Laser glass and mirror processing
Fiber laser processing for mirror and decorative glass
A large-format fiber laser machine for mirror backing removal, film/coating removal, marking, hole processing, and decorative glass or mirror work. It is positioned for shops that need digital processing without traditional masking in selected applications.
What this machine is for
Large-format fiber laser systems for mirror coating removal, marking, selected hole processing, and digital decoration. The distinguishing capability is precision on coated surfaces — removing coating in a defined pattern without physically abrading the substrate.
Typical work
- Mirror coating removal for transparent windows and logos within mirror
- Marking and digital decoration
- Selected hole and detail processing
- Work where abrasive methods are too coarse or leave unwanted texture
Applications
- Mirror backing and coating removal
- Glass and mirror marking
- Decorative etching effects
- Hole or shape processing on selected configurations
- Custom mirror artwork and architectural panels
Laser versus sandblasting
They solve different problems. Sandblasting abrades the surface to create frost, and is the efficient choice for large frosted areas. A laser removes coating or marks with digital precision and no masking step — no film to cut, weed, apply, or peel.
For mirror deletion specifically, laser is generally the appropriate tool: sandblasting removes the coating but leaves the glass frosted, whereas mirror deletion usually requires the glass to stay clear.
Shops running both typically use laser for coating work and fine detail, and sandblasting for volume frosting.
Main Features
2-in-1 and 4-in-1 configurations
MC series focuses on coating or film removal and marking; MP series adds more processing functions.
Large working areas
Machine sizes cover common architectural panels up to very large formats.
Fiber laser source
Reference laser life up to 100,000 hours under proper working conditions.
High repeat precision
Mechanical repeat accuracy and laser repeat accuracy support detailed digital processing.

Consumables and Support
We can help choose MC or MP series by process requirement, glass size, coating type, and expected output. Spare and service support can include optics, laser-source guidance, control parts, and operator training.
What comes with the machine
Every machine ships with roughly three years of wear parts for normal production. After that they are industrial standard components — inexpensive and sourceable locally. No proprietary lock-in. See Warranty & Support.
Warranty
Motors, control system, and drives carry a five-year warranty.
Lead time and delivery
Built to order: typically 10–30 days production plus 20–30 days ocean transit. ArtCut handles customs clearance. See Shipping & Lead Times.
Support once it arrives
Installation guidance, operator training, and troubleshooting from the U.S. during U.S. business hours — phone, WhatsApp, or video.
Frequently asked questions
Can it cut through glass?
This is a surface processing system — coating removal, marking, decoration, and selected hole work — not a glass cutting machine. Describe your intended application and we will confirm whether it is suitable.
Does it need masking film?
No. The pattern is driven digitally from your file, which is a major advantage on complex or one-off designs where cutting and weeding a mask would dominate the job time.
What mirror types does it work with?
It processes standard mirror coatings. Coating chemistry varies by supplier, so tell us the specific product you run and we will confirm before you order.
What are the ventilation and safety requirements?
Laser processing requires appropriate extraction and enclosure. We will cover requirements as part of quoting so your installation is compliant from day one.
Ready to discuss your glass processing line?
Send glass size, process type, production volume, and destination country. We will recommend a practical configuration and quotation.
