Unlike CO2 lasers, diode lasers, such as the Glowforge Aura , AgloLaser, and xTool come with certain restrictions on the materials they can effectively cut. It's essential to be aware that diode lasers are unable to cut through clear, white, and most transparent colors.Consider the analogy of a car's color to understand how certain colors absorb heat more rapidly in the summer. Similarly, colors that heat up quickly are generally easier to cut with a diode laser. For instance, just as a black car quickly warms up during summer months, black is also identified as the easiest color to cut with a diode laser.

It is also important to note the Glowforge Aura is a low power diode laser, as it is only 5 watts. While something might not perform will on the Glowforge Aura it is possible a higher wattage diode laser could have improved results.
