What is CO2 Laser?   
 

    A CO2 laser is an exciting form of cutting edge technology that harnesses the power of precision laser beam cutting to create custom cuts and engravings. Laser engraving and cutting with a CO2 laser system is a cost-effecive alternative for custom-cutting materials without having to create a pricey cutting die. Because there is no need for a die, a laser is capable of creating detailed cuts that would otherwise be impossible to create with a traditional cutting die.

    Unlike a cutting die, lasers can also work with other organic materials such as wood and leather, as well as inorganic materials such as metal, glass and various plastics such as acylic. CO2 lasers are capable of creating engravings of microscopicly controlled depths. Lasers can create effects that are normally done with scroll saws, sand blasters and traditional "scratch" engraving tools.

    Check back with us frequently to see examples of projects done using CO2 laser technology. Silver Compass is confident that you will be amazed by the detail that these technical marvals can achieve!
