Solution

Nonmetal Engraving and Cutting

Sign workshops and makerspaces run mixed jobs: acrylic letters, wooden plaques, leather patches and paper templates. Weihua Laser supplies CO2 engraving and cutting machines with blade or honeycomb tables that handle these materials without changing fixtures.

Scope

What This Solution Covers

Sign workshops and makerspaces run mixed jobs: acrylic letters, wooden plaques, leather patches and paper templates. Weihua Laser supplies CO2 engraving and cutting machines with blade or honeycomb tables that handle these materials without changing fixtures. The 1390 and 1325 models cover small batch and large format work, letting one shop process sign panels, templates and decorative parts on a single platform.

Before

Problems In The Current Process

  • Mechanical cutting of acrylic leaves chipped edges that require sanding before assembly
  • Hand engraving of small text on wood or leather is slow and inconsistent across batches
  • Paper and film templates shift during cutting, ruining registration for subsequent assembly steps
  • Standard routers cannot cut thin nonmetallic materials without tearing the surface or leaving fuzz
  • Lack of a dedicated honeycomb table causes heat reflection and scorching on delicate materials
Requirements

What The Process Has To Deliver

  • A machine that switches between engraving and cutting without changing the work area setup
  • Positioning accuracy of 0.01 mm to ensure small text and complex shapes repeat correctly
  • Support for standard graphic formats like AI, BMP and PLT to avoid file conversion errors
  • Water-cooled laser tubes that maintain stable output during long production runs of dense patterns
  • A compact or large-format bed that fits the actual workshop footprint and material sizes
Process

Stage By Stage

Send the material types, thicknesses and maximum sheet sizes you intend to process

We recommend the 1390 for smaller work areas or the 1325 for large format cutting

Machine is assembled with the selected laser power, 60 W to 300 W, and table type

Positioning accuracy is checked to ensure it meets the 0.01 mm resetting specification

Machine ships by sea, air or international express with an English manual and video guidance

Installation and commissioning are supported by remote technical support and spare parts supply

Applications

Typical Applications

  • Cutting 3 to 10 mm acrylic letters for storefront signage with polished edges

Buyer Questions

Nonmetal Engraving and Cutting FAQ

What is the difference between the 1390 and 1325 models?
The 1390 has a 1300 x 900 mm work size and supports 60 W to 150 W lasers. The 1325 has a 1300 x 2500 mm work size and supports up to 300 W for large format cutting.
Can the machine cut and engrave in the same job?
Yes. The DSP control system allows you to set different speeds and powers for engraving and cutting paths within the same file, so the machine switches automatically.
What materials can the CO2 laser process?
It handles nonmetals like acrylic, wooden boards, paper, bamboo, dual-color boards, leather, fabric and organic glass. It is not suitable for metal cutting.
What file formats does the machine support?
The machine supports BMP, PLT, DST, DXP and AI formats. You can send vector files directly for cutting and raster files for engraving.
What is the minimum character size for engraving?
The minimum shaping character size is 1 mm x 1 mm for English text and 2 mm x 2 mm for Chinese characters.
How is the laser tube cooled?
The laser tube uses water cooling. You need to provide a water chiller or a recirculating water tank to maintain the tube temperature during operation.
