As blue diode lasers, Atomstack X serie can cut certain thin and lightweight materials. They are paper and card stock, fabric, felt, sticker vinyl, cardboard, wood board, rubber stamp, acrylic, craft foam, thin plastic sheets (PETG, polystyrene, and thin PVC sheets), leather, EVA foam, thin cork, etc.

Some of these materials like plastics can be cut with limited success.

Metals have high reflectivity and thermal conductivity, making them unsuitable for engraving or cutting with visible wavelength lasers such as blue diode lasers.

However, diode laser engravers can mark metal surfaces after plating or painting, acting on coatings or oxidised layers.

If you're looking to engrave or cut metals such as stainless steel, it's recommended to use a fibre laser engraver/cutter.
