Find answers about compatible materials, cutting capacity,
software, camera positioning, cooling, safety, maintenance
and accessories for the Carverall C1.
What materials can the Carverall C1 engrave and cut?
The C1 can engrave and cut wood, plywood, MDF, acrylic,
leather, paper, cardboard, cork, rubber, fabric and other
CO₂-laser-compatible materials. It can also engrave glass,
stone, ceramic and coated or anodized metal surfaces.
Because material composition varies, we recommend testing
a small sample before processing the final project.
How thick can the Carverall C1 cut?
Under suitable conditions, the 40W C1 can cut
wood up to 15 mm and
acrylic up to 10 mm. Maximum cutting
capacity may require multiple passes and depends on
material density, glue content, focus, air-assist airflow,
laser power and cutting speed.
Can the C1 cut clear or transparent acrylic?
Yes. The C1 uses a 10.6 μm CO₂ laser that can cut many
clear, transparent, translucent and colored acrylic sheets.
This is an important advantage over blue diode lasers,
which generally cannot process transparent acrylic
effectively.
Can the C1 engrave or cut metal?
The 40W C1 cannot cut metal. It can engrave coated,
painted or anodized metal by removing the surface coating.
Bare stainless steel and other uncoated metals normally
require a compatible laser-marking spray. For direct or
deep metal engraving, a fiber laser is more suitable.
What is the working area of the C1?
The C1 provides a large
620 × 350 mm working area, making it
suitable for larger signs, acrylic projects, decorations
and batch production of smaller items. The maximum
specified workpiece height is 75 mm.
Does the C1 include a camera?
Yes. The C1 features an HD camera for visual positioning,
work-area preview and automatic edge detection. The camera
helps align designs with the material and supports contour
cutting for printed graphics and irregularly positioned
workpieces.
Is LightBurn compatible with the C1?
Yes. The C1 supports both LightBurn and Carverall’s
CutLabX software. LightBurn provides advanced design and
laser-control tools, while CutLabX offers a simpler,
beginner-friendly workflow. CutLabX supports Windows and
macOS.
What file formats does the C1 support?
Supported formats include JPG, JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, PLT,
HPGL and DXF. Actual import and output options may vary
depending on whether you use CutLabX or LightBurn.
Does the C1 require assembly?
The C1 is delivered largely assembled. After unpacking,
connect the required cables, water-cooling system, air
pump and exhaust hose, install the software, focus the
laser and perform a material test before beginning your
first project.
Are water cooling and air assist included?
Yes. The C1 includes a water-cooling system and air pump.
Water cooling helps maintain a stable laser-tube
temperature during longer jobs. Air assist helps reduce
smoke and burn marks, protects the lens and improves
cutting-edge quality.
Does the C1 require external ventilation?
Yes. CO₂ laser engraving and cutting can produce smoke,
odors and airborne particles. Connect the included exhaust
hose to a safe outdoor location or use a suitable smoke
purifier when working indoors.
What materials should never be processed with the C1?
Do not process PVC, vinyl or unknown materials that may
release toxic or corrosive gases when heated. Also avoid
highly reflective materials or materials with unknown
chemical compositions until their laser compatibility has
been confirmed by the manufacturer.
Can the C1 engrave tumblers and cylindrical objects?
Yes. The C1 supports an optional rotary attachment for
engraving compatible cylindrical and curved objects such
as tumblers, bottles, cups and round containers. Confirm
the object diameter, weight and available internal height
before selecting a rotary accessory.
Is the C1 suitable for beginners?
Yes. The enclosed design, camera positioning, air assist,
water cooling and compatibility with CutLabX and LightBurn
make the C1 suitable for both beginners and experienced
makers. New users should begin with recommended settings
and run a small material test before every new project.
Is the C1 safe for home or studio use?
The C1 uses an enclosed design and includes an emergency
stop button, limit switches, safety sensors and a
protective viewing window. However, proper ventilation,
active supervision and fire-safety precautions are still
required. Never leave the machine unattended while it is
operating.
What voltage versions are available?
The C1 is available in regional
110V and 220V versions. Select the version
that matches the electrical standard in your destination
country and confirm the plug type before ordering.
How large and heavy is the C1?
The machine measures approximately
900 × 640 × 251 mm and weighs about
16.22 kg. The complete system with the water-cooling unit,
air pump and honeycomb panel weighs approximately 25 kg.
A strong, level workbench is recommended.
How long does the CO₂ laser tube last, and can it be replaced?
The CO₂ laser tube is a replaceable consumable. Its actual
service life depends on operating power, cooling-water
temperature, duty cycle, working environment and
maintenance. Keeping the cooling system clean and avoiding
unnecessary continuous operation at maximum power can help
extend tube life.
What regular maintenance does the C1 require?
Regularly clean the lens and mirrors, remove debris from
the work area, inspect the exhaust and air-assist paths,
check mirror alignment and maintain clean cooling water at
the recommended temperature. Disconnect the machine from
power before cleaning or servicing it.
What warranty and after-sales support are included?
The current C1 offer includes a
12-month warranty and 24-hour online
after-sales support. Customers can contact Carverall for
software setup, operating guidance, troubleshooting and
replacement-part assistance. Coverage is subject to the
applicable warranty terms and exclusions.

A multi-layer wooden Mandala has always been the ultimate project I wanted to challenge, and the Carverall C1 helped me pull it off perfectly! This work involves several layers of intricate wood cutout cutting. The power output of the C1's CO2 laser is very stable, leaving absolutely no un-cut lines on such fine geometric patterns. What satisfies me the most is its excellent scorch mark control; the cut edges are very clean, making the 3D and color gradient effects incredibly stunning after assembly. If you love complex wood crafts, you can't go wrong with this machine.

Absolutely amazing! I used the Carverall C1 to create a delicate acrylic Eiffel Tower night light. The machine first engraved the complex steel grid texture of the tower extremely finely on the transparent acrylic sheet, and then accurately cut out the outer contour. When I plugged it into the wooden luminous base, the light refracted along the engraved textures, sparkling in the dark. The effect is incredibly dreamy. For anyone wanting to start a small custom gift business, this machine is definitely an indispensable tool.

I used the Carverall C1 CO2 laser machine to engrave a vintage motorcycle engineering exploded view on black acrylic, and its precision truly blew me away! Even the extremely tiny text instructions and complex engine cross-section mechanical structures were rendered clearly and sharply. The white engraved marks have a very high contrast against the black background. The detail expression of this machine is absolutely perfect for hardcore mechanical drawings or industrial-style decor. It totally exceeded my expectations!

As a Dragon Ball fan, I used the Carverall C1 to make this Goku transparent acrylic stand. It perfectly combines the engraving and cutting functions—the frosted white effect engraved on the facial lines and hair is very vivid, while the outer contour cutting is as smooth as slicing through butter. The edges are extremely clean and transparent, requiring almost no post-polishing. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to make anime merch or acrylic stands. The C1's laser spot is incredibly fine!

The kids and I used the Carverall C1 to make a super cute wooden DIY craft—a little animal character wearing a hat with a small lantern next to it. Not only does the C1 cut wood very fast, but the depth of the engraved lines is also very uniform. This made it very easy for us to paint the wood later, as the colors didn't bleed over the borders. This machine is not only suitable for professional makers but also great for family creative craft projects. It's safe and really easy to use!
