The 1325 laser cutter (1300mm x 2500mm bed size) is a workhorse in industrial manufacturing, offering high-speed precision cutting for large-scale production. Here are the top 5 applications where it excels:

1. Large-Scale Acrylic & Plastic Fabrication

✅ Best for: Signage, displays, lighting panels, and packaging prototypes.

• Cuts up to 20mm acrylic with smooth edges (no polishing needed).

• Speed: 30-50mm/s (faster than CNC routers for thin sheets).

• Example: Producing full-size retail signs without seam lines.

2. Precision Woodworking & Furniture Production

✅ Best for: Cabinet parts, decorative panels, plywood templates, and wooden molds.

• Cuts 25mm hardwood with minimal charring (using air assist).

• Nesting software compatibility (saves material waste).

• Example: Mass-producing IKEA-style flat-pack furniture components.

3. Metal Engraving & Thin Metal Cutting (with optional upgrades)

✅ Best for: Serial numbers, barcodes, stainless steel labels, and aluminum trim.

• Engraves metals using Cermark/Thermark coatings.

• RF laser tubes can cut ≤2mm mild steel (not for heavy metal fabrication).

• Example: Aerospace part labeling for traceability.

4. Industrial Gaskets & Rubber Cutting

✅ Best for: Automotive, machinery, and hydraulic system gaskets.

• Laser-cut rubber, silicone, and fiber with ±0.1mm accuracy.

• No tooling costs (unlike die-cutting).

• Example: Custom O-rings for machinery maintenance.

5. Packaging & Prototyping

✅ Best for: Custom boxes, foam inserts, and product mockups.

• Kiss-cutting adhesive materials (no blade wear).

• Fast iteration for product development teams.

• Example: Luxury gift box inserts for high-end brands.

Bonus: Niche Applications

• Leather & Textiles – Car interiors, luxury goods.

• Carbon Fiber Composites – Drone/RC parts (with proper ventilation).

Who Needs a 1325 Laser Cutter?

✔ Factories needing full 4x8 ft sheet processing.
✔ High-volume workshops (500+ cuts per day).
✔ Industries: Furniture, automotive, aerospace, packaging.

Not for:
❌ Small shops (consider 6090 or 1318 models).
❌ Heavy metal cutting (fiber lasers are better).
