Balsa Wood

2mm balsa cuts in 2 passes at 6W. Balsa's open cellular structure absorbs the beam efficiently — one of the few materials the S6 Pro cuts reliably. Good for model making and architectural scale models where thin precise cuts are needed.

2mm balsa cuts in 2 passes at 5W. Balsa's open cell structure absorbs the beam efficiently making it one of the few materials that cuts reliably at 5W. Use a pin bed to prevent balsa from lifting. Good for model making and architectural scale models.

2mm balsa cuts in 2 passes at 5W. Balsa is the most cuttable material for low-power diodes — the open cell structure absorbs the beam well. Use a pin bed to hold down the light balsa sheets during cutting. Great for model aircraft parts and scale prototypes.
