Frequently asked questions
Answers about Universal Laser Systems lasers, parts, financing and trade-ins. Can’t find yours? Send us a message.
How much laser power do I need?
Laser power needs depend on your application. Universal Laser Systems offers CO₂ laser power from 10 to 300 watts across its systems. As an example, if you’re only using your laser to cut paper, a 10 watt laser would be suitable. However, if you need to cut 1/2″ acrylic, a higher power laser will be needed. Contact us and we can guide you to the appropriate options.
What does a Universal Laser Systems laser need to run?
A dedicated Windows computer, a fume extraction system, suitable electrical power and, if you use air assist, an oil-free compressed air supply.
What software can I use to design laser files?
Most of our customers use CorelDRAW®, Adobe Illustrator® or AutoCAD®. Universal Laser Systems also offers Direct File Import for PDF, DXF, STL and G-code files.
Can I finance a laser system?
Yes. Businesses can finance a laser system, or other equipment they buy from us, through our financing partner, NewLane Finance. See Equipment financing for how it works and the online application.
