CO₂ Laser Cutting & Engraving

What Is CO₂ Laser Cutting & Engraving?

CO₂ laser cutting and engraving uses a focused beam of light to vaporize or mark plastic with incredible accuracy. The process is completely non-contact, so there’s no blade wear, no mechanical stress, and almost zero heat distortion. Whether you need crisp functional parts or intricate decorative designs, our industrial-grade CO₂ lasers deliver polished, flame-like edges and fine detail down to 0.003" precision.


You get speed, repeatability, and versatility that traditional saws, routers, or hand tools simply can’t match. Perfect for prototypes, signage, awards, point-of-sale displays, and custom plastic components right here in Tucson.
