Wondering how fast a laser can turn your ideas into precision-cut products?

Whether you’re designing custom signage, engraving acrylic awards, or prototyping product parts, laser cutting offers speed, accuracy, and repeatability that few other methods can match. But how fast is “fast”? And what factors affect delivery time?

This quick guide breaks it down — and shows how services like RazorLAB make the process even faster and easier.

🔍 What Affects the Speed of Laser Cutting?

Laser cutters can move fast — some up to 500 mm/s — but several real-world factors determine how quickly your project is completed:

✅ Material Type

Different materials cut at different speeds. For example:

• Acrylic: Fast to cut, great for signage and display products

• Birch plywood: Slightly slower due to natural grain and burn resistance

• Leather or cardstock: Quick, but requires low power for clean results

• Metal (where applicable): Requires high wattage and usually slower

✅ Design Complexity

• Simple shapes and outlines = faster cuts

• Intricate engravings or small fonts = more time per unit

• Multi-layer or multi-pass jobs (like 3D models) also take longer

✅ File Readiness

If your file is already optimized (e.g., clean SVG or DXF), it speeds things up. If we need to adjust or fix the file, it adds time (but we're happy to help!)
