Hi All,
First post here, and i am in need of some assistance.

I have an aluminium boat building company, and am looking at getting a machine, or machines to cut the Aluminium, Perspex, Polycarbonate and steel / stainless etc going forward.

I am looking at two seperate options.

1 - getting a 6m x 2m Plasma Table and a 4x8 CNC router

2 - Getting a 6m x 2m fiber laser


The question is to those of you who know or have a fiber laser system,
1, What can it do, can they only cut metal, or can they cut other materials also?
2, I see people on youtube doing laser engraving work (both 2d and 3d) with fiber lasers on anything from Metal to Perspex and wood, can all fiber lasers do this or does it have to be specified?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Robert
