Can a Vantix fiber laser cut reflective metals like copper and brass?

Short answer

Yes. Copper, brass and aluminum are all on the supported material list. Reflective metals were a genuine constraint for older CO2 laser technology, not for a modern fiber machine.

The full answer

Yes. Copper, brass and aluminum are all on the supported material list for Vantix fiber laser cutting systems.

Reflective metals were a genuine constraint for older CO2 laser technology, which is where the concern originally comes from. The fiber wavelength is absorbed far more efficiently by these metals, which is why they sit within normal operating range on a modern fiber machine.

If reflective material is a large share of your work rather than an occasional job, say so during sizing so the configuration accounts for it.
