Laser Engraving detailed designs created on the surface that is used almost all the ingredients. These images have a very high resolution and can have a very good quality. One of the fastest growing used to create photo-engraving photo warnings on durable surfaces such as stone tiles. For all the flexibility of the laser cutters, different materials react differently to etching.
Wood and paper technology, one of the first applications of laser engravers have to burn designs into the wood surface. Wood burns easily, so that can be engraved with a low power laser. Hardwoods such as oak or mahogany best work. soft wood can produce etching depth is not consistent and are known to actually burn during etching. The use of high power laser is recommended for projects. And laminated fiberboard paper work very well with laser engraving. respond Linty papers and newsprint bit like soft wood.
Acrylic plastic is one of the most common plastic used laser engravers. It makes the etching and to produce a piece so large. Another successful plastic made of Bakelite and other hard plastic. soft plastic such as styrene tends to melt engraving produces a softer look, or even disability. This is acceptable or desirable, depending on the purpose of engraving. Plastic Custom designed specifically for laser engraving. This can include silicates to help heat the laser from melting the excess material, or they can be stacked so that the etching reveal the color layer below the surface. Many plastics such as vinyl or silicone just does not work with laser engraving and other methods.
Standard metal metal requires a special, short-wavelength lasers, and because it does not work in most laser engravers. However, metal coated with a fairly well there, not the metal evaporation, laser vaporizes layers to reveal the metal underneath. Common examples are lacquered brass and anodized aluminum.
Stone and glass, stone and glass are difficult to engrave by laser and are often better served by other engraving techniques. laser engraving, however, if successfully used to create distinctive pattern of small fractures, which produce beautiful work and long lasting. Granite is a medium particularly successful when engraved so successful, durability means it will take several decades, even when used for applications such as tile. Glass is often used with sub-surface laser engraving. This image carved on the bottom surface of the glass, often created in three dimensions, amazing memorabilia and other methods can not be carving the same.
Other materials are often successfully used in the carving that looks like burnt skin like iron branding are the same. Latex Rubber is also an effective material and laser engravers often used to make stamps.
