According to Digital Journal, paraphrasing a Market Research Future analysis, the laser cutting machine market is on track to reach a nearly $6 billion value by 2030. Growth in the industry is driven by a number of factors, including growth in several manufacturing sectors that rely on laser cutting. At the local scale, we see trends among our customer base too. In this post, we’ll
Foam is one of the easiest materials to cut with a laser cutting machine, and Kern laser systems are some of the best machines you can buy for cutting foam.
A common application for laser cutting machines is cutting and etching metal and plastic plates for ID nameplates and labels. Laser processing offers the user tremendous time savings over manual processes in this area, and our laser systems are excellent choices for this kind of work.
In CO2 laser systems, there are two common types of power supply that can be used to excite the gas molecules in the laser module: direct current (DC) and radiofrequency (RF). In this article, we’ll take a look at the differences between these two power supply types.

Here are five business categories that should consider using laser-cutting machines in their production processes, as well as descriptions of the ways these machines can benefit them.
A current AI-related concept with relevance to manufacturing is I/O (input/output), which refers to the transfer of data between systems. I/O allows machines to communicate with each other during the manufacturing process.
In this blog, we dispel some common myths and misconceptions about lasers, specifically about laser-cutting machines like those we manufacture and sell.
A good laser cutting or engraving system is a versatile machine that will allow a knowledgeable operator to produce a high-quality product using a variety of materials. That being said, a single laser may not be the appropriate choice for every application. You don’t necessarily need a high-powered CO2 laser system if you’re only using it to cut sheets of foam for furniture padding. Depending
Sheet metal cutting lasers are complex precision tools. When they are working at their best, they should be consistent: doing the same job to the same standard of quality, day-to-day. However, some components on a laser system are designed to be replaced, and failure to keep up regular maintenance can lead to a lower-quality product. In addition, a complex system like a laser cutter presents
To the layperson, the word “laser” can bring to mind some exciting, but perhaps not altogether comforting images out of popular culture: lightsabers and other sci-fi weapons from Star Wars, lasers used for security or intimidation in spy thrillers, laser-guided missiles, and submarines. And of course, lasers bring a more modest set of real risk factors associated with their improper use or malfunction—eye injuries, burns,
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is a strong, engineered material made of wood fibers, wax, and resin. The ability to laser cut profiles and engrave deep numbers and logos has much money-making potential in the crafting, signage, interior design, and furniture industries. Laser cutting is an easy way to process shapes with minimal scrap material. A common problem I see from customers who are trying to
