Laser Principle & FAQ: Laser Cut Paper

▶ How a Paper Laser Cutter Works?

CO2 laser cutting of paper relies on a precisely focused laser beam generated from a gas mixture, typically carbon dioxide. This concentrated beam is directed through mirrors and lenses to enhance its power and focus. The laser beam, well-absorbed by organic materials like paper, heats and vaporizes or melts the paper along a controlled cutting path. The process is guided by a CNC system, ensuring accuracy and repeatability. Air assist and exhaust systems remove debris and fumes, contributing to a clean and polished finish. CO2 laser cutters offer versatility, enabling both intricate designs (rastering) and precise cuts along defined paths (vectoring). The result is a high-quality, detailed paper product suitable for various applications.

▶ Tips & Attention of Laser Cutting Paper

1. Laser Parameter Adjustments: Parameters of the laser cutter, such as power, speed, and focus, significantly impact the quality of the cut. Lower power settings are usually better for paper to prevent burning.

2. Test Cutting: Always perform test cuts on a sample piece of paper. This helps in determining the optimal settings for your specific material. Alternatively, you can cut a material test card for later use.

3. Air Assist: Use an air assist system if available. It helps in reducing the chances of burning by blowing away smoke and debris from the cutting area.

4. Minimize Heat Buildup: Since paper is highly susceptible to heat, it's important to minimize heat buildup. This can be done by increasing the cutting speed or reducing the laser power.

5. Clean Working Area: Ensure the laser cutter’s bed is clean and free of debris. Residues from previous cuts can catch fire or affect the quality of the cut.

6. Safety Precautions: Always follow safety guidelines. Ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhaling fumes produced during cutting, and never leave the laser cutter unattended while in operation.

7. Maintenance and Calibration: Regular maintenance and calibration of the laser cutter are essential for consistent cutting quality.

Common questions about laser cutting paper

▶ How do you laser cut paper without burning it?

To laser cut paper with a CO2 laser without burning it, it is essential to fine-tune the laser settings. Start by adjusting the laser power to a low level, typically around 10% or lower, to minimize heat generation. Control the cutting speed to ensure that the laser moves quickly over the paper, reducing the time it stays in one spot and minimizing heat buildup. Properly focus the laser beam on or just above the paper's surface to prevent excessive heat transfer. Additionally, use an assist gas, such as compressed air or nitrogen, to blow away debris and cool the cutting area during the process, preventing any ignition or burning of the paper.

▶ Can you cut a stack of paper on a laser cutter?

It's possible for a laser to cut a stack of paper, but you had better do the test before real laser cutting paper, to find the appropriate power and speed setting combination. Additionally, consider the machine's specifications and consult the manufacturer's guidelines for stacking and cutting multiple sheets of paper. We have made a test of laser cutting multi-layer paper up to 10 layers. The experiment shows the CO2 laser can cut through 10-layer paper but the ignition may be caused due to the accumulated dust and heat among the layers. Interested in the test, you can check out the below video. If you are confused about laser cutting multilayer material, inquire us is the best way. inquire us >

>> Challenge of laser cutting multi-layer paper

▶ How to find right focus length for laser cutting paper?

For a laser machine, the term "focal length" usually refers to the distance between the lens and the material being processed by the laser. This distance determines the focus of the laser beam that concentrates the laser energy and has a significant impact on the quality and precision of the laser cutting or engraving. Usually, you need to shoot the laser on an inclined object like a piece of cardboard to score a line, and find the thinnest spot on the line. Measure the distance from the laser head to the smallest spot, and that's the right focal length for the laser machine. Get a detailed tutorial about that, check out the video, or inquire with us.

▶ Can laser cutter engrave paper?

Yes, a CO2 laser cutter can engrave paper and perforate in the paper. Laser engraving on paper allows you to create intricate designs, patterns, text, or images on the surface of the paper without cutting through it. Laser engraving paper usually requires lower laser power and higher laser speed for a fine-detail graphic.

▶ Can laser kiss cut paper?

Absolutely! Thanks to the digital control system, the laser energy can be controlled by setting different powers, that can cut through or engrave in different depthes. Thus laser kiss cutting can be accomplished, such as laser cutting patches, paper, stickers, and heat transfer vinyl. The whole kiss-cutting process is automatic and highly precise.
