Will Laser Engraving Wear Off?

Laser engraving is based on numerical control technology with laser as the processing medium, it is one of the most advanced technologies in the field of engraving, and it is rapidly gaining market share at the moment when it is booming. However, there are already some concerns about whether laser engraving will disappear from the market.

Factors Affecting Laser Engraving

With the rapid development of optoelectronic technology, laser engraving technology has been applied more and more widely, and the requirement of engraving precision is higher and higher.

The four most fundamental factors that affect laser engraving are: engraving speed, laser power, engraving precision and material.

• Engraving speed

Engraving speed refers to the speed at which the laser head moves, usually represented by an IPS. In the 1% to 100% range, the adjustment of laser engraving machine is 1%.

Speed is also used to control the depth of the engraving. For a given laser intensity, the slower the speed the laser engraving machine is, the greater the engraving or engraving depth is. You can adjust the speed by using the laser engraving machine panel or the printing driver of the computer.

• Laser Power

Engraving intensity refers to the intensity of the laser engraving that is fired at the surface of the material. For a given sculpting speed, the greater the strength, the greater the depth of the engraving or engraving. You can use the engraving machine panel to adjust the intensity as well.

• Engraving precision

Laser engraving is divided into lattice engraving and vector engraving according to engraving precision.

• Lattice engraving

The laser head swings from side to side, engraving a line composed of a series of points at a time. Then the laser head moves up and down simultaneously to carve a number of lines, and finally forms the whole image or text. Scan graphics, text and vectorized text can be used lattice engraving.

• Vector engraving

Unlike lattice engraving, vector engraving is carried out on the outer contour line of the image and text. We usually use this pattern to cut through wood, acrylic, paper and other materials.

To achieve a certain engraving effect on a specific material, it is required to absorb a certain amount of laser energy, which should be regarded as the laser energy absorbed by the material = laser power/engraving speed. Simply speaking, it is to increase the laser energy absorbed by the material, it is necessary to increase the laser power or reduce the engraving speed, and the final method depends on the material and the final engraving effect. Generally speaking, users will avoid reducing the speed and thus the production efficiency. Actually, it is not only the engraving speed but also the engraving precision that influences the engraving efficiency.

Features Of Laser Engraving

Laser engraving machine uses laser high energy and high efficiency, which will contribute to more rapid production and processing. Laser engraving machine has developed to the present and transferred from the traditional manual operation to the computer control, the entire processing process is through the numerical control system for control and operation. Here are the features of laser engraving.

• Extensive range

The laser engraving machine can engrave and cut almost any nonmetallic material.

• Safe & Reliable

Laser engraving doesn't cause mechanical extrusion or stress on the material, and it doesn't "scratch" the surface of the workpiece or deform the material.

• Accurate & Detailed

The machining accuracy of laser engraving machine can reach 0.02mm.

• Eco-friendly

Laser engraving processing saves materials and is safe and hygienic.

Future Of Laser Engraving

With the development and popularization of laser engraving machine in application technology and technology, the manufacture and sales of laser engraving machine for plane marking show a good rising trend. Domestic companies engaged in the development, manufacture and sales of laser engraving machine, as well as the agent of foreign laser engraving machine companies rapidly increase. Competition is getting fiercer and fiercer.

However, at present, all the laser engraving machines in the domestic market is still in the laser plane engraving stage, and no company or scientific research unit can develop the 3d laser engraving system. Some fine 3d engraving still relies on computer engraving or hand engraving. However, both mechanical engraving and manual engraving have great weaknesses and limitations, which restrict the development of some fine crafts. There are many domestic laser research institutions engaged in laser engraving machine research.

3D laser engraving machine is a machine using precision CAD software technology. It can be applied not only in the finishing field of general products, but also in the field of mold manufacturing. This is the development direction of laser engraving.

To sum up, laser engraving will not only not disappear, in the future and great development. As you can see, joining laser engraving enterprise is a clear choice. If you are interested in laser engraving machine, welcome to our company to purchase, you will never regret cooperate with us.
