CNC Laser Cutting & Engraving

Precision cutting, engraving, and etching for a wide range of materials

At 865FabLab, our laser services deliver sharp, clean, high-definition cuts and engravings across materials such as acrylic, wood, plastics, rubber, and more. With multiple laser systems under our roof — including high-power 300 W and medium-power 150 W CO₂ units — we offer flexible capacity, speed, and precision to suit small jobs and large panels alike.

What We Offer

Vector cutting and outline profiling
Engraving and etching detailed artwork
Raster photo engraving
Kiss-cut, perforation, and selective marking
Registration-based print‑to‑cut alignment (for cut‑after-print workflows)
Multi-pass cutting for thicker materials
Nesting and layout optimization for efficient sheet usage

How It Works

Send us your artwork or cut file (or we can assist with preparation)
Select material and thickness — we’ll advise based on what your design requires
Approve a test cut or small example (for complex jobs)
We process via the appropriate laser unit (150 W or 300 W), applying multi-pass or advanced strategies if needed
Post-process finishing — clean up, detritus removal, edge polishing if needed
Pickup or ship — protected and packaged

Materials We Work With

Our laser systems can cut, engrave, or mark:

Acrylic (clear, colored, mirrored)
Wood, plywood, MDF, veneer
Plastics: ABS, PETG, HDPE, HIPS
Rubber, gasket materials, foam sheets
Paperboard, carton, cardboard
Leather, textiles, felt
Thin aluminum composite panels (ACM) — selective cutting / marking
Fiberboard, compact board, laminates

Laser System Capabilities & Specs

Here is what each class of laser system can handle:

Class / Power Approx. Work Area Typical Material Cutting Thickness Key Strengths High-power (300 W CO₂) ~4' × 8' (48" × 96") Acrylic up to ~25 mm, wood up to ~20 mm, plastics, rubber, foam board High throughput, deep cuts, ideal for thick panels Mid-power (150 W CO₂) ~60" × 40" or similar Acrylic, wood, plastics — thinner sections, fine detail High resolution engraving, thinner materials, cleaner cut edges

Ideal Use Cases

Decorative and architectural panels
Acrylic and plastic signage
Furniture accents and inlays
Custom display elements and branding components
Gaskets, templates, stencils
Prototyping parts with fine detail
Engraved branding on acrylic or wood surfaces

In-store branding and signage

Window displays and visual merchandising

Themed event signage or sculptural props

Photo booth backdrops or 3D logos

High-end dimensional branding for walls and fixtures

Displays for malls, airports, and showrooms

Other system features in our laser lineup include:

Precise linear guide rails and rigid frame design (for stability, accuracy, and repeatability)
Sealed CO₂ laser tubes operating at 10.6 µm wavelength
Automatic or assisted focusing heads (especially helpful on uneven surfaces)
Camera or optical registration systems for print‑to‑cut workflows and alignment
Multi-zone heating and multi-pass strategies for thicker or heat-sensitive materials
Support for a wide range of formats (DXF, AI, SVG, BMP, etc.)

These capabilities are comparable to the features offered in the Laguna SmartShop LCB line, which supports rigid frame builds, hi‑win rails, and compatibility with wood, acrylic, MDF, ABS, rubber, and more (Laguna Tools).
