Laser Cutting
Laser cutting and engraving allows us to create highly precise shapes, markings and decorative details across a wide range of materials.
From acrylic lettering and engraved slate to educational puzzles and event graphics, our laser cutting service is suited to both one-off pieces and repeatable batch work. The examples below show the variety of materials, finishes and applications we can produce.
With our high speed laser cutter, we can cut or engrave intricate shapes and patterns in a wide variety of materials, including many plastics, wood, MDF, card, paper, leather and fabrics. We can also spray the finished pieces in almost any colour. Our laser cutting service is capable of an extremely fine level of detail, and we can even engrave monochromatic photographic images onto suitable surfaces.
The client needed two versions of this sign, in a hurry, for a major marketing event. The background colour had to be right and the letters had to be cut from solid acrylic for long term durability.
This custom designed jigsaw puzzle is one of a set of four that were made as an educational exercise for children visiting a historic castle. The puzzle pieces are created from a decorative floor motif in one of the castle rooms.
These multi-coloured 2D puzzles are part of a set of six commissioned to help teach young students about different parts of the brain. They wanted a puzzle based on an existing, brightly coloured 2D diagram so we suggested creating the sections from layers of different coloured 5mm thick acrylic. This meant the pieces were self-coloured all the way through, rather than having a painted or printed finish which could chip, and we were able to to laser-engrave thin vein lines on the front faces and labels on the backs. We also laser-cut the profiled trays from two layers of white acrylic and created small cardboard folders to protect the puzzles when not in use.
We created multiple units of these educational puzzles for the Neuroscience department at the local University. The puzzles, a simplified representation of DNA, were designed as a rough sketch by the client which we then drew up accurately in CAD for final approval by the university. The initial order was for a set of four but with an expectation of additional units at a later date.
Produced as part of a series of awards, the engraved logos and small lettering on this piece of natural slate demonstrates the fine detail that can be achieved through the laser engraving process.
These various samples illustrate the different effects the laser cutter can produce with clear acrylic. Crisp lines, frosted finishes, and intricately cut detail can all be combined to create interesting and attractive objects.
Our laser cutter can cut very fine detail in card as can be seen from the cut-through decorative motif on these wedding invitations. The design comprises this card outer layer featuring the couple's initials and a paper inner layer with all the detailed information.
We used our laser cutter to engrave this company's logo onto a batch of conference folders to be used as promotional gifts. The client opted for laser-engraving because it produces a subtle, textured finish that has a higher quality feel than conventional surface printing.
Precision-cut lettering and shapes produced from coloured acrylic for signage, displays and branded installations where a crisp finish is essential.
