It’s no secret that adding value to your already popular products is an effective way to generate more revenue for your business. It’s simple – the more you can offer your customers, the more you can charge them for your products and services. If you’re looking to add more value to the products you already offer with cutting-edge technology, (and have fun doing it!) a laser wood cutting machine, more specifically, an AP Lazer, will do just that.
In What Ways can a Laser Wood Cutting Machine Help Your Business?
1. Realize your creative vision for furniture pieces and take your business to new heights.
AP Lazer’s C02 laser wood cutting machines produce fast, precise, and clean cuts on a broad range of materials used in laser-cut furniture. Our machines can replicate laser-cut parts for furniture designs faster than manual or mechanical production methods. Use AP Lazer to meet the demand for your most popular furniture pieces and increase your business revenue.
2. Enjoy Precision and Speed in Furniture Assembly
Our laser wood cutting machines use C02 gas and electricity to generate powerful laser beams that can cut cleanly through most kinds of materials. This gives you a wide array of materials to incorporate into your laser-cut furniture, such as wood, acrylic, textiles, MDF, leather, and more. Thanks to CNC technology, which uses computer software to automate the movements and calibrations of the laser cutter, our machines can cut components in the exact sizes and dimensions necessary for furniture assembly. Fast, precise, and clean cuts with minimal wastage — enjoy these with AP Lazer.
3. Design, Innovate and Explore
Flex your creative muscles and grow your furniture business. Use AP Lazer technology to amplify your talent and creativity in making furniture. Our machines are open architecture, which means you can upgrade and add new features that will further expand your capability to design and produce laser-cut furniture. Flexible and top-removable, these machines can work on massive parts just as efficiently as smaller components.
4. Use the AP Lazer machine to add value to your products and to your custom engraving business
Our CNC laser wood cutting machines are configurable to engrave wood surfaces and cut through wood materials — cleanly, quickly, and precisely. For the price of one machine, you can engrave, cut, etch, and mark on wood and many other materials. Use an AP Lazer to create unique, one-of-a-kind wood products for your customers.
5. Wood engraving and cutting are some of the most popular applications for our laser machines
Size is no object with our patented open architecture design that will allow you to engrave nearly any size or weight of the material. Large furniture and other bulky materials can easily be engraved by utilizing our removable laser top. Our laser machines are so versatile you can use them to engrave directly on wood flooring or other wood surfaces.
As you can imagine, larger engravings and wood-cut items mean more substantial profits for your business. And with AP Lazer machines, you can offer services to your customers that your competitors aren’t able to fulfill. Our laser wood cutting machines can engrave logos, photos, decorations, intricate inlays, and other customized artwork allowing you to add priceless value through personalization of your wooden products. Our wood laser engraving machine will complement your existing machinery. Increase your ROI on an easy-to-learn and use, low operating cost machine.
Types of Wood You Can Use with Your Laser Wood Cutting Machine
Wood is the perfect material to engrave on and cut because it has so many functional uses. All types of wood including pine, oak, mahogany, maple, and other exotic hardwoods can be laser engraved and cut. With a reputation for our powerful and impressive production performance, AP Lazer cutting and engraving machines can work on all types of wood products. The only question is, how do you choose the best wood to work with?
Check the resin content
Wood typically burns lighter or darker, depending on the resin or sap content. If you want a darker burn, opt for wood that has high resin content like Cherry or Alder wood. If you’re looking to leave a minimal burn for a specific application, you’ll want to go for wood with lower resin content.
Opt for a lighter wood
Darker wood usually obscures the laser etching marks, making engraved photos or text difficult to see or recognize. Lighter wood, in contrast, develops a dark and deep burn when etched, giving you well-defined marks for optimal visibility.
Choose wood with minimal streaking
Wood stripping can quickly rob the engraving of any detail and become a distraction for engraved photos or any kind of wood project. When shopping for wood to laser engrave, choose one that has minimal streaks and a smooth, consistent grain.
Pick the best wood species
There are many wood species available for laser engraving or cutting, though, we recommend working with the following types of wood:
- Alder – This wood features a light color, has a supple texture, and has minimal streaking.
- Cherry – A blonde cherry wood has a high resin content and is typically light in color.
- Maple – This wood has light streaking, burns dark most of the time, and is light in color.
Application Ideas
Since all wood species have their own unique qualities, each type will produce a different yet beautiful outcome that can only be achieved with a laser wood cutting machine by AP Lazer. Some examples include the following:
- Kitchen cabinet doors
- Hardwood floors
- Indoor and outdoor privacy screens
- Signage
- Home decor
- Cutting boards and beverage coasters
- So much more!
