Our wood laser engravers
Due to the great variety of wood types that can be processed, every company can use a laser engraver machine.
These devices make wood engraving and processing extra easy thanks to the computer-controlled laser. As a result, you can easily bring all your designs to life on various types of wood. Since the laser is fully enclosed,
engraving on wood is also safer. Wood laser engraving is therefore a technique that can be used by almost everyone: from experienced woodworkers to those new to laser technology. Self-engraving wood is thus child's play when you have one of these powerful machines in your possession.
The benefits of wood laser engraving
Scrap material
Compared to a CNC mill, you have less scrap material with a laser engraver machine. The laser head doesn't touch the material and therefore you don't have any waste.
Finishing
In most cases, no finishing is needed. Your wooden products are immediately well-finished and ready for use.
Accuracy
The engraving machine engraves wood to an accuracy of one-tenth of a millimeter and is always accurate.
Lifetime
A BRM laser engraving machine for wood has no wear-and-tear tools and lasts a long time.

Without my laser machine, Studio Bee wouldn't exist. BRM is a safe choice, and in terms of price, they're also quite competitive. Which makes it ideal for a starting business.
Design your own designs
Because wood engraving machines are computer-controlled, it's incredibly easy to bring your designs to life. All you need to do is send a digital file to the machine, which then knows exactly what to do to engrave the wood perfectly. By experimenting with settings, you can even change the color of the engraving. When you engrave on wood, the print usually becomes darker than the wood itself. This can be avoided by using lacquered wood. If you laser engrave this wood with low power and high speed, a light engraving often occurs. By playing with thickness and size of the design, as well as color, you're not just creating customized products, but also making wood engraving an ideal technique for personalized items.

How does it work?
Wood engraving occurs with the help of a powerful laser beam. The wood pieces that this beam hits are extremely hot and burn, releasing almost no fine dust. Thisbresults in a clean and neat finish. Since the laser machine only engraves the top layers of the wood, an imprint is created. This makes this technique suitable for designing and engraving names. The surrounding wood is not affected, leaving behind sharp and neat lines. The thin beam allows for the creation of detailed designs. You can set the thickness and strength of this beam yourself, so that every design meets your wishes. Which settings work best depends on whether you're working with soft, thick, treated, or coated wood. The more you use the machine, the better you'll create the desired look.
Ease of use
The laser machine software can read different file formats, such as .ai and .dxf. You can therefore always continue to work with your favourite graphic design software, such as Adobe Illustrator and AutoCAD.
Once you’ve uploaded the design into the program, you indicate with which parameters the product should be produced. You then indicate where your design should be placed on the material, and you’re ready to operate the machine.
Various types of wood laser engraving
If you work constantly with different types of wood and are looking for a good all-round way to process these materials, then a laser machine is a good choice. Wood engraving and cutting is no problem at all for these devices. Because these machines are so versatile, you can use various types and sizes of wood during the laser engraving process. Texture doesn't play a role either. Even large wooden pieces with a thickness of up to 20 millimeters are no problem for these machines. Are you interested in going ahead with engraving in wood and wondering which types of wood are suitable for the laser machine? This is just a glimpse of the possibilities:
- MDF
- HDF
- Plywood
- Multiplex
- Solid wood
- Natural wood
- Fineer
- Cork
