Advantages of our 3-axis CO2 laser engravers

3-axis CO2 lasers represent a new generation of marking and engraving solutions, designed to combine speed, precision, and flexibility in the most demanding production environments.
Where 2-axis systems reach their limits, 3-axis dynamic optics ensure perfect beam homogeneity over large surfaces while allowing precise control of the focal depth.

These systems guarantee:
– fast and consistent marking, including in series thanks to the use of jigs,
– the ability to customize entire batches of parts or promotional items in a single pass,
– a uniform and durable rendering quality, even on irregular or slightly curved surfaces,
– great versatility of application: wood, wood derivatives, plastics, paper, technical textiles, glass, and other organic materials.

Combining productivity and reliability, 3-axis CO2 lasers offer industrial users the ability to save time, increase their output, and enhance their products with sharp, uniform, and durable marking.

3-axis galvanometric CO2 laser

3-axis CO2 lasers are high-precision marking and engraving systems built for industrial applications where flexibility and processing quality are critical.

Unlike standard 2-axis CO2 lasers, 3-axis technology uses dynamic optics to extend the working area while keeping the beam focused and consistent across the entire surface.

This design brings clear advantages: a larger marking area without any loss of sharpness, and dynamic focal control that allows marking on flat, angled, or slightly curved surfaces with uniform power and quality throughout.

These capabilities make 3-axis CO2 lasers particularly well suited for demanding applications involving plastics, paper, technical textiles, glass, and organic materials.

How does a 3-axis CO2 laser work?

The steps for 3-axis galvanometer station CO2 laser engraving:

Creation of the graphic file

  • Design of the drawing or pattern using CAD/CAM software included with the machine or by importing from another program (AutoCAD, Illustrator, CorelDraw, Inkscape, etc.). The file can be vector (for precise tracing) or bitmap (images to be engraved)

Engraving settings

  • Selection of the job type: engraving (marking) or cutting
  • Adjustment of parameters according to the material (laser power, speed, resolution)
  • Definition of the work area and positioning of the starting point

Positioning the material on the table

  • Placement and securing of the material to be engraved or cut (wood, acrylic, leather, etc.)

Calibration and positioning test

  • Performing a “frame test” to verify that the path fits within the desired area
  • Adjusting the starting point position if necessary

Starting the engraving

  • Laser activation
  • The laser focal distance will be set based on the material thickness. If the material is not flat, the laser will adjust automatically by moving the 3rd axis optics.
  • The galvanometer head rapidly moves the beam according to the design, modulating the laser power to engrave the material

End of engraving

  • Automatic or manual machine stop
  • Removal of the engraved material

Cleaning and finishing

  • Removal of engraving residues (dust, ash)
  • Optional manual finishing (dusting, polishing)

Laser marking

This technique consists of burning the surface of the material, causing carbonization that creates a visual contrast between the original color and the one obtained after marking. This method is often used to ensure part traceability, increment serial numbers, or add references.

In this process, the laser carves into the surface of the material, removing a thin layer to form a pattern. This allows for detailed engravings on plates or other surfaces, offering precise and durable personalization.

Laser cutting

Laser cutting involves completely piercing the material with a very fine laser beam (about 100 microns). This technique offers high precision and superior cutting quality for various applications such as model making, cutting gaskets, or paper for invitations….

Advantages and uses of our 3-axis CO2 laser machines

  • ADVANTAGES

    Exceptional speed: the combination of high-speed galvanometer heads and 3-axis dynamic optics allows for both high production rates and a large marking or cutting area

    Power and efficiency: equipped with stable and durable water-cooled CO2 tubes, these systems offer power up to 550 W, suitable for the most demanding applications.

    Minimal maintenance: the 3-axis head requires no specific maintenance. The high working distance limits the accumulation of dust or particles on the optics, ensuring high reliability

    Material versatility: compatible with a wide range of substrates – wood, acrylic, leather, paper, glass, rubber, textiles, cardboard, stone, and many others.

    Optimized work tables: spacious and stable surfaces allowing for the processing of both small individual parts and large-format pieces.

  • APPLICATIONS

    Engraving and marking on wood, leather, glass, stone, and many other materials for the creation of leather goods, stationery, …

    Cutting of paper and cardboard: design of business cards, greeting cards, wedding invitations, gift vouchers, …

    Precision cutting of acrylic, MDF, plywood, or technical textiles.

    Rapid prototyping and small-batch production for testing or fine-tuning.

    Custom packaging design; cutting, perforating, or annotating allows you to freely choose both the shape and the material. Your packaging becomes much more than a simple off-the-shelf box.

    Leather and fabric cutting for the fashion and leather goods industry.

  • Our 3-axis lasers are available in several sizes, various power levels, and with closed or open frames.

    Certain options (CCD camera, positioning table, roll-to-roll, etc.) allow for automating or facilitating production.

  • Our experience, our partnerships with suppliers, and our proximity to our customers allow us to best respond to your project.

    Our customer service is at your disposal to answer your questions and provide you with fast, personalized support.
