A 30W fiber laser can be used to engrave stainless-steel at a 90 degree angle and with a speedy speed of 3,543 IPM. It uses 100% of the laser's power.
EZCAD 2.0 can be used on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, WIN7, WIN8 and WIN10 OS.
An affordable entry-level fiber laser cutter costs from $15,800 to $32,800 with lower laser powers of 1000W and 1500W for beginners with hobbyists, the top rated automatic fiber laser cutting system cost starts from $29,800 with medium laser powers of 2000W, 3000W, 4000W, and 6000W for precision cutting in in commercial use. The best high speed industrial fiber laser cutting machines are priced from $88,000 to $500,000+ with higher laser powers of 8000W, 10000W, 12000W, 15000W, 20000W, 30000W, 40000W for thick metal fabrication in professional use. The best budget fiber & CO2 combo laser cutting machine costs from $19,800 for multipurpose to cut metal, wood, MDF, plywood, acrylic, plastic, fabric, leather.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. (FM1212-50S) does not include assembly. The modules can be attached to the machine by simply referring to their manual.
Laser cutting fibers can significantly improve the productivity of metal fabrication shops or companies manufacturing custom-made metal parts.
The laser used is a pulsed fiber laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm. It has an estimated lifetime of 25,000+ hours.

A fiber laser has eliminated the need to align beam paths and mirrors with optical fibers.
They have a dedicated community website for their customers. Small communities are also active on Facebook groups.
For advanced designing, you can use other CAD programs (like Photoshop, AutoCAD, CorelDRAW) and import files into EZCAD2.0 in JPG, DXF, PNG, PLT, PCX, DXF, and BMP file formats.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., FM1212-50S can engrave acrylic, hard-plastic, brick, granite, marble, tile, aluminum, gold, silver, stainless steel, brass, titanium, and tungsten.
Raycus laser, a popular laser source brand, is used by many laser cutters and engraver companies. Raycus is often mentioned in the catalogs for different laser manufacturers. This means that all these machines are equipped with a Raycus Fiber Laser Technologies Co. Ltd. Laser source.
One thing to note is that while using a fiber laser, you will be somewhat limited in the work-bed size and the range of materials you can cut.
MCWlaser PRO features a Z-axis that can be manually moved up or down using a control wheel. Unfortunately, the XY axes cannot be adjusted.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., fiber laser systems can etch and mark a wide variety of plastics and metals. Below is only a sample of some of the materials that have been marked with one of our fiber laser systems.
Because the glass is transparent and the wavelength range of the automatic fiber laser cutting machine does not fall within the absorption range of the glass, it only absorbs a small amount of laser energy within the visible spectrum and cannot be cut by fiber laser.
Laser cutters cost between $13 and $20 per hour to operate. Water jet cutters cost between $15 and $30 per hour. Overall, the operating costs are comparable, and the total cost will be determined by your project.
Thin carbon fiber mat can be cut with some fraying - but not when coated. The laser can cut or etch. The laser can cut materials such as wood, paper, cork, and some plastics.
