▶ What is laser engraving?
Laser engraving is a technology that utilizes a laser beam to etch, mark, or engrave a variety of materials. It is a precise and versatile method commonly used for adding detailed designs, patterns, or text to surfaces. The laser beam removes or modifies the material’s surface layer through laser energy that can be adjusted, resulting in a permanent and often high-resolution mark. Laser engraving is employed across various industries, including manufacturing, art, signage, and personalization, offering a precise and efficient way to create intricate and customized designs on a wide range of materials such as leather, fabric, wood, acrylic, rubber, etc.

▶ What is the best laser for engraving leather?
CO2 Laser VS Fiber Laser VS Diode Laser
CO2 Laser
CO2 lasers are widely considered the preferred choice for engraving on leather. Their longer wavelength (around 10.6 micrometers) makes them well-suited for organic materials like leather. The pros of CO2 lasers include high precision, versatility, and the ability to produce detailed and intricate engravings on various types of leather. These lasers are capable of delivering a range of power levels, allowing for efficient customization and personalization of leather products. However, the cons may include a higher initial cost compared to some other laser types, and they may not be as fast as fiber lasers for certain applications.
★★★★★
Fiber Laser
While fiber lasers are more commonly associated with metal marking, they can be used for engraving on leather. The pros of fiber lasers include high-speed engraving capabilities, making them suitable for efficient marking tasks. They are also known for their compact size and lower maintenance requirements. However, the cons include potentially limited depth in engraving compared to CO2 lasers, and they may not be the first choice for applications requiring intricate detailing on leather surfaces.
★
Diode Laser
Diode lasers are generally more compact and affordable than CO2 lasers, making them suitable for certain engraving applications. However, when it comes to engraving on leather, the pros of diode lasers are often offset by their limitations. While they can produce lightweight engravings, especially on thin materials, they may not provide the same depth and detail as CO2 lasers. The cons may include restrictions on the types of leather that can be effectively engraved, and they might not be the optimal choice for projects requiring intricate designs.
★
Recommend: CO2 Laser
When it comes to laser engraving on leather, several types of lasers can be used. However, CO2 lasers are the most common and widely used for this purpose. CO2 lasers are versatile and effective for engraving on various materials, including leather. While fiber and diode lasers have their strengths in specific applications, they may not offer the same level of performance and detailing required for high-quality leather engraving. The choice among the three depends on the specific needs of the project, with CO2 lasers generally being the most reliable and versatile option for leather engraving tasks.
