How it works

01/BED SIZE

Bear in mind material of this size will only just fit inside our laser cutter, with the laser able to cut around 1cm in from the largest dimension.

02/Cutting Width (Min)

This is the very minimum tolerance that is theoretically achievable. In reality, the focus of the laser is imperfect, and you should plan for around 1mm width cutting.

03/Cutting Depth (Max)

Again this is the absolute maximum depth we can cut on most materials, and materials that are thinner than this will cut best.

Our Laser Cutter has a 1300mm x 900mm bed size and is capable of cutting and engraving pretty much anything up to 12mm thick, except metal. For cutting thicker materials, take a look at our CNC Machine.

How it works

Our machine, #VinylRichie, can produce large designs precision cut from vinyl that can be stuck onto a variety of surfaces. You can use vinyl for anything from producing stickers to large commercial signage.

VinylRichie has a 1200mm bed size and is capable of cutting any type of vinyl.
