Inventex Labs supports a wide range of materials for laser cutting. The choice of material depends on the application, desired properties, thickness, and aesthetic requirements.

Common Laser Cuttable Materials:

Metals:

• Mild Steel: Cost-effective, good for general applications.
• Stainless Steel: Excellent corrosion resistance, durable, aesthetic appeal.
• Aluminum: Lightweight, good corrosion resistance.
• Brass & Copper: Good for decorative or conductive applications (thinner gauges typically).

Plastics:

• Acrylic (PMMA): Wide range of colors, excellent clarity, smooth cut edges.
• Delrin® (POM): Good mechanical strength, low friction, excellent for engineering parts.
• PETG: Impact resistant, good clarity, often used for displays.
• Polycarbonate (PC): Very high impact strength (note: edge quality can vary).

Woods & Organics:

• Plywood & MDF: Commonly used for models, crafts, and decorative items.
• Hardwoods & Softwoods: For specific aesthetic or structural uses.
• Leather & Textiles: For fashion, upholstery, and custom accessories.
• Paper & Cardboard: For stencils, packaging prototypes, and crafts.

The suitability of a material for laser cutting also depends on its thickness and the specific laser technology used. Our platform will guide you through available options during the quoting process.
