How you can use a laser machine to cut MDF board.

MDF fiberboard offers the simplest processing properties due to a high surface quality and uniform fiber structure. That’s why MDF is often used in furniture making, architectural models, prototype construction, for gifts or decorative items or toys. With laser technology, you can quickly cut MDF in thicknesses of up to 15 mm in a good quality. The high fiber density makes the material particularly suitable for laser cutting. Delicate details can also be easily produced. The dark edge is used as a design element in many cases.

MDF is best cut with a CO2 laser at 30 watts or higher. The laser power should be set so that the wood doesn’t burn. The controlled air assist with compressed air and the selection of a low frequency help with this. The use of a lens with a short focal length ensures good material removal. By combining these settings, you can achieve an optimal cutting result.
