What Do You Need To Confirm Before Buying A Co2 Or Fiber Laser Cutter?

When you want to buy a laser cutter,you may consider about price,the cutting ability and so on. Every one want to take one machine good enough and stable enough.

There are also 3 factors you need to consider:

1. The material you need to cut now and the material you may need to cut in 3 years time.

You may need a laser cutting machine for cutting acrylic now.But you may need to cut steel after 1 year. In this case, buy a co2 metal nonmetal laser cutter maybe your best choice. Because one lazer cutting machine normally can use 5-8 years. Another way, if you need to cut acrylic now but steel maybe after 1-2 years, you can buy one co2 nonmetal cutter and one fiber laser cutter after 1-2 years. In a word,think carefully about all materials you may need to cut when you are buying a machine.

2. Working size

lazer cutter engraver has different working sizes. The normal sizes are 900mm*600mm,1300mm*900mm,1300mm*2500mm,1500mm*3000 and other sizes. Maybe now, 1300mm*900mm is enough for you. But after 1-2 years, you may need to cut bigger materials.By the way, once you buy 1390,you can not change it to 1325 after one year. In a word,if your budget is enough, buy a machine as big as you can. Of course,you need a big enough factory to put big machines. A matter you need to know is that,smaller laser machine engraves better than bigger ones. So,if you need to engrave most, please choose a smaller machine. Big machines like 1325 is better in cutting, but it can also do middle precision engraving.

3. Laser power

Maybe you need to cut maximum 3mm steel this year. But you may need to cut 12mm after 2 years. Changing your laser cutter to a bigger power is almost impossible. In this case, buy a big enough power is very important.

Because big laser power machine can cut thin material at much faster speed. But big power is normally means more expensive, you have to think about your budget.

XD laser want to tell our good friends: when you want to buy a laser cutter, if it is within your budget,please try to buy big enough laser machine with big enough laser power. A multi function laser cutting machine is also the one you need to think about.
