The method for engraving glass by laser engraving machine

February 4th, 2010 by infolaser

The laser can engrave on the surface of glass but its engraving depth is not deep and it can’t cut the glass. Generally speaking, the laser can make the frost melt and crumble result. Under normal circumstances, the user want to get frost melt but not crumble result. The result is mainly up to the texture of glass and whether the hardness is unanimous.

In general, engraving glass is more difficult to control, according to the following steps we can get more smoothing frosting surface:
 
a. Please smear a little detergent on the engraving area, cut off a piece of newspaper or napkin whose area is much bigger than the engraving area, fully steep wet the paper with water, squeeze out the spare water, level the wet paper on the engraving area without wrinkle.

b. Put the glass inside the laser engraver, please start the engraving when the paper is wet. Then take out the glass, clear away the remnant paper and clean the surface of glass. If necessary, we need to polish the surface of glass with 3M scotchBrite. Generally speaking, the laser power needs to be installed much lower, the resolution needs to be installed as 300dpi, we can try to use the big standard lens to engrave.

Note: We need to become more careful when use the laser to engrave the leaded crystal, the leaded crystal has the different expansion coefficient, when engraving we may lead to the crackle or fracture of crystal. We can avoid the problem if we install the laser power much lower but we also need to keep fracture away at any moment.

Clean: After finishing the work, we can clean the glass surface with stupe.

Fills: We can color the glass with acrylic paints.

CNC engraving technology(a)

January 28th, 2010 by infolaser

As is known to all, manual sculpture is a type of craftsmen, it is the engraver labor “high intelligence and high skill” comprehensive activities! Carving a product to depend entirely on the engraver curiosa of art and feeling of materials and the carving techniques, the spirit of diligence, this is not what ordinary people can do, also because so valuable, “sculpture” become a kind of art, a kind of culture and a spiritual symbol!

“Sculpture” is the birthplace of art, but due to the deep processing of cultural connotation and exquisite products to “sculpture” into the effect of industrial production field! “Sculpture” in the early into the industrial production of product form the main work is careful shaping and product details of the text, image design sculpture is to speak their role “make the finishing point”! The traditional manual sculpture is “dao” as the tool, so different from the production efficiency and accuracy are difficult to adapt to the need of industrial production, because art creativity and industrial production before! This application has carved profile milling machine. Mechanical sculpture for “sculpture” into industry plays a great role in promoting, especially the design and character sculpture ability accelerated the development speed of mold and die industry, “the art of engraving” in the process of industrial field is widely used in laid solid foundation!

Along with the development of industrial products, especially the speed of computer design, industrial products widely used form more rich. Change more quickly, this puts forward new requirements for manufacturing of computer control, based on the CNC Engraving equipment into the mechanical processing industry.

Mechanical sculpture is still a manual sculpture, it is elaborately carved product efficiency, batch of finished product consistency, surface of product design, and computer technology carved the interface aspects are obviously disadvantaged and vulnerable hindering the carved in modern industry “, “the application range, so in computer aided design and prompt processing (CAD/CAM) technology, computer numerical control (CNC) as the core technology of CNC engraving on the desk, provoked” sculpture “into the industrial field.

A, CNC engraving technology is introduced

CNC engraving literal definition for computer numerical control technology sculpture, it is in the industrial fields of computer aided design (CAD), the technology of computer aided process technology (CAM), computer numerical control (CNC), technology high speed milling technology (HSM) developed on the basis of the growing process, and according to the particularity of “sculpture” application for comprehensive advertising art design and modelling technology makes the CNC carving a unique professional technology.

The implementation of CNC engraving tools for carving CAD/CAM software and CNC engraving machine, its core is the real carved CAD/CAM software, sculpture and CAD/CAM software analogy to “manual or mechanical carving in the brain the engraver sculpture technology knowledge and design skills of comprehensive application”! Sculpture of CAD/CAM software function complete “sculpture” in modern industry is more a brilliant!

CNC carving as a unique professional technology, and related industries in the following aspects than with distinctive characteristics: precise mapping mechanism and artistic drawing mechanism.

“Sculpture” is an art, its design tool for the designers must provide convenient creative space. “Sculpture” into the industrial field, its design tools must also keep “size precise” by the industrial design principles.

1 surface modeling method and geometric modeling method combined

Along with the expanding application CNC engraving, “sculpture” is no longer just “make the finishing point”, has been gradually penetration into the product design and product processing field, such requirements “sculpture” design tools must have certain surface modeling functions, because “sculpture” is a kind of unique design method, the form is not more products with accurate mathematical functions, depending on the designer’s feeling, the only art surface and geometric surfaces can ensure “hybrid model” in the industrial fields carved more brilliant performance.

2 with high-speed carving techniques and technology

“The connotation of” is fine carving, industry “sculpture” of work undertaken more than 90% is regular “impotent” broadsword, must use small tools work to finish, mechanical engraver to use its rich experience and consummate techniques to avoid breaking, thus ensuring the sculpture efficiency. NC sculpture is controlled by computer, CNC engravers use small tools and sculpting need professional CNC engraving processing technology and craft to support, this is the processing of popular “high speed milling technology (HSM)” : and CNC engraving unique “equal cutting technology”.

3 precision high-speed spindle motor

Using sophisticated high-speed spindle motor is the basic guarantee of high-speed cutting carving. Spindle motor speed precision of “high speed, high precision, low noise, low vibration, high speed constant power” characteristics, such as small tools that can obtain higher speed, high cutting precision, the rotation of the high-speed cutting force produced enough, reducing vibration and beating cutting knife.

The Ultimate Gift Ideas for The Hard to Buy For Person

January 14th, 2010 by infolaser

In virtually everyone’s life there is that one individual that you just cannot figure out what to buy for him or her during holidays and special occasions. For their own particular interests, it seems as if they have everything that they could possibly want. On the other hand, there is the partner, friend, or spouse that you have already gotten everything for. After fifty years of marriage, it can be difficult to find the perfect gift as you have already got them jewelry, stuffed animals, and every other imaginable item that is appropriate for such occasions as anniversaries. Nevertheless, there are still a few good options out there.

Most often gifts are particularly oriented for a specific occasion, but not for a specific person. A gift is just an item that you bought for someone if there is nothing that makes it stand out, that pinpoints it as a one of a kind original for the recipient. Utilizing the concept of custom engraving and carving, all the gifts that you give from this point on can be original. The possible gifts for particular occasions are limitless, but we will attempt to give you a few ideas to get your creative muse started.

First we will cover the anniversary. Traditionally, jewelry is the ideal gift for an anniversary, particularly with women. Diamonds and gold are always the best possible materials, but in no way does that make the gift original. However, an engraving on the inside of the ring will make it a one of a kind and a welcomed gift. Of course, the engraving should be personalized. It should have the individual’s name, or possibly the givers name with a heart next to it. For anniversaries, an engraved date is a good idea to pinpoint the year it was given. This small amount of extra work that you put into this gift will go a long way with your loved one.

For the birthday, the gifts can be anything at all. For an example though, let’s look at the aspect of a young man who has just turned sixteen years old. Let us say that this young man loves the outdoors. The ideal gift here would be a hiking stick. This is simple to come up with, absolutely free, and will be the most cherished item that the boy gets this year. Find a good straight stick, sturdy and in good shape. Strip the bark off of it and utilizing carving tools, or even just a dremmel and a sharp knife, carefully carve a design into the head of it. Then, you can engrave the boys name and the date into the base of the stick somewhere. Slap a coat of stain on it and several coats of polyurethane and you have the gift of a lifetime. Of course, gifts will vary with age and interests, but if it is wood, metal or glass, you can spice it up with custom engraving.

Here’s an excellent idea for the young individual’s first car. A first car is one of the most important things in a youngster’s life. Before giving him or her the car in question, take the key and engrave a heart into it, or possibly a year and the words, first car. Alternately, you could carve the name of the person and the year into the key. The purpose of this is that once the car is gone, the youngster can keep this copy of the key to place on a necklace as a memory item to be cherished always.

There are no limits to the possibilities that engraving and carving can provide in gift giving or special occasions. Just remember to make each engraving or carving pertinent to the individual so that it will always be a special memory of one moment in time when you went the extra mile to make that day special.

laser engraver less investment and quick results

January 14th, 2010 by infolaser

Investment in a laser engraver, we made the brand as an example, a format for processing the machine 60cm * 60cm price of about 3.5 million yuan, processing format for the machine 60cm * 80cm Price around about 42,000 yuan, and the use of carved Pa laser engraver not have two computers with only one on the line, along with about 3,000 Grinding, polishing machine of about 2,000 yuan, with a total combined investment, processing 60Cm * 60cm format for the machine not more than 40,000 yuan, processing 60Cm * 80Cm format for the machine but also super 50,000 yuan. We then calculate a Printer investment costs, the price is about Printer 120,000 yuan, take a look at the needs of the auxiliary equipment, laminating machine of about 5,000, high-end scanning only about 7,000 yuan; high-end configuration Computer 2 Total 12,000 yuan, with at least 10,000 yuan of supplies, and space needed to place a greater need to configure the air-conditioning, humidifier, understand

Photoshop, Coreldraw, such as art design software and design talent, at least the initial 17 NT yuan, the money should be for many people is not a small sum.

Fourth, a wide range of engraving process, the development prospects

Engraving process involves all walks of life and a very wide distribution, there are gifts, advertising industry, the seal industry, wood processing industry, construction, industry, art model, machining, tooling mold and so on. Machinable is a very wide range of materials, including metal, stone, PVC board, ABS board, acrylic, imitation stone, rubber, two-color plates, aluminum plates of various materials and so on. As the laser engraver to understand and master the progressive deepening of the scope of application will be constantly expanding, application level will gradually increase, engraving process there are bound to be more broad prospects.

Fifth, the investment must not be laser engraver

Since social activities with the future of mankind, there is a carving of the industry, along with the development of human society, is now carving industry of an entirely new understanding of the rise of computer engraving process and development are the needs of the development of the times, instead of a computer engraving machine has become an irresistible trend, but the computer should not invest in laser engraver, is that we need to take into careful consideration. Carving industry in the light there is vinyl cutter does not make much money, and no more than subsistence, it is necessary to increase new business, computer engraving process can be the ideal choice is the current, although some areas of computer engraving process instead of business many, but it is the carving of the inevitable trend of development of the industry, it is precisely because of the current small business, some people dare to invest, to take the carving business will have to go to a computer engraving equipment there to do the peer, so that most of the money make a left by others, but now customers are smart, you do not have equipment, do not not look at you, so there is no equipment on the customer means that the loss of money means that the loss of revenue.

Investment in any project, there will be a certain degree of risk, but as long as you seize the opportunity to look ahead, others do not know or not know when the time or do not dare, it is a fierce competition, the profit space of time, but also investment the best time.

Trotec Speedy 300 CO2 laser engraver system.

January 14th, 2010 by infolaser

In 2006 FLAAR received a Trotec Speedy 300 CO2 laser engraver system for review in the FLAAR digital imaging evaluation facility on the campus of BGSU. The staff of CAT (Center for Applied Technology) completed the review after several months of testing.

A Universal M-300 is also in the same testing lab. So over these months we could be evaluating and comparing several brands of CO2 laser engraver and laser cutters.

We see lots of cheap Chinese, and Korean laser engravers at trade shows in Turkey and Europe. These cheap laser engravers are also appearing at US trade shows such as Graphics of the Americas. But we prefer to work with laser engravers made in the US, Europe, Taiwan or Japan, or at least handled (distributed) by well-established companies. GCC would be an example of a brand that has a well established engineering company behind it (in Taiwan) and a network of tech support both in the US and Europe. I am familiar with the capability of GCC as a company since I have spent several days inspecting their factory in Taipai.

Acknowledgements for the Trotec CO2 laser engraver and cutter

The Trotec Speedy 300 laser engraver system was capably installed by Scott Hutchison and Amie McGee. They also provided training to the staff at BGSU.

 

 Trotec Speedy 300 CO2 laser engraver System

 

 Trotec Speedy 300 CO2 laser engraver System Trotec laser engraver in the FLAAR facilities on the campus of BGSU. Prof. Chuck Spontelli and Prof Nicholas Hellmuth admire the new arrival.

Unfortunately, no fault of theirs, the system which was sent by Trotec was an old demo model. It had probably been shipped back and forth across the USA ceaselessly to trade shows and customers. By the time it arrived at our test facilities it was, quite frankly, rather worn out. Certain key portions were out of alignment. But one part that did work well was the exhaust; if you have any brand or model of CO2 laser engraver without an exhaust then you will have vile odors or melted plastic and incinerated acrylic floating around your room that can make your staff sick and definitely will make your staff wish to get out of their offices and stay away. The Trotec exhaust worked well.

But overall I was disappointed. The system required a design software that most artists and graphic designers on our university campus seldom used. And my impression was that only a few materials could be handled well. But possibly the misalignment and aging components of being a used (and probably previously abused) system doomed this particular model. Maybe if Trotec had sent a brand new model it would have functioned better. Considering that this machine is made in Austria I expected much better performance. I lived in Austria for eight years, indeed by PhD is from Karl-Franzens Universitaet in Graz, Austria, so I can vouch for the general kind of product that you expect for Austria. But in many respects our more economical model of Universal CO2 laser engraver / cutter worked better than this expensive Trotec. So if you compare prices the only advantage of the Trotec was the ventilation/exhaust system. But you can obtain other brands of CO2 laser engravers and cutters also with a ventilation and exhaust system.

Now, in 2009, FLAAR is considering retesting CO2 laser engravers and cutters, both for signage, for cutting materials to create architectural models, and for traditional awards engraving. I see the Universal brand of laser engraver at most of the trade shows that I visit around the world, so this may be the brand that we evaluate next.

Lasered Garden Signs

September 10th, 2009 by infolaser

it’s planting time again! a great way to spiff up your garden (or those of your clients) is with these garden signs you can use to identify your plants and their growing habits. we used wood and acrylic to make these signs, with great results, but engraveable plastics would be a good material to use as well. add your family name to the bottom of each sign, or if you’re really ambitious, find a picture of each flower to engrave on the signs.

1)when you open the file in coreldraw, you will see 6 signs lined up, three with flower pictures on it, three without. 

2)if you know a good place to find pictures of flowers (such as microsoft’s clipart site), you can add pictures of each flower to your signs, like we did on the cala lily file.

3)now, taking all your pieces you just cut out you will want to start peeling off the tape from the back of each piece and placing it onto the parts of the bouquet and lining them up with the light vector lines you cut in step one. use the flowers.cdr file to help you find where the pieces of the completed bouquet belong.

there you have it….your beautiful array of flowers wrapped up as a bouquet for that special someone for any occasion!

4)for the flowers in your garden, you can use the information off of the seed packets or the signs that come with the plants. put in the type of plant, its latin name, growing habits, or anything you would like to include. 

5)we set up the signs with the name of the family garden on the bottom, and you can change it to your own family name. 

6)when you have your files all set up, send them to the laser engraver to be engraved and cut. if you are creating the signs in acrylic, be sure to reverse the image and engrave it from behind the sign for a better result.

Mens Modern Jewellery on a Budget

September 8th, 2009 by infolaser

Mens Jewellery is evolving with the introduction of steel, titanium and Zirconium for wedding rings.

With the threat of recession looming and the credit crunch beginning to bite, people generally are starting to feel the pinch and the need to make savings is evident. No matter what, it is fair to say that people will always want to get married but they are now looking for value for money rather than a big lavish affair costing many thousands of pounds.

Wedding rings for men are of course must have items but tastes are changing and the big influences on choice are not only style but cost.

Huge price increases in the price of platinum means that this is now the choice of but a few as is 18ct gold. Quality wedding rings made from these metals are now easily costing four figure sums which is beyond the reach of most people.

Plain gold wedding bands whilst still popular and affordable, have been superseded by other more affordable materials such as silver, steel, zirconium and titanium.

Whilst silver is a relatively soft metal, steel, zirconium and titanium are all particularly suitable metals for wedding rings because of their durability and hypoallergenic qualities. These metals also lend themselves well to the making of modern style wedding rings. Silver although softer, can be cast into a many styles whereas titanium, zirconium and steel are generally limited to band type wedding rings.

This does not limit designs though and the number or styles are limitless especially with access to a laser engraver which means you can have just about anything you like on the ring. Our most popular wedding rings are those with engraved patterns or dates set in Roman numerals where by the ring is customised with special dates or names and personal messages.

Metals can be mixed and rings are often inlaid with with precious metals or set with precious stones.

Zirconium has unusual properties and when heated will turn a different colour. Whilst all colours of the rainbow are achievable, our most popular and stylish is black for mens jewellery.

It is really all down to personal taste but there are now many alternatives to the plain gold wedding rings that were the norm many years ago.

laser engraver used in many processes aplication

September 8th, 2009 by infolaser

In order to know and master the methods of operation of the laser engraver and technological requirements of the processing industry made a simple summary. Large engraver, carving the corresponding area of the greater effect will be almost carved. Engraver beams because the longer the area will appear more serious resonance (vibration). Half-cut is a more complicated process, often used in fabric industry, mobile phone keys, reflective materials and so on. Floor flatness requirements are very high, generally made laser tube can be adapted to meet the requirements. Concrete engraving speed and light intensity, the material on the different users of different combinations of the parameters are not the same, more or less the situation is:

 

1, carton packaging industry (rubber plate)

Carving rubber version is mainly YM Series models, the general choice of focus 50mm lens, the use of PLT and BMP format two. main application PLT. Two formats have the advantages of a concrete analysis of specific situations. When the carving of the word high is greater than 10mm or greater than 1.5mm line pattern of strokes, you can way to a show 7mm rubber version of the ordinary single-layer as an example, when the surface of wet newspaper with leak jet Cup, to prevent blowing gas had blown up a lot of wet newspaper, so that hook up to make a more delicate line. At this point the general speed :0.5-adjusted to 0.8 meters / min, faster, bigger serrated; adjustment of light intensity as follows: 20% -50%. As adjusted for the different depth, if you want some more light intensity up to 60% -70%. Rubber is a two-tier version of: 4mm double-rubber version of light to reach 1.5mm depth, the speed of 0.5 meters are generally transferred / min, light intensity of 45%, as the case may be. If you carved the words, when a high degree of less than 10mm, when the general use of sculpture, this time to adjust to the speed of the general :10-15 m / min; light intensity adjustment for the top 18% -28% deep, depth 55% -75% , the gradient between 0.8-1.5, the resolution is generally 500-600dpi, text more or less dense, light intensity should be set too low, and the gradient is relatively more in small settings.
