Wood cutting offers a versatile, precise method to transform wood into unique, elegant crafts.
Capable of cutting various kinds of wood such as beech, walnut, oak, and bamboo, CNC and laser technologies enhance the beauty of the wood while maintaining its integrity for further finishing like varnishing or painting.
Popular applications include architectural models, signs, displays, trophies, awards, interior design items, educational toys, and crafts. These technologies also enable innovative possibilities for creating complex shapes, mechanisms, and flexible components from wooden sheets.
Explore the expanding uses of wood and contribute to a more ecological world with our advanced wood laser cutting and CNC solutions.

Even with our lowest laser power, Gravotech laser wood cutting machines can cut most non-dense woods, such as MDF or plywood. Higher power ranges are recommended for cutting thicker wood.
Maximum thicknesses will depend on the type of wood being cut and the laser power. For example, a 40W laser can cut 15mm plywood, or even more, depending on the type of wood.
Gravotech offers unique accessories ideal for Laser Wood and other plywood processing, such as honeycomb table quick clamps and clips.
Small CO2 laser engraver and cutter for personalization, signage and creative.
Medium CO2 or Fiber laser engraving and cutting machine for signage and small series.
Large laser engraver and cutter that can do everything.
Large tables can be a useful tool for wood processing.
With Gravotech CNC machines, there is no thickness limit for wood cutting; the only limit is the size of the tool. All kinds of wood can be cut with a CNC wood cutter, and there is no burn hazard.
Applications include decorations, interior signage, and cut-out letters or names.
Small CNC engraving machine for label and small part traceability system.
Medium CNC engraving machine for flat and cylinder engraving on metal and plastic.
Large and extra large format CNC engraving machines.
CO2 laser technology is precise and efficient for cutting wood using a focused laser beam capable of vaporizing wood, resulting in clean and intricate cuts.

Regular maintenance is essential to keep the equipment in optimal condition, including cleaning the optics to ensure clear performance, as laser wood cutting generates significant smoke. Using a nose cone can help protect the lens from dust and smoke, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance. Selecting the right laser lens is also crucial for achieving precise, high-quality cuts. |
CNC wood cutting is an advanced method for efficient woodworking that allows for cutting through wood of varying densities and achieving beveled edges.
Advantages of CNC wood cutting machines:
A CNC wood cutter may leave clamp marks on workpieces due to the need to secure the wood during cutting. It also generates chips and dust, which require frequent vacuuming to maintain a clean workspace and ensure optimal machine performance.
Laser tables use a laser beam to cut wood through a natural reaction. Our CO2 laser wood cutting machines directly vaporize the material, so no chemicals are needed or generated when processing natural types like solid wood. Laser wood cutting produces no chips, only smoke, gas, and dust, which can be safely managed with a fume exhaust system.
However, some types of wood, such as plywood, composite, or OSB, release significant amounts of fumes, gas, and particles due to the adhesives used in their construction. The exhaust system is essential in filtering this smoke to maintain a healthy and odorless working environment.
Gravotech offers 3 sizes of extractors for wood cutting:
Our fume exhausts benefit from high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, that remove harmful fumes and return clean air.
We highly recommend using a filter accessory alongside the fume exhaust to enhance efficiency and lower operational costs. This accessory significantly extends the lifespan of HEPA exhaust filters, ensuring cost-effective operation over time.
Gravotech wood cutting machines are versatile enough to handle both mass-produced items and unique, one-off creations.
Applications for wood laser cutting include:
Gravotech’s expertise in wood laser cutting brings every imaginable creation to life.

Wood is a popular material due to its natural beauty and versatility. Each piece of wood can yield different results, even when using the same type of wood, because of its inherent variations. Laser cutting can handle both rough and stratified wood.
Our Laser Wood material is pre-finished and ready for immediate use ply-wood sheet. It can be directly processed with laser cutting without additional operations such as polishing.
Choose from four different Laser wood species:
Each piece has a birch core for consistent quality and performance.
Available in a range of thicknesses from 4.5 mm down to 0.4 mm, Laser Wood is ready to work with CO2 lasers, rotary tools, or even UV printing for added color. The opportunities are endless, but the choice is yours.
