Laser cutting machines by Epilog allow you to create intricate designs and highly detailed inlays with a low-cost, highly profitable tool.
Attached to your computer just like a printer, the system will cut designs you create in most graphic software programs. Set up your page size to the size of the piece you are engraving, create your image, and print it to the laser - it will even engrave the material with the same system!

The laser creates a beam of light that is used to cut through the material, so there is no part of the laser system in contact with the material.
For thinner materials, all Epilog laser systems include an Integrated Vacuum Table to hold down papers, fabrics, and thin plastics as you cut through the material.
It is amazingly precise, following the pattern you've drawn on screen.
Cut several patterns from the same piece of material.
You can print to the laser from a variety of programs, including CorelDRAW, AutoCAD and Adobe software.
What is the price of a laser system?
What does a laser system cost? Systems start as low as $9,995 for a Mini 18, 25 watt system*. From there, pricing is based on the size of the engraving area and the wattage of the laser tube.

Image to Cutting in 3 Easy Steps
1)
In graphic software, draw or import your shape to be cut. In this example, we are cutting an intricate gate out of 1/8" alder.
The laser system will engrave and cut with the one system, so to let the laser know that the lines we have on screen are to be cut out, we set them to .001". The laser reads all lines below .001" as lines to be cut.
2)
Place your sheet of wood on the table and print the image to the laser. The system is hooked up to your computer just like a printer. Set a speed and power in the print driver for the material you are cutting, and send it to the laser.
The laser will automatically adjust to the correct height based on the thickness of the material you are cutting or engraving.
3)
The final product is an intricately cut set of 4" tall gates. As you can see, the laser does a beautiful job with the scroll work and fine detailing. You can use clipart, logos, AutoCAD files, and most other graphic files.
Create wooden photo frames, plaques, inlays, and much more - the opportunities are endless! And the same laser system will also engrave and cut acrylic, plastic, leather, rubber, and many more materials, as well as permanently marking metal.
What materials can I cut with a laser?
You can cut through wood, acrylic, plastic, delrin, cloth, leather, matte board, melamine, paper, mylar, pressboard, rubber, wood veneer, fiberglass, cork, corian, and many other materials! If you have a material you would like us to test, send it to our Laser Applications Lab and we'll see how it works with the laser.
