Laser engraving machine questions

What is the difference between a CO2 and a fiber laser engraving machine?
CO2 lasers cut and engrave non-metals such as wood, acrylic, leather, and glass. Fiber lasers mark metals such as stainless, aluminum, and coated parts. Most shops that do both materials end up with one of each. Thunder Laser USA will run a free sample of your material before you buy.
Which Thunder Laser is best for a small business?
Most small businesses start with the Nova Plus, our most versatile machine: it cuts and engraves well, and it is our most popular. The Bolt is built around fast, detailed engraving. The Titan is the production step-up with the fastest engraving and a premium tube. The Aurora is the add-on for metal marking. Not sure? Use the Find your machine questions on this page, or ask us for a written quote.
Does Thunder Laser include LightBurn?
Yes. Thunder Laser USA CO2 and fiber machines include LightBurn, licensed for two computers. Ruida controllers are industry-standard, so you are not locked into a cloud-only app.
Where is Thunder Laser support based?
Thunder Laser USA has a US-based support team. Every machine includes one free hour of remote training and a written machine warranty: 2 years on the Bolt, Nova Plus, and Titan, and 3 years on the Aurora. Over 1,000 owners have left five-star reviews on Trustpilot.
