A Simple Introduce of 2/3D Laser Engraving Machine Technology

Laser Machine can be used to cut or engrave. Laser Engraving Machines specialize in creating 3D images on a variety of materials. 3D engraving technology has opened new avenues for artwork to be displayed on woods, acrylics and even specialty materials like IKONMetal.

Designing 3D images takes some time but the end results will be breathtaking. The key to 3D laser engraving is to understand the software you are working with. You need to be able to shade your drawing in gray to give the depth desired in your image. The grayscaled drawing to the right previews what a laser ready 3D image should look like. SOLUTION LASER's Laser software is one of the very few on the market which will accept true 8-bit or 256 different colors of gray for resolution. That means there are 256 different power levels from black to white, which correlates to the 256 different levels of gray between black and white. There are many brands of software on the market that will allow you to design in 8-bit grayscale. Some of them include: CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. More advanced softwares include: ArtCAM and Cimigrafi. If time does not permit the learning of the drawing software programming artists are available to develop your files at a reasonable charge.

The process can be as simple as taking your artwork, and printing it to the laser using custom printer driver. Resolutions from 50dpi - 1200dpi are also commonly used. Laser engraving speeds are determined by the material being engraved, the size of the part being engraved, the depth desired, and the size of the laser that is used. Laser Machine can be customized to fit application needs.

3D portrait laser subsurface engraving system consists of laser subsurface engraving machine and 3D camera. laser subsurface engraving machine obtains the following characteristics: first, take a 3D photo of one or more persons with a 3D camera and process it in computer to form 3D portraits; second, utilizing laser focusing technology, it can engrave 3D everlasting portraits inside big crystals. With the development of material life, people pay more attention to the pursuance of spiritual individuality. Therefore, with a broad market, the 3D subsurface engraved portraits are becoming more and more popular.

2D laser engraving can be effectively achieved at full speed on our laser systems. The laser has to be exactly focused so that the focal point, which is about 10 micrometers wide, works with absolute precision. It is crucial for the laser to hit the surface vertically - otherwise the focus becomes distorted and the sharp microstructure blurs.A scanner controls the precise movement of the laser and lays down the desired pattern on the component. The resolution used to laser engrave will determine the quality of the finished artwork.
