Fiber vs CO₂ Laser Cutting: What's the Difference?

Key Differences Between Fiber and CO₂ Lasers

• Wavelength: Fiber (1.06 µm) is ideal for metal; CO₂ (10.6 µm) better for wood, plastic

• Material Suitability: Fiber can cut reflective metals; CO₂ cannot

• Maintenance: Fiber is solid-state, lower maintenance; CO₂ has mirrors and gas systems

When to Choose Each

• Fiber: Fast, precision metal cutting (e.g., stainless, brass, copper)

• CO₂: Great for cutting non-metals or thick acrylic
