Wood

Wood – a material that has accompanied mankind since the dawn of history, symbolizing naturalness, durability, and warmth. At Formix, we combine this primal raw material with ultra-modern laser processing technology, opening up completely new possibilities. The precise beam of light allows us to work with solid wood, plywood, or MDF boards with a level of accuracy impossible to achieve with traditional methods. In our hands, this classic material becomes a canvas for the most complex projects – from artistic decorations to precise industrial components.

Laser cutting of wood and wood-based materials

Laser cutting of wood is a thermal process in which concentrated energy sublimates (evaporates) the material, creating an extremely precise and narrow cut. A characteristic feature of this technology is the smooth cutting edge with a slightly darkened, brown tint, which results from the thermal treatment. This natural effect is often desirable and gives products a unique, handcrafted character. Thanks to the contactless nature of the process, we eliminate the risk of splinters, cracks, or damage to delicate structures, making it possible to cut filigree details even in thin sheets of plywood or veneer.

Advantages of laser cutting wood

Laser processing of wood and wood-based materials guarantees the highest precision and efficiency. This technology delivers a number of benefits that optimize both creative and production processes.

• Unmatched precision: Ability to cut details with complex geometries with an accuracy of hundredths of a millimeter.
• Clean and fast process: Cutting is performed without chips and dust, and the processing speed significantly exceeds traditional methods when working on complex patterns.
• Minimal material waste: Very narrow cutting line and the ability to digitally plan layouts allow for maximum utilization of each sheet of material.
• Versatility: Excellent results both on hard solid wood species and on composite materials such as plywood, MDF, HDF, or cork.

From prototypes to mass production – applications

The versatility of laser cutting in wood makes its applications practically unlimited. We produce elements for the advertising industry (letters, logos, signs), interior decoration (perforated panels, wall ornaments, coasters), model making (precise architectural and vehicle models), and industry (templates, machine components). It is also the ideal technology for producing personalized gifts, toys, packaging, or wooden accessories.

Laser engraving on wood – personalization with natural beauty

Laser engraving allows for permanent and precise marking of any pattern on the surface of wood – from simple text to complex logos and even photographic-quality images. Depending on the wood type and the set parameters, the laser beam creates a groove of varying depth and shade. The result is always elegant and durable, as the pattern becomes an integral part of the material rather than just a print on its surface.

More than a pattern – creating depth and contrast

By controlling the laser’s power, we can achieve a variety of aesthetic effects. A delicate engraving may subtly outline a design, while deeper processing creates a distinct, three-dimensional relief that beautifully complements the natural grain of the wood. Engravings on materials such as oak, walnut, or cherry produce a strong, dark contrast, while on lighter woods like maple or alder, we obtain a more subtle, caramel tone. This allows for deliberate design of the final product’s appearance.

Formix – technology in the service of nature

At Formix, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to work with such a demanding and diverse material as wood. We understand how different species react to laser processing and know how to select the right technology so that the final result not only matches the design but even surpasses it. Our advanced machinery park is at your disposal, regardless of the scale of the project.

We carry out orders for companies, advertising agencies, designers, and individual clients. Each inquiry is treated as a new challenge, approached with passion and full professionalism. Entrust us with your idea, and we will transform it into a precisely crafted wooden detail that will last for years.
