    I don't understand the question. What are you looking for the laser to do. If you want to engrave acrylic, or wood or most any no metal substrate you need a c02 laser engraver /cutter.Pending on the thickness of your materials anywhere from a 25 watt up to about 80 watts for engraving, if your mostly cutting then as high as you can afford I suppose.

    the material is acrylic? I think it's not difficult to do it, what you need to do is to design the file on coreldraw

    Are you looking for a Laser Engraver or a software program?????
    If your looking for a Laser engraver to engrave acrylic like I said before you need a C02 laser of 25 to 60 watts. They will also cut acrylic up to about 5 or 6 mm.
    If your looking for a software program to design the engraving you want to do then corel draw is what most people with laser engraver use.
