+31 40 8080 193The ultimate solution for precise and versatile cutting
Welcome to the world of the laser cutting machine, where precision, versatility and productivity come together. Whether you are a professional looking for an advanced cutting solution or a hobbyist looking to enhance your creative projects, a laser cutting machine offers the perfect solution. Here we explore the possibilities and benefits of a laser cutter and why it is the ultimate choice for precise and versatile cutting.
Types of laser cutting machines
There are different types of laser cutters, each with its own characteristics and applications. CO2 laser cutters are one of the most popular options and are mainly used for cutting non-metallic materials such as wood, acrylic (plastic), textiles and leather. Fiber laser cutters on the other hand, are ideal for cutting metal materials, including steel, aluminum and copper. They offer high cutting speeds and excellent precision. Laser cutters are available from small to large format, also known as portal lasers. These machines are specially designed to be able to cut very large objects, resulting in fewer cutting losses. All laser cutters are available in different sizes and power levels depending on the user's needs. It is important to consider the intended use and the materials you want to cut when choosing the right type of laser cutter for your needs.
Versatility
One of the main advantages of a laser cutting machine is its versatility. Whether you want to cut wood, acrylic, textile, leather, metal or even glass, a laser cutting machine can handle it all. Different power levels and settings allow you to adjust the cutting depth, speed and intensity of the laser beam to achieve the desired results. Whether cutting complex patterns or cutting out personalized shapes, a laser cutting machine offers the versatility you need.
Accuracy
Accuracy is essential when cutting, especially with fine details and complex designs. A laser cutting machine offers just that. Thanks to the concentrated and powerful laser beam, a laser cutting machine allows you to make extremely precise and detailed cuts, even on the smallest surfaces. With a laser cutting machine you can create clean, perfect cuts without fraying or damage, giving your projects a professional look.
efficiency
Time is precious, especially in a production environment. With a laser cutting machine you can complete your cutting projects more efficiently. The automated processes and fast cutting speeds ensure higher productivity and a faster turnaround time. Moreover, the operation of a laser cutting machine is simple and intuitive, even for beginners. With a short learning curve, you can get started quickly and take your productivity to new heights.
Creativity
A laser cutting machine opens the door to limitless creative possibilities. You can customize your designs and experiment with different materials and shapes. From creating personalized gifts and interior decorations to cutting complex prototypes and industrial parts, a laser cutting machine enables you to bring your creative vision to life with precise and beautiful cuts.

Here you will find an overview of the different solutions in the field of laser cutting machines and their application possibilities.
CO2 Laser Cutting Machine
CO2 laser cutters are particularly suitable for the laser cutting of organic materials. Think of laser cutting of plastic (plexiglass), wood, leather, cardboard, textiles, textiles. CO2 laser cutting machines use a wavelength of 10.6 micrometers.
Fiber Laser Cutter
These are high-power laser cutting machines with laser powers from 500W, but usually in the kiloWatt range. These fiber laser cutting machines are mainly used for the laser cutting of metals.

In addition to standard CO2 laser cutting machines, MetaQuip also has machines for special applications: extra large, extra fast, more power. View the complete CO2 laser machine overview here.
Fiber Metal Laser Cutter Portfolio
MetaQuip has a number of fiber laser metal laser cutting machines for laser cutting metal in its portfolio. In terms of quality, these machines can compete with metal cutters from large German laser parties, but at a significantly lower purchase cost and during production these costs remain significantly lower due to the high reliability. From 500-6kW for cutting thick metal. The major advantage of fiber laser metal cutting is that no further post-processing is required.
Examples of metal cutters up to 2kW – thin sheet material

From digital design to realization
Create your digital design with your mechanical design package (Solidworks, Inventor, Rhino, Fusion 360 360) and export the 2D cutting lines in DFX format. Your laser machine works on the basis of such a vector format. For people with a graphic background, packages such as Adobe Illustrator also work perfectly. The AI format can in most cases also be loaded directly into the laser software. The reading in of your design is done with the included laser software (Windows only). Then select the cutting speed and laser power, place material and start the laser job. Fast and easy.
Laser machines from small to large
MetaQuip supplies a complete range of laser machines for laser cutting. The two most important parameters are laser power and the size of the worktop.
- Laser power - in general, the thicker the material you want to cut, the more laser power you will need.
- Work surface – the size of the work surface determines the maximum size of the object you can cut.

We can also adjust the machine in such a way that also can be engraved with! Knowing more? Contact us.
Go to the CO2 steel cutter for more information and possibilities.
Safety
High power laser machines often use invisible (concentrated) laser light. This is potentially dangerous. That is why MetaQuip does everything it can to supply laser class 1 or laser class 3R laser machines where possible. Solutions that are intrinsically safe to use without further laser safety precautions. We deliver our open machines with a declaration of incorporation. In these cases, you must provide the laser safety yourself. An inspection company such as Laprocon can advise you on what needs to be done so that these open (laser class 4) machines can also be used safely.
