    Looking to buy machine. Laser, Razor or Rotary?

    Hello!!

    I'm looking into starting a small business creating small, custom printed shapes from paper chipboard. Each shape is different, so I think a CNC cutter will be best, but I would love some guidance into what type of machine to buy.

    Here's what I need:


    1. Each shape is 2x3 inches and relatively simple (I've attached a picture as an example of the complexity).
    2. I anticipate high volume, so I would like to cut from either a 36" x 24" or 36" x 48" sheet of paper chipboard of 1/16" thickness
    3. The chipboard will have a printed image on both sides of each shape, so the cuts need to be precise and can't leave a burn on either of the flat sides.
    4. I would like to spend somewhere between $4k and $7k


    What kind of machine would fit all these requirements? And specifically what kind of cutting method would be best? I imagine a laser would give me the speed I need, but I'm worried the burning will show up the flat side. On the other hand, I don't know if a razor will be fast and durable enough, or if a rotary will create tears in the paper chipboard.

    If anyone has experiences with these methods on paper chipboard, your advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks so much!!

    Hi Mr. Andrius,

    Nice to meet you! According to your description we suggest you use a 80W laser cutting machine. This machine will be the best suitable machine for you. If you want to know more details of this machine, welcome send email to me. And we would like to send free cutting samples to you.

    Best&Rgds
