LASER MARKING AND ENGRAVING MACHINE FOR WOOD
Creating permanent marks on organic materials, such as wood, is a typical application. But with the need for high production rates without compromising precision, laser marking can become more challenging for wood manufacturers and custom promotional product suppliers. That’s where Radian Laser Systems comes in.
While hand-engraving is a beautiful art form, organizations are choosing us as their laser equipment supplier for our advanced wood laser marking and engraving machines. Our CO2 Galvo-Based Systems deliver inherent speed, precision, ease of use, and quality, transforming how suppliers operate.
Our Systems Can Be Configured to Your Needs
Radian Laser Systems can make delicate, simple markings as well as deep engravings. Popular applications include:
- Promotional products for custom gifts
- Firearm engraving
- Marking manufacturer logos, instructions, and warnings
- Personalized gifts and decor
- Detailed signage
- Serial numbers and barcodes
Radian Laser Systems’ 3D Technology Enables Engraving Irregular Shapes.
Our laser marking and engraving machines for wood are known for their unique 3D technology. This technology allows laser marking of timber on a curve without rotating the workpiece.
Combined with our optional Drinkware Rotary Kit, our 3D solution enables increased production and a unique capability to offer to their customers. Though often used for drinkware, it can also be applied to many irregularly shaped objects.
Why CO2 Laser Marking and Engraving Machines for Wood?
CO2 machines are ideal for laser engraving on wood. Why? CO2 lasers have a longer wavelength, which is better absorbed by organic materials like wood. This means they can create a controllable burning effect, resulting in high-contrast, legible details.
Key reasons for laser marking on wood:
- High Precision and Detail: CO2 machines can achieve high precision while keeping marking times fast. Create intricate logos and designs with great accuracy!
- High Speed: CO2 machines are much faster than traditional methods, increasing productivity and lowering production costs.
- Versatility With Materials: These laser systems aren’t only for wood! Use them for laser engraving on paper, leather, and other organic materials.
Can a Fiber Laser Engrave Wood?
Fiber lasers are highly effective machines, but they’re not suitable for wood. Its short wavelength is poorly absorbed and can penetrate the material, causing heat to build. This can eventually cause the wood to ignite.
Besides the fire hazard, uncontrolled absorption results in inconsistent marks and uneven charring on wood.
The bottom line: Use desktop fiber lasers for exceptional precision marking on metal, and CO2 laser marking and engraving machines for wood.

FAQs
How does precision laser marking on wood work?
Laser marking on wood uses a focused laser beam, typically from a CO2 laser, to precisely burn or vaporize the wood’s surface. The laser’s speed, power, and frequency are often adjusted to accommodate the wood’s type and density. This ensures the marking’s precision and quality.
Is a CO2 machine a good high-speed laser wood engraver?
Yes, CO2 machines are excellent for laser marking and engraving on wood. While fiber lasers are faster for metal, CO2 lasers are the top choice for wood engraving because they can engrave quickly and produce smooth finishes. A few of their many benefits include:
- Speed: Laser marking and engraving are often faster than traditional woodworking methods.
- Precision: Our CO2 lasers at Radian Laser Systems can create detailed marks with high accuracy.
- Clean Marks: These machines produce minimal burn marks and charring on wood.
What professional laser marking system do I need for wood?
You’ll need a CO2 laser marking and engraving machine for wood. These machines are ideal for organic materials because their wavelengths are absorbed by the molecular bonds in wood. This allows for high-quality, scalable results.
