Materials Compatibility

This comprehensive resource is designed to assist you in navigating the vast array of materials suitable for laser cutting and engraving on the Epilog system.

Understanding Material Compatibility:

Before embarking on any laser cutting or engraving project, it’s crucial to understand the compatibility of materials with the Epilog machine. Different materials react differently to laser processing due to variations in composition, density, and other factors. This guide categorizes materials based on their compatibility with the Epilog system, outlining which materials are safe for laser cutting and engraving and which ones should be avoided.
