Laser Cutting for Artists in Los Angeles

Laser Cutting for Artists in Los Angeles – American Laser Cutter

Los Angeles is a city built on creativity—and at American Laser Cutter, we help artists turn bold ideas into precise, physical works. Our Downtown LA studio provides fast, professional laser cutting services tailored specifically for creative professionals, makers, and fine artists across LA.

From one-off pieces to short-run editions, we work closely with you to ensure your designs are cut clean, finished professionally, and delivered on time.

Supporting the Creative Process

Art doesn’t follow templates—and neither do we. Whether you’re developing a gallery piece, experimenting with new materials, or producing work for a show, we make the fabrication process smooth and flexible.

We regularly work with:

• Mixed-media artists exploring layering and dimensional forms

• Installation designers producing large-format cut elements

• Sculptors developing maquettes or repeating forms

• Printmakers creating stencils, plates, and templates

• Conceptual artists using paper, acrylic, wood, or leather

• Designers offering limited-edition product lines or merchandise

We take the time to understand your materials, your file setup, and your goals—then help you get from concept to cut without technical hassle.

Services Designed for Artists

We offer a range of services suited for creative workflows and unique materials:

• Custom Laser Cutting
  Cut vector paths from wood, acrylic, board, and more. Perfect for forms, stencils, layers, lettering, negative space, and modular work.

• Surface Scoring and Marking
  Create etched guide lines, light paths, or score lines for folding or layered work.

• Engraving and Raster Work
  Add detailed line art, illustrations, text, or patterns to your surfaces for added depth or texture.

• Artist-Friendly Rentals
  Experienced users can rent time on our laser cutter to test or run pieces directly. We’re here for support as needed.

  Whether it’s a one-off sculpture base or a batch of components, we handle small runs with care and speed.

Materials We Commonly Cut for Artists

We work with a wide variety of artist-preferred materials, including:

• Wood – Birch, basswood, walnut, and MDF used for frames, sculpture, and layered elements

• Acrylic – Clear, frosted, mirrored, and colored plastics for modern or abstract work

• Cardboard and Chipboard – Used for modeling, framing, or affordable testing

• Paperboard and Museum Board – Great for fine detail and presentation

• Leather and Faux Leather – Used in textile-integrated work, patches, and accessories
