Laser Marking Technologies, LLC has worked in the laser marking industry for over two decades. Our wood laser engraving and etching machines offer detail and customization for various sectors. Our cutting-edge technology can enhance your projects with durable and intricate designs, setting a new standard in both industrial and creative applications.
Wood marking is the process of using laser beams to add designs onto a wooden surface. Wood laser engraving and etching are among the most versatile applications of laser technology. Using a focused laser beam to vaporize the surface of wood materials, these techniques create a recessed, textured surface.
The depth of the markings can be adjusted to produce stunning 3D effects, making etching and engraving perfect for intricate designs and detailed artwork. These methods offer a unique blend of precision and artistry for various applications.
Wood laser engraving uses a focused laser beam to etch designs into wood. The wood is placed onto an engraving bed and secured, while the laser machine settings — such as power, speed and frequency — are adjusted based on the wood type and desired engraving depth. During the process, a CO2 laser burns away the wood’s surface, following the design path precisely.
Afterward, any residue or soot is cleaned off, and additional finishes like varnish may be applied to enhance the final look. This technique allows for high precision and detailed designs.
Wood laser engraving lends itself well to applications like:
Unlike traditional fiber lasers, CO2-based wood laser engraving machines have less fire hazard potential and produce cleaner results. Other process advantages include:
The laser follows a path defined by vector graphics, creating precise designs with clean edges.
The laser moves back and forth across the wood surface, filling areas with dots. This mode is great for shading, creating grayscale images and texturing.
This mode uses both vector and raster for intricate designs with detailed outlines and filled areas.
This mode allows for stunning 3D effects on the wood surface by varying the depth of the engraving.
Wood laser engraving and etching are widely used across various industries for their precision and versatility:
