And the Ortur Laser Master 3 received almost all the likes. There are two types of laser cutting machines: single head and double head. This guide will help you choose the best laser cutter for your requirements.

Laser Engraving Cutting Machine Guide

1. Power

The power output of the machine will determine how much work this machine can put into cutting. Laser cutters with higher cutting power output are able to cut denser materials than alternative machines with lower cutting power. So depending on the material you're cutting, you should be able to choose a machine that matches the power you need. If you just want to engrave, then you can use LaserPecker 2 to create, if you cut a lot of material, then you can choose xTool D1 Pro.

2. Price

Under this factor, your budget will be the biggest influence. At HTPOW, we can customize your laser cutting machine according to your company's requirements, while providing you with the best products at low prices. The main thing you should consider is the workload of the laser cutter you are buying and how much you are willing to spend.

3. Quality

HTPOW offers the best quality laser machines at the best prices. It is a partner of many engraving machine brands. You should always strive to buy certified machines from legitimate companies like Ortur or HTPOW, and never buy counterfeit products.

4. Bed Size

Bed size refers to the XY size of the platform on which the material for cutting is placed. This factor is affected by the size of the material you are dealing with. E.g. The acrylic industry often requires a machine with a larger working area of ​​900 x 1300 mm to cut large acrylic sheets. Machines with larger bed sizes will have room to cut huge amounts of material at once. Different models of beds under the same category have different dimensions.

5. Cooling and Ventilation

Machines tend to get hot while in use due to excessive heat generated by the friction of electrical current and moving parts rubbing against each other. Therefore, it is important to purchase a laser cutter with a proper cooling system to counteract this heat. Otherwise, the work environment can become very uncomfortable. Keeping these factors in mind, all our machines are equipped with high-quality coolers that, when connected, provide a proper cooling system with low maintenance costs.

6. Software Requirements

The factor of software requirements is a huge factor, especially when it comes to cell systems used by machines. For example, some machines are programmed to work with SI units, so if you buy this machine and do field work in a BG unit, it will be busy. It would need to convert in every case, which would be tedious.

7. Footprint

This refers to the amount of space this machine will take up on the shop floor. Buying a large machine is not recommended when you only have a small space in your workshop. In this case, you should buy the small one. The best options can be discussed with our team.

8. Accessories

Some laser cutters will have additional features that will be a huge plus. For example, use a tool with a rotary tool when carving round objects, which makes it more useful than a tool with only a cutting plane function. Depending on the model, optional accessories required for optimum performance can be discussed.

9. Maintenance

Each machine is designed to improve efficiency and increase the amount of work done each time. Every machine requires proper maintenance to continue to function properly. Maintaining a laser cutter is easy with simple guidelines.

10. The benefits of laser cutting machine

Make sure you evaluate all benefits. In terms of productivity, the machine has a high cutting speed and is very efficient in terms of precision errors. The machine helps reduce power consumption and time. The machine is well designed and compact, making it easy to use. Laser cutters are automated, so they are easy to store, load and unload.
