Custom Made
Custom laser-cutting and engraving services are an excellent choice for businesses needing a range of cut-out or engraved products, from signage and displays to greeting cards. Lasers can cut and engrave many materials, including plastic, cardstock and paper, plywood, solid wood, wood veneer, and even fabrics.
Before the use of lasers, jobs that required cutting and engraving materials were done by hand. As a result, these jobs were challenging and often resulted in poor-quality products, inconsistent results, and extensive turnaround times. With lasers, however, customers enjoy a consistently high-quality product and a quick completion time. But what contributes to this level of quality and consistency, and why should your business go with a reputablelaser cutting companysuch as Gazer Laser LLC.?
1. Precision
Lasers used in laser-cutting and engraving are extremely accurate and can be adjusted to ensure the ideal cut or mark on a specific material. In fact, lasers are accurate to within one nanometer in both cutting and engraving. No other form of cutting and engraving is that precise—especially when the cutting and engraving is done by hand. In addition, the precision of a laser results in a reliably crisp and clean-looking product that sets your product apart and gives you an edge over the competition. Just imagine the professionalism and appeal a sleek laser-cut sign will add to your storefront, or the awe an intricately-cut textile display will inspire in your customers.

2. Cost-Efficiency
Having your new acrylic signage, paper invitation cards, or custom wooden mural cut and engraved with lasers is far more cost-effective than having these services done by hand. You’ll not only receive a meticulously crafted product at a better value, but also enjoy a shorter turnaround time. This quick production time cuts down on cost.
In addition, laser-cutting and engraving is a cost-efficient alternative to other manufacturing methods for small businesses, schools, and even crafters. Crafters, for example, utilize laser-cutting and engraving for custom cards, mosaics, and woodworking. Schools may use these services to produce custom murals, Mylar stencils for lettering, logos, and signage. More and more small businesses are using laser-cutting and engraving to manufacture anything from a single item to a large-volume order.

3. Shorter Turnaround
As stated before, laser-cutting companies offer a shorter turnaround time than conventional cutting and engraving services. This stems from the fact that lasers cut through materials more quickly and accurately than other cutting methods, including routers, milling machines, and mechanical cutting processes. Due to computer programming and automation, laser-cutting is also highly customizable. This means that the process isn’t just fast—it’s also highly precise, even for extremely complex designs.

Laser cutting prices
Laser cutting prices depend on numerous factors, including the material used by a part, the part size, the complexity of the part, and additional finishes.
When considering the machining costs, the longer it takes to cut out a part, the more expensive it will be. Simple shapes, such as rectangles and circles, are very quick to cut, which makes them cheaper to manufacture (as opposed to intricate parts with many cut-outs). Large graphical areas that use engraving take a long time to produce, making engraved parts more expensive. However, compared to other manufacturing methods (such as CNC milling), laser cutting is by far one of the most economical options available to engineers.
In addition to the low operating costs, laser cutters also lack tooling and unique customization, meaning that they are significantly cheaper and easier to operate compared to CNC mills.
