Materials We Work With

We work with a wide range of laser-safe materials for cutting and engraving. You are welcome to provide your own laser-safe material to cut costs. Not sure if your material is safe? Ask us before you ship.

What We Engrave

We can engrave on Coated and Anodized Metal (surface marking only), Glass (surface etching only), and Stone, Marble, and Slate (surface etching only). Engraving is surface-level only — we do not cut through these materials.

What We Do Not Cut

For safety reasons, we cannot process the following materials: PVC and Vinyl (releases toxic chlorine gas), Polycarbonate and Lexan (burns, produces toxic fumes), ABS Plastic (toxic fumes), MDF (toxic glue binder fumes), Delrin and Acetal (toxic fumes), Linoleum (toxic fumes), Bare Metal (CO2 laser cannot cut metal), Fiberglass (toxic fumes), Carbon Fiber (toxic fumes), Polystyrene and Styrofoam (melts, fire risk), HDPE and Polypropylene (melts, will not cut cleanly).
