Laser engraving has become one of the fastest-growing manufacturing and personalization technologies for small businesses, workshops, jewelry makers, and creators. Whether you’re engraving metal business cards, personalized tumblers, wooden gifts, leather wallets, or industrial parts, choosing the right laser engraver can dramatically improve productivity and quality.
The LaserPecker LP5 is designed to bridge the gap between hobby-level engravers and expensive industrial laser systems. Combining a powerful 20W Fiber Laser and a 20W Blue Diode Laser in a single compact machine, the LP5 delivers exceptional versatility, allowing users to engrave and cut an extensive range of materials without switching machines. Official specifications describe it as a compact dual-laser system capable of engraving almost all common materials, with engraving speeds up to 10,000 mm/s and compatibility with both LaserPecker Design Space and LightBurn.
What Makes the LaserPecker LP5 Different?
Unlike traditional laser engravers that require separate machines for metals and non-metals, the LP5 combines two laser technologies into one system.
20W Fiber Laser
The fiber laser is specifically designed for metals and engineering materials, making it suitable for engraving:
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminum
- Brass
- Copper
- Titanium
- Gold
- Silver
- Platinum
- Engineering Plastics
Fiber lasers produce highly detailed markings, deep engraving, serial numbers, logos, QR codes, and color engraving on selected metals.
20W Blue Diode Laser
The diode laser focuses on organic and non-metal materials including:
- Wood
- Leather
- Acrylic
- Slate
- Glass
- Rubber
- Paper
- Ceramic
- Cork
- Food engraving
This eliminates the need to purchase separate engraving machines for different materials.
