parts with highly complex geometries. 3D puz
zles that are formed using an array of parts made from wooden sheets are a notable display of this ability.
