Plywood is one of optimal material decor. In addition to its performance qualities, it is easy to process. However, mechanical figure cutting does not always give the desired result. Therefore, plywood laser cutting machines were developed. This is innovative technology, allowing you to make complex three-dimensional drawings and patterns.
Plywood laser cutting technology
Point thermal effect on decorative natural material partially destroys it. This occurs due to the formation of plasma, similar to arc welding. However, the plywood does not melt, but burns out.
The main component of the machine is the laser installation. It generates concentrated radiation that affects the material. For this purpose, CO2 lasers are used. Semiconductor models do not have sufficient power and can only be used for artistic burning.
The procedure for performing shaped laser cutting of plywood.
- Creating a drawing. Depending on the capabilities of the equipment, this can be done in in electronic format or apply a pattern to the surface yourself.
- Selecting cutting mode. The determining parameter is the laser power. It depends on the thickness and structure of the plywood. If the degree of heating is exceeded, the width of the cut will increase.
- Formation of the drawing. Its speed is affected by the laser power. The higher it is, the faster the process is performed. However, this increases the area of darkening at the edges.
This general description technology, which can be changed depending on the parameters and functionality of the equipment. The average laser power is about 20 W. It directly depends on the thickness of the plywood and the complexity of the pattern.
For work, it is best to use automated CNC wood processing centers. This will increase accuracy and improve productivity.
Features of cutting plywood with a laser
The main disadvantage of this type of equipment is its high cost. A number of advantages that are not possible for machining, make laser wood centers very popular. They are used to complete production and are used to perform small amounts of work at home.
The defining advantage of laser cutting is the thin seam on the wood. It may be slightly larger than the beam diameter. This way, maximum detail is achieved and the result matches the original layout exactly.
This technology has the following features:
- A slight darkening appears in the area affected by the beam. This is inevitable, but can be mitigated by painting or varnishing;
- no mechanical effort is required for cutting. The process does not involve surface deformation, which is typical for classical processing methods;
- The quality of work is affected by the composition of the wood. It is not recommended to use sheets made from coniferous species. They contain a large amount of resins, which, when evaporated, affect the appearance.
For large production volumes, it is necessary to provide a vapor extraction system. This is done using local ventilation. The absence of chips significantly softens the requirements for working conditions when cutting plywood with a laser machine.
The surface of the processed material is first cleaned of dust and dirt. The presence of varnish, paint or similar decorative and protective compounds is not allowed.
List of cutting equipment
To complete a professional production line, it is recommended to purchase specialized equipment. But in addition to the laser installation, it must contain other components.
To ensure maximum automation of work, the laser head must move freely along the length and width wooden surface. To do this, install a special carriage that moves along guides.
In addition to this for normal operation The following components are required:
- block electronic control. It controls the operation of the laser, gives commands for its movement relative to the sheet;
- combustion products exhaust system. Despite them a small amount of without forced ventilation the concentration of harmful substances will quickly increase;
- interface for entering information - drawing, machine operating modes, etc.
To perform a small amount of work, it will not be practical to purchase expensive equipment. The best option- use the services of specialized manufacturing companies. In this case, you only need to correctly draw up the design and select the material on which it will be applied.
In the video you can see an example of how the machine works to form a pattern on the surface of a plywood sheet:
Review of ready-made machine models

Let's look at machines from different price categories.
There are several options for cutting wood or plywood. Traditional - manual method processing is very complex and time-consuming; cutting using electrical equipment is more advanced. However, the fastest and most technologically high-quality method is the method of laser cutting of wood. We will talk about the features of its implementation further.
Laser cutting of plywood: features and advantages
Despite the fact that laser cutting has appeared recently, this method of wood processing is gaining increasing popularity. If we compare wood processing using manual or electric jigsaw and laser, the following advantages of laser processing should be highlighted:
- speed of cutting work;
- possibility of manufacturing products with high level uniqueness and aesthetic appeal;
- low cost of work performed by professionals;
- high accuracy of work;
- the minimum cutting width that the laser can create is 0.01 mm;
- the ability to create various types of drawings and engravings;
- multifunctionality of equipment.
Despite the cost of the equipment used to cut wood or plywood, this processing method is gaining great popularity.
The operating principle of a laser machine is that a high-energy beam acts on plywood, cutting it. Thus, material processing is non-contact. At the point where the beam comes into contact with the wood, the temperature rises and therefore the material begins to evaporate.
By performing laser cutting of sanded wood or plywood, it is possible to obtain perfectly smooth edges. This advantage This is especially true if you cut out small openwork details. However, the edges of the wooden surface become dark shade, since they are charred under the influence of a laser. For compensation this deficiency, some of the laser machines have a blowing system and ventilation system that gets rid of combustion products.
In order to receive laser radiation, a tube of gas and a mixture containing nitrogen, helium and carbon dioxide is used. In the process of applying voltage, monochrome radiation is initiated, which is directed by mirrors to the surface in need of processing. Optimal value The power for the laser used to cut plywood is at least twenty watts, although there are devices with lower power.
In addition, laser wood cutting technology is different high accuracy given pattern. In order for the edges to be smooth and clearly correspond to the specified parameters, it is enough to install a certain program. Compared to using a jigsaw, the cutting process is very quick and easy, without an app manual labor. Due to the small beam size and the presence of numerical programs, cutting with a laser takes several minutes.
Due to the fact that special numerical control programs are installed on the machines, the cutting process only involves drawing up a sketch. Such machines allow you to perform laser cutting very quickly and efficiently.
Equipment for laser cutting of plywood and features of its application
There are machines that have numerical control programs and those that do not. In addition, there are additional details, which simplify the work with the equipment and improve its versatility. These details include:
1. Chillers - devices that cool the laser tube. During the process of cutting wood, a tube made of glass in which the gas is located quickly heats up. In order to cool this piece of equipment, a second shell is applied to the pipe, through which liquid constantly circulates, thereby cooling gas pipe. The chiller contains elements in the form of a water pump, freon, and water.
Please note that the cost of this element is more than $500. Therefore, in homemade laser machines, ordinary water and a pump pumping it are used to cool the tube. However, in order to ensure high-quality cooling, more than one hundred liters of water will be required.
2. Systems with the help of which combustion products are blown and drawn out. In order to cool the workpiece and get rid of the elements formed during its evaporation, these systems are used. Otherwise, the wood may burn.
In addition, the focusing lens also needs constant cooling. Its cooling elements are basic and are present in all machines.
Do-it-yourself laser cutting machine for plywood
Since equipment for laser cutting of wood is prohibitively expensive, an option is possible self-made machine This process is highly complex, since certain parts cannot be made at home.
When manufacturing laser cutting equipment, pay attention to the following features:
- determine the power of the laser installation: to manufacture the device, you should use highly powerful equipment, the cost of which is quite high, so the total cost of this device will cost at least $600;
- cooling and feeding systems: as mentioned earlier, to cool the gas moving through the tube you will need water, at least one hundred liters and a pump that will pump it;
- Next, you should clearly adjust all the components of the laser installation; this process will require considerable experience and a lot of time, so it is much easier to buy a laser machine than to make it yourself.
Cutting plywood with a laser is very complex process, however, as a result of its implementation, surprisingly attractive things are obtained.
Do-it-yourself laser cutting of plywood
In order to perform laser cutting of plywood with your own hands, you will first of all need special equipment. Using a laser, designs and patterns of different structures are applied to plywood. Plywood is an ideal material for creating various kinds of things.
The laser cutting process is quite complex and labor-intensive. This is primarily due to the need to create digital or conventional sketches. When choosing plywood, you should make sure that there are no deformed areas, chips, cracks, deformations, delaminated areas, or resin leaks.
To perform laser cutting of plywood, both manual and automated equipment is used. Lasers are non-contact wood processing. Since cutting is carried out using a point light beam. Thus, during the processing of plywood there is no dust, shavings or other waste.
Laser cutting of wood price depends on the complexity of the work and the material on which the cutting is carried out. In order to perform laser cutting without laser equipment, you should contact specialized organizations that have such equipment. Professionals will help you create digital drawings, and the cutting process will be fast and of high quality.
In order to determine the price of work for laser cutting of plywood, first of all take into account the thickness of the material on which cutting is carried out. From given value The power of the laser beam that is reproduced on the machine also depends.

In order to cut plywood with a laser, it is recommended to use FK grade raw materials. Since urea-based resin is used for gluing this type of raw material. These resins are less heat-resistant, so the cutting process is faster and costs are reduced.
Do-it-yourself laser cutting of wood
When choosing a machine for laser cutting of wood, you should consider the following equipment features:
- accuracy indicators: since the laser cutting process must be precise, the equipment for its implementation must be such as to ensure a minimum cut thickness of 0.01 mm, only in this case it will be possible to obtain high-quality parts with complex shape, various textural elements;
- the high level of productivity of the equipment with which cutting is carried out guarantees the quality of work; the higher the cutting speed, the more material the machine is able to process over a certain period of time, in addition, high performance allows you to save energy resources used by the machine;
- economic properties of electricity consumption and consumption of materials for cutting, the higher the engine power, the faster the machine operates;
- versatility of use, some of the machines are capable of not only cutting elements of various shapes, but also applying engraving and creating relief pictures.
Laser cutting of wood involves the use of high-quality equipment. Only in this case it is possible to achieve good result. In addition, there are universal devices that allow you to cut metal, wood, and plastic surfaces.
Despite the large number of advantages of laser cutting of wood, it has certain features that should be taken into account:
- obtaining very even ends, however, their color will be slightly darker than the main color of the wood, since the wood is exposed to high temperature;
- Laser cutting is carried out only if the thickness of the material being processed is no more than two centimeters.
Laser cutting of plywood, equipment design must be selected taking into account all the individual characteristics of production. When choosing a laser cutting machine, it is better to give preference well-known companies, reviews of which are positive. Since dubious companies may offer short-lived, albeit cheap equipment.
Most often, there are many equipment options based on its power. The type and performance of the machine depends on the characteristics of the material it will process. In addition, you should pay attention to the size work surface, it must be such as to accommodate the largest sheet of material that can be processed.
It would be useful to have a function that adjusts the working surface in relation to height. High-quality steel must be used for the manufacture of corner sections and load-bearing structural parts of the machine. In addition, the movements of all moving parts must be smooth and rhythmic.
Familiarize yourself with the technical parameters of the device and pay attention to the manufacturer’s warranty. It must be at least two years. In addition, if the machine has software, but it should be simple and accessible, in a language you understand.
Before starting to work with the equipment, read the instructions for its use. It is best to entrust the first startup of the device to a specialist who has experience working with such equipment.
The process of cutting wood using laser machines consists of the following stages:
- making a two- or three-dimensional model using a computer program;
- entering all data into a computer, calculating it independently required parameters, making corrections, if necessary;
- fixing a workpiece of a certain size, turning on the laser machine.
Please note that the liquid that cools the tube must be checked periodically, as it can evaporate under high temperatures.

The only thing better than laser cutting is hand carving on wood, but a hand-carved product will cost much more than one obtained after processing with a laser beam. Moreover, the production time for products using a laser will be much shorter compared to the long and painstaking process of cutting by hand.
Laser cutting is considered one of the most effective ways impact on absolutely any materials. High speed impact and maximum precision of all cut lines attracts many customers. Products obtained by processing on a milling machine cannot be compared in quality to those created using laser cutting.
Laser cutting of plywood, the price and completion time of which can only delight, is a solution for many actual problem urgency of implementation. When a project is on fire, the only thing the right decision there will be an appeal to the laser machine.
Professionalism comes first
It is known that a laser can affect any surface, but each material has its own subtleties. Only a professional equipment adjuster will be able to select the optimal impact force and set the desired operating modes of the beam. There are often cases of damage to the source material due to the fault of an unqualified employee, therefore, to create products using laser cutting, you need to contact a trusted company that has good recommendations in the service market.
Process nuances
Laser cutting of plywood, in terms of efficiency, repeats cutting and, however, has a number of significant features and subtleties, as well as in business.
Plywood is considered the most capricious material for this type of processing, but carved wood products also look very elegant and beautiful. The fact is that different types of wood require different powers of the laser beam and, in addition, in solid plywood there are often knots that are much denser than the main layer; they can provoke the so-called “undercut”. Only an experienced specialist will be able to take into account all the nuances and minimize the risk of damage to expensive material.
When cutting plywood with a laser, the working surface may catch fire or the edge of the cut may become charred, which means it will darken. To avoid this, you need to constantly monitor the intensity of the cooling air supply. You can’t do this with just one automated process—you need the constant presence of an experienced installer.
All of the above difficulties determine the fact that laser cutting of plywood is the most complex method of processing the material.
Application of plywood products
The scope of application of cut plywood products is very wide, because wooden objects have always been famous for their natural beauty. Products carved from wood are often used for interior decoration premises and landscape decoration of personal plots. A variety of panels, furniture elements, floor and wall decorations– wherever the designer’s eye was directed, you can see plywood decor. Also, carved wood products are used as souvenirs: various stands, diplomas, frames, and so on.
Advantages over other methods of influence:
- clarity and evenness of the cut, which will not need to be sanded after processing;
- high cutting speed compared to other methods of influence;
- the ability to obtain a wide variety of shapes and lines, the thickness of the resulting elements will be minimal;
- Laser cutting of plywood, the price of which will please any customer, will allow you to create a product of any complexity, and its cost will not change.
Laser cutting of plywood to order allows you to produce high-quality and exclusive decorative items, souvenirs, patterns, furniture elements, photo frames and picture frames, collapsible structures, for example, in the form of airplane models, signs, children's construction sets, napkin holders, lampshades, cutting boards and much more. To perform such tasks, we have at our disposal equipment capable of cutting large parts from thick plywood up to 20 mm thick. One of the benefits of cutting plywood with a laser is the ability to make small sharp corners. Unlike a cutter, the laser beam has virtually no radius, so cutting is more accurate. And in the end – significantly cheaper and faster.
