- Quickly laser cut foams up to 40 mm thick
- Laser engrave and cut thermoplastics at a faster pace
- Minimize your electrical power consumption and/or carbon footprint while using a professional industrial-grade laser head
PLH3D-XT-50 is the most precise 6W laser head for CNC machines on the market. Its precision is above the highest precision human eye can differentiate (real-life DPI of 338). The XT-50 has a square beam spot profile that can be easily adjusted in size.It lasts for years and consumes a maximum of 30W of electrical power.
- Laser engrave in Ultra HD definition (550 DPI)
- Laser cut thin materials up to 6-8 mm thick, especially leather and textiles
- Laser engrave, not just mark, stainless steel, carbon steel and Titanium
- Laser engrave with an adjustable-size square beam spot
- Laser engrave small text or design 1 mm in size
- Use this laser head for testing the accuracy of your CNC machine(s) or, if you are a CNC machine-producing company, for your CNC machines’ accuracy prototyping.
- Use this laser head for optical tweezers
- Minimize your electrical power consumption and/or carbon footprint while using a professional industrial-grade laser head
PLH3D-6W-XF+ is the best laser head to learn laser cutting and engraving. It features a rotatable lens sleeve that allows changing the working distance and the focused beam spot size, consequently changing the resolution (40-160 DPI). Like our other laser heads, it lasts for years and also consumes a maximum of 30W of electrical power.
- Laser engrave in Standard+ definition (80 DPI)
- Laser cut thicker materials above 8 mm thickness
- Laser mark stainless steel and Titanium
- Be able to rotate the focusing lens, changing the working distance as well as the focused beam spot size and consequently resolution (40-160 DPI)
- Laser cut foams up to 40 mm thick
- Minimize your electrical power consumption and/or carbon footprint while using a professional industrial-grade laser head

Notes:
- The table above is a general guideline for laser cutting and engraving capabilities of different materials with our range of blue laser heads. The practical performance may however vary depending on the particular material’s manufacturer, material type (or alloy in the case of metals) as well as its production process, which influences its composition, thermal conductivity, and surface roughness among other important factors. Exact materials of interest should be tested for final verification. In addition, the material’s color is of great importance as well. Darker colors yield better results, while lighter or semi-transparent colors are worse. Blue colors might often be difficult and sometimes even impossible to laser cut or laser engrave. White-colored materials are often also impossible to be laser processed as white materials reflect blue light.
- It depends on the density of the glass threads and their thickness.
