CO2 Lasers 
Fiber Lasers
Polar Desktop
Ideal for engraving and cutting organic materials due to their infrared wavelength, CO2 lasers create flawless, detailed engravings on wood, leather, acrylic, plastic, stone, and other mediums. A glass tube full of mostly CO2, which interacts with electricity to produce the laser. CO2 lasers, like our desktop Polar CO2 laser engraver, are engineered for accessibility, versatility, and portability—making it one of the best laser engravers in the game. Its tiny yet mighty structure lets you transport the machine easily, simplifying on-the-go jobs. From 40W to 150W options, we have everything you need in terms of CO2 laser power!
Fiber lasers are adept at engraving metal or other robust materials in large production batches due to their high heat output. Whether you’re making custom silver jewelry or engraving tools made of iron and aluminum, fiber lasers are ideal for handling tough materials. To create these durable engravings, focused light travels through a fiber optic cable and melts and discolors the material’s surface. Fiber lasers can be used to create custom designs or even mark product parts for identification. OMTech’s fiber laser engraver series offers powerful performance and versatility, enhancing the strength and diversity of your engraving setup. With our 30-80W fiber laser machines, you can laser engrave a wider range of materials your way!
For beginners, Polar Desktop laser engravers are a good choice. They use semiconductor materials to generate focused beams for engraving and cutting various materials. While affordable, they have lower efficiency and productivity, and their open-air design offers less safety due to exposure to hazardous light and fumes.
