The laser carving machine has different requirements and technical methods for carving different woods. Here are four technical points of laser cutting machine for wood.
1. Plywood
Sometimes customers may ask you to carve on plywood. In fact, this is almost like carving on wood. Just pay attention that the depth of carving cannot be too deep. The adhesive rear edge cut by the laser engraving machine will also be black like wood. The key is to see what kind of wood plywood is made of.

2. Log (log)
Wood is the most commonly used laser processing material for laser engraving machines, and is easy to carve and cut. Light colored wood, such as birch, cherry or maple, can be evaporated by laser carving machine, so it is more suitable for carving. As we all know, each kind of wood has its own characteristics, some of which are dense, such as hardwood, which requires a laser engraving machine with greater laser power to carve or cut. Therefore, it is recommended to study the carving characteristics before carving unfamiliar wood.

3. Coloring
After carving wood with a laser engraving machine, there is usually a feeling of burning. The matching wood color has the original artistic beauty. The depth of the color mainly depends on the laser power and the engraving speed of the laser engraving machine. But for some usually soft wood, no matter how you carve it, you can't change its color like birch. Sometimes the customer may ask you to color the finished product. You can use acrylic paint to achieve the color the customer wants to carve.

4. Wood cutting
The depth of wood cutting by laser cutting machine is generally not deep, within 5mm. Because the laser power of laser engraving machine is very small, if we cut at a slow speed, wood will burn. For specific operations, try using a large lens and repeat.
