What Is Custom Laser Engraving?
Laser engraving, cutting and marking have been used in industrial environments for decades. However, in recent years, smaller and more affordable laser engraving machines have been invented, opening them up to small business owners and keen entrepreneurs. In some cases, you'll use a laser engraving machine to cut the material all the way through, but it's more commonly used to add design, touch up, and personalize gifts, trophies, and souvenirs.
Laser technology is widely used in optical storage, military and defense, medical devices, heat treatment, automotive and aerospace. You also don't need to have specialized learning to use these machines. They work with 2D images created using a computer and entered digitally into the machine. Personalized laser designs are easy to create and personalized engraving machines are simple to use.
There are several different types of carving you can use to personalize the perfect gift for your needs:
Laser Engraving: In this instance, the laser cuts through the surface of the material, resulting in a cavity shaped according to the customer's chosen design. You can feel and see the laser engraving, which gives the gift a pleasing touch and attractive beauty. The maximum depth of carving is usually about 0.02 inches - any deeper may cause excessive burns or warping.
Laser Marking: In laser marking, a low-power laser beam interacts with a special coating on the surface of a material to form a surface design. In this case, the material surface remains smooth but the design is clearly visible.
Laser Etching: Laser etching is a delicate process where the laser generates only enough heat to form a surface mark on the surface of your chosen material. The etched area melts and expands, resulting in a raised finish with enhanced contrast. Laser etching never goes deeper than 0.001 inches into the material, making it ideal for electroplating metals, polymers, and ceramics.
You can add custom designs for individual products, or set the laser engraver machine for mass production. With some practice, you'll be able to add graphics, names, logos, quotes, and everything in between to any material compatible with your laser engraving machine.
Suitable Materials For Custom Engraving
Personalized engraving machine can only use the right material to make a beautiful gift. Some substrates work better than others when it comes to etching, marking, and engraving, so be sure to check the manufacturer's manual before starting the task. You'll need to adjust the Settings of the laser depending on the material you're using, but there are many to choose from:
SLATE, marble, granite, trouble stone and other stone can be laser carving.
Glass can be used for a variety of purposes, from glassware with letter combinations to sanitary cutting boards.
Plastic can be used for name brands and key chains, as well as mobile phone cases, acrylic business cards and signs.
Metal usually needs to be coated with a substance that allows you to etch the surface to make personalized spoons, stainless steel cocktail glasses, and phone cards.
You can laser etch many different types of wood to make custom photo frames, wine boxes, gift boxes, decorations, and baby blocks.
Leather works well with laser cutters, but it takes practice to make personalized passport holders, purses, dog collars, bracelets and book covers.
Jewelry, of course, is one of the most popular personalized items.
You can even carve photos on glass, stone, metal, plastic, and wood.
