Glowforge Spark fits material up to 12" x 12", but we recommend materials sized at 8" x 12" or smaller to match the cutting bed area and optimize your print experience. Glowforge Spark works with thicker materials than traditional craft cutters - you can cut materials up to 0.25" thick and engrave objects up to 0.75" high. It cuts and engraves laser-compatible materials including wood, acrylic, leather, veneer, paper and cardboard, and also engraves on denim, mylar, rubber, cork, sandpaper, food, stone, slate, titanium, aluminum, marble, ceramic tile and hundreds more! Glowforge Spark uses a blue, 6-watt, solid-state diode laser, so it is not compatible with glass, clear acrylic, translucent acrylic, white acrylic, some blue acrylics, PVC vinyl, chromium-based materials, carbon-based materials, PTFE/Teflon-based materials, materials containing beryllium oxide or Draftboard®️ materials.

How precise is the Glowforge laser? Glowforge uses a beam of light the width of a human hair to cut and engrave with incredible accuracy to one-thousandth of an inch. It can engrave images in stunning high-resolution comparable to what you see on your phone or computer screen now. Do I need additional software to print with a Glowforge? Nope!
