What Is Laser Cutting?

Laser cutting uses a focused laser beam to cut through material along a digital design. The beam follows vector paths to produce shapes, openings, and individual parts from sheet materials.

Intricate Shapes

Complex outlines, small holes, and fine internal patterns, all cut in one pass.

Non-Contact Processing

The beam does the work, so no blade touches the material and no clamping marks are left behind.

Repeatable Parts

The same file produces identical parts run after run, which makes batch production predictable.

What Materials Can Thunder Laser Cutters Cut?

Wood, acrylic, and other non-metals cut on a CO₂ laser. Stainless steel and carbon steel need a fiber laser. Thunder Laser builds both, so you can match the laser source to the material instead of compromising on one of them.

CO₂ Laser Cutting Laser-cut wooden signs made on a CO₂ laser cutter

Non-Metal Sheet Materials

Cut and engrave in one job, with clean edges on sheet goods and thin flexible materials.

Wood Plywood MDF Acrylic Paper & Cardboard Leather Textiles ABS Foam & EVA

Machine: Nova Series DC glass CO₂ cutter (Nova 24 / 35 / 51 / 63). See the CO₂ lineup

Fiber Laser Cutting Hundreds of laser-cut holes and contours in a stainless steel sheet

Metal Sheet Materials

Thickness below is what AccuMetal cuts through cleanly in our own material tests.

CO₂ for non-metals, fiber for metal sheet

Two series cover cutting at Thunder Laser. Nova Series is the CO₂ platform for wood, acrylic, paper, and leather. AccuMetal Series is the fiber platform for stainless and carbon steel sheet. Pick the series first, then the working area.

CO₂ Laser Cutters

Wood, acrylic, MDF, paper, leather, and other non-metals

Nova Series

Four formats from 600 × 400 mm to 1,600 × 1,000 mm

CO₂Nova 24 / 35 / 51 / 63

Laser source: DC glass CO₂ tube
Laser power: 40 / 80 / 100 / 130 W by model
Working area: 600 × 400 mm to 1,600 × 1,000 mm
Typical materials & applications: Acrylic, plywood, MDF, wood, cardboard, leather, fabric — signage, displays, packaging, model parts. For 20 mm acrylic and thicker, choose 60 W or above.
Key configuration: Hybrid servo motion up to 1,000 mm/s, dual air assist with high- and low-pressure modes, red-dot positioning through the beam combiner

CO₂ only. Nova Series does not cut bare metal sheet — stainless and carbon steel need the AccuMetal fiber platform.

Fiber Laser Cutters for Metal

Stainless and carbon steel sheet, cut on the AccuMetal platform

AccuMetal Series

Two formats: 610 × 610 mm and 1,300 × 1,300 mm

Fiber 1500 WAccuMetal 24 / 51

Laser source: Fiber laser
Laser power: 1500 W
Working area: 610 × 610 mm (AccuMetal 24) / 1,300 × 1,300 mm (AccuMetal 51)
Typical materials & applications: Stainless steel ≤ 5 mm, carbon steel ≤ 8 mm, aluminium ≤ 3 mm, brass ≤ 2 mm — brackets, plates, frames, metal letters, small-batch sheet parts
Key configuration: ±0.02 mm repeat positioning, 500 mm/s, 2.0 G (24) / 1.8 G (51), 50 mm max processing height, 500 / 1,000 kg table load, automatic edge finder, front and rear pass-through door

Carbon steel up to 16 mm is cut-through only and depends on assist gas and parameters — confirm the range with a material test. AccuMetal cuts metal sheet; it does not replace a CO₂ cutter for acrylic or wood.

Why Choose Thunder Laser for Laser Cutting?

Four things decide whether a cutter fits your workshop: the quality of the cut, the size of the work it accepts, how long setup takes, and who supports you after delivery.

Clean Edges. Detailed Shapes.

CO₂ and fiber laser options match different materials, with adjustable processing settings to help achieve clean edges and intricate cuts.

Work Areas for Different Projects

Choose from multiple working areas for individual projects and batch production, with pass-through access on supported models for longer workpieces.

Less Time on Setup

Autofocus and configurable air assist on equipped models reduce manual preparation, helping you move from material setup to cutting more efficiently.

Support Beyond the Machine

From material testing and machine selection to training and technical support, get practical help before and after your laser cutter arrives.

How to Use a Thunder Laser Cutter

From File to Finished Part in 3 Steps.

The same loop whether you are cutting acrylic, plywood, or steel sheet: prepare the file, set the material, then check the job before the beam starts.

Prepare Your Design

Create or import a vector cutting file. Keep outlines, holes, and score lines on separate layers, and size the artwork to the sheet you are cutting.

Material positioned and focused inside a laser cutter

Set Up Your Material

Place the sheet, focus the laser, and set the parameters for that material and thickness, including air assist, cut passes, and piercing where needed.

Preview and Start Cutting

Check the job position and nesting with framing or preview, then start the cut and watch the first parts for kerf and edge quality.

See What You Can Make with a Thunder Laser Cutter

Four groups of work that customers cut every day. For each one we list the material, the machine, the power, and the detail that decides whether the job is realistic: kerf, edge finish, and how the parts assemble.

Machine: Nova 35
Laser power: 60 W RF CO₂
What to check: Fine bridges holding without tearing, no scorched edges, and flat sheets after cutting

Stainless steel 5 mm and carbon steel 8 mm cut on the AccuMetal fiber laser

Metal Parts

Brackets, plates, and machine guards cut on the fiber platform, with the cut-through range verified in our own tests.

Material: Stainless steel 304 / carbon steel
Thickness: 5 mm stainless, 8 mm carbon steel (cut through without dross)
Machine: AccuMetal Series
Laser power: 1500 W fiber
What to check: Square edges, minimal dross on the underside, and hole roundness in small arrays

Thickness and cycle time depend on your exact material, so we measure rather than estimate. Send us your sheet and we will return cut samples with the settings and timing we used.
