Cutting & Engraving Wood with Stepcraft CNC Laser

The effectiveness of laser cutting and engraving on wood significantly depends on the wood's inherent properties, including its type, hardness, moisture levels, and grain patterns. These elements are crucial in determining how well a laser interacts with the material. For instance, woods like balsa and high-quality plywood are particularly conducive to laser work because of their homogeneous nature. Especially notable is high-grade plywood, which is constructed with a balsa core and covered with layers of harder woods, providing a smooth, consistent surface ideal for laser operations. This composition allows for efficient and even laser cutting, attributed to the material's seamless texture. When using a laser for Stepcraft, consistency in the wood material is essential for achieving high-quality results.
