There are many advantages of using CO₂ lasers in industrial settings, including:

• Versatility – CO₂ lasers can perform a broad range of processing operations
• High Precision – theseCO₂ lasers deliver micrometer level precision
  Consistency – CO₂ lasers are digitally controlled and deliver repeatable results
• Efficient – CO₂ lasers minimize downtime and waste to improve productivity
• Zero-Touch – CO₂ lasers enable the processing of sensitive materials
• Extreme Detail – this type of CO₂ lasers can create

CO₂ laser technology is used in the manufacture of a wide range of products and parts, including:

• Packaging, both flexible and rigid
• Automotive and EV parts, including lithium-ion batteries
• Aerospace components
• Electronic devices
• Micro components
• Fashion and textiles
• Solar cell components
• Architectural glass and glass products
• Wood products
• Electric motor components
• 3D printed polymer products
• Fractional skin resurfacing devices
• Dental procedures and devices
• Pharmaceuticals
• Wire and cable
• Person

There are several key differences between CO₂ lasers and fiber lasers, including:

• CO₂ lasers use a gas mixture and an electrical discharge to generate the laser beam, while fiber lasers use an optical fiber with rare-earth elements and a laser diode pump source.
• All lasers generate a beam at a specific wavelength;, fiber lasers generate lasers at wavelengths from 780 nm to 2200 nm, while CO2 lasers generate lasers at wavelengths from 9.3 µm to 10.6 µm.
• CO2 lasers have a longer wavelength and are better suited for processing materials like wood, plastics, paper, rubber, fabrics, leather, some composites, and nonferrous metals.

The cost of CO₂ lasers will vary depending on your exact requirements, with our prices starting at ~$3,400, with discounts for volume orders. Once installed, CO₂ laser systems can be a cost-effective choice, as there are no additional costs for consumables, while minimal maintenance and manual intervention is required, keeping labor costs low.
