Laser engraving is the fastest path from a graphic to a permanent mark on virtually any material - from wood and leather to steel and silver. At AEJaCA sTuDiO, we run two laser types, each with its own superpower.
CO2 laser vs fiber laser - the difference
| CO2 Laser | Fiber Laser (Raycus 30W) | |
|---|---|---|
| Materials | Organic: wood, leather, acrylic, paper, fabric, glass | Metals: steel, aluminum, copper, brass, titanium, silver, gold + ceramics, stone |
| Engraving | Yes (burning / discoloring) | Yes (marking, annealing, deep etching) |
| Cutting | Yes - wood to 10 mm, acrylic to 15 mm | Thin metals to 1–2 mm |
| Precision | ~0.1 mm | ~0.02 mm |
| Best for | Signs, boxes, décor, leather goods | Jewelry, tools, nameplates, electronics |
In short: CO2 = organic materials + cutting. Fiber = metals + extreme detail. AEJaCA sTuDiO has both.
What materials can you engrave?
CO2: wood, plywood, acrylic, leather, paper, cardboard, fabric, glass (surface only).
Fiber: stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, silver, gold, titanium (rainbow annealing!), ceramics, stone.
Engraving vs cutting
Engraving removes a thin layer of surface material - creating text, images, or patterns. Depth: 0.01–2 mm. Cutting goes all the way through. CO2 cuts wood up to ~10 mm, acrylic up to ~15 mm. Fiber cuts thin sheet metal up to 1–2 mm.
