This beautiful object is made by cutting 2mm plywood plywood and splicing layer by layer. Monport 40W LightBurn uses its own excellent cutting power to achieve some hardwood cutting. There are many kinds of wood that can be engraved, and testing your specific material is critical to getting the best results. Generally, wood with the same texture and color is engraverd more evenly. Others like fibers made of uneven fibers. Whatever you do, it usually produces poor results. Artificial wood products vary from brand to brand, mainly depending on their glue composition and content. MDF works well, but it will produce dark edges when cutting. In addition to the fire risk of any wood products, special attention must be paid to the smoke generated by glue used in plywood and other man-made wood. However, careful ventilation is required in the process of cutting such works. Monport 40W lightburn is generally equipped with a purifier for use, which can purify some smoke and toxic substances generated during the cutting process. Because the dust in some natural woods  can cause nausea and heart problems, its content is high enough.

In addition to wood, the 40W laser engraving machine can also carve some other things, including bamboo and other engraving works. Because the Monport 40W lightburn has higher power than other diodes, it can give play to its excellent engraving ability when carving hard materials that are not easy to carve and works that need carving depth, Many engravers will use Monport 40W lightburn to engraver common household products such as cutting boards.
