Laser cutters use a high-powered CO2 laser beam to cut through or engrave MDF. The laser vaporizes the material along the cutting path, resulting in smooth edges with minimal charring. Engraving MDF works similarly, as the laser etches into the surface to create text, patterns, or images. By adjusting the laser power and speed, you can achieve different depths and effects for various applications.
1. Design your artwork
2. Prepare the MDF
3. Set up & Start the machine
4. Finish the project
Design Your Artwork: Use vector-based software such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW to create your cutting or engraving design.
Prepare the MDF Sheet: Place the MDF securely on the laser bed to ensure stability during cutting. Using an air assist system can help reduce charring.
Set Up & Start the Machine: Adjust the laser settings based on the MDF thickness. A higher power setting is typically needed for deeper cuts, while lower power settings work best for engraving. Start the laser process and monitor the progress.
Finish the Project: Once the cutting or engraving is complete, remove the MDF piece and clean off any residue. Light sanding may be applied to refine edges if necessary.
