2025 FLUX Lasers Comparison | Find the Best Laser Cutter for Your Business

Looking to buy a laser cutter but unsure which one to choose? With numerous options available, finding the right laser cutter for your business can be daunting. Whether you’re a startup aiming to produce custom products or an established business seeking to enhance your production capabilities, selecting the perfect laser cutter is essential. This guide will explore the distinctions between FLUX desktop laser cutters, their unique features, and how to choose the best one for your specific business needs. Before we delve into comparing the machines, let’s first understand the differences between the main types of lasers used in cutters and engravers.

Laser Types Comparison

What is CO2 Lasers

CO2 laser cutters rely on a high-pressure, gas-filled tube with mirrors at each end. These mirrors reflect the light generated by the energized CO2 back and forth, amplifying the beam. Once the light reaches the desired intensity, it is directed onto the chosen material for cutting or engraving. CO2 laser cutters are highly versatile and can cut a wide range of materials, including non-metals and thicker materials such as wood and acrylics. They offer faster initial piercing times, quicker straight-line cutting, and smoother surface finishes, making them ideal for various cutting applications.
Factors to consider when choosing CO2 lasers include the need for consistent maintenance and occasional part replacements, such as the laser tube and lenses. Additionally, CO2 lasers cannot cut metals but can engrave on stainless steel with a spray-on coating and anodized metal. Therefore, if you’re looking for metal engraving lasers, it’s better to choose diode lasers or infrared lasers.

Advantages of CO2 Lasers

  • Material Flexibility: CO2 laser cutters can cut through a wider range of materials, including non-metals.
  • Thicker Materials: Efficient for cutting thicker materials over 5mm, providing faster initial piercing times, quicker straight-line cutting, and smoother surface finishes.
  • High-Speed Cutting: CO2 laser cutting machines handle large amounts of cutting work quickly. The laser beam moves at high speeds, allowing it to cut complex patterns or shapes in seconds. This makes CO2 lasers very useful in high-volume production, such as automotive manufacturing and sheet metal processing, significantly boosting production efficiency.

What is Diode Laser

A diode laser cutter uses semiconductor diodes to produce a focused laser beam. These lasers are known for their compact size and efficiency. The light produced by the diodes is focused through a lens system, directing the beam onto the material for cutting or engraving. Diode lasers are particularly effective for engraving on various materials and cutting thin materials. They are ideal for precision work and detailed designs. Factors to consider when choosing diode lasers is that Diode lasers are is not able to cut and engrave on transparent materials such as glass and transparent acrylics, if what you want to make through the laser cutter is highly relative to these materials, CO2 laser fits you better.

Advantages of Diode Lasers

  • Compact Size: Diode lasers are smaller and more portable than other types of lasers, making them ideal for limited-space environments.
  • Precision: Excellent for fine, detailed work, suitable for engraving on materials like wood, plastic, and coated metals.

What is Infrared Laser

Infrared lasers typically have a wavelength of 1064nm. They are named infrared (IR) lasers because their emitted light falls within the infrared spectrum, which ranges from 700nm to 1mm (1,000,000nm). Since the laser beam is in the infrared region, it is invisible to the human eye and has no discernible color. Infrared lasers are known for their precision and ability to handle specific materials that absorb infrared wavelengths effectively such as metals.
  • Precision and Accuracy: The focused beam of an infrared laser ensures that even the most complex designs are engraved with deep detail, producing crisp and clean marks.
  • Versatility in Materials: Infrared lasers can accurately engrave on a wide range of materials, including metal, plastic, stainless steel, copper, glass, and ceramics. This versatility brings more possibilities for creativity and customization.
