How COâ‚‚ Laser Engraving Works on Leather
Let’s see how laser engraving works on leather. When you use a CO₂ laser, the beam hits the leather and changes its surface. The laser can make grooves as deep as 200 to 300 microns, depending on how strong and fast you set it. You control how deep and detailed the marks are, so your wallet looks just how you want.
Here’s what happens when you engrave with a laser:
- The laser changes the leather’s top layer, making grooves that can be deep or shallow.
- You can set the laser power from 5 to 30 watts and the speed up to 600mm/sec.
- Different leathers act differently. Nappa leather does not change much at low power, but suede keeps the same groove depth even if you use more power.
See how CO₂ lasers work with different wallet leathers:
|
Type of Leather |
Interaction with COâ‚‚ Laser |
|---|---|
|
Vegetable-tanned leather |
Works well, leaves a dark engraved mark. |
|
Chrome-tanned leather |
Can burn easily; use less power to keep it safe. |
|
Faux Leather (PU leather) |
Does not handle heat well; not good for laser cutting. |
COâ‚‚ lasers can do many things. You can make light marks for soft designs or deep grooves for bold ones. If you want the best laser for leather, COâ‚‚ is the best choice. You get control, good quality, and the same results every time.
