Each laser cutter has its own wattage, which means it can cut through a slightly different set of materials. Our 100W lasers, Deathstar and Obi-Wan, can cut through thick acrylic, while our 50W laser with an aluminum engraving table, Gandalf, is better for papers and thin boards. There is a material library at each laser cutter for you to reference.
All of our lasers are a brand called Universal Laser. Most of them use software called the Universal Control Panel (UCP) on the computers to run.
