Since War of The Worlds we’ve been fascinated by lasers. What they are – How they work– How to tame them. GCC LaserPro and Jorlink know how.
LASER is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
In earlier discussions we’ve talked about how to choose the right laser for your business; how to get started once the laser is in place; even the differences between lasers and rotary engravers. So what about other options in laser engraving and cutting? For instance:
How does a CO2 laser engraver work?
A CO2 laser works by electrically stimulating the molecules of a carbon dioxide gas mixture. When this invisible but intensive beam is focused through a lens it can vaporize many materials. The speed and intensity of the C02 laser beam determines the wide variety of materials it is able to engrave or cut through.
