Benefits of Laser engraving
There
are certain advantages to using a laser over other conventional tools.
One is that the laser produces its engraved mark with a non-contact
method. Therefore the wear and tear associated with conventional
tooling is not present. This also reduces potential product damage and
deformation.
The mark is permanent, concise and clean. Lasers also can engrave
faster than many conventional methods, Lasers also have the advantage
of engraving onto materials that are un-engraveable by other methods.
This includes wood and other materials. In addition, the same machine
that can engrave also can be used to cut through most materials far
more intricately and precisely than ANY other method
This application is commonly used for corporate-branding, personal identification and/or serialization.
Laser engraving is one of the most stunning ways to decorate leather.
No other method can produce as fine of detail as laser engraving. The
most common applications are for personalized items such as wallets and
key fobs.
Fabric cutting can be accomplished very easily with
a laser. Cutting of cotton and polyester are just two of the many
fabrics that can be cut. Whether it's for a rugby jersey or for an
armrest of a couch, the applications for cutting fabrics are nearly
endless.
Laser engraved ceramics have the advantage of permanent
mark without mechanical contact with the material or the use of
chemicals/abrasives. Engraving of text, graphics and logos is
common.Marking of anodized aluminum with a CO2 laser by has many
advantages. It is a non-contact process, which leaves the anodized
layer intact and maintains its corrosion resistance. Any anodizing
color, including clear, can be used and the results are a nearly white
marking with no heat distortion or exposed bare metal. Secondary
processing can allow for additional colors to be used on the marked
areas for special appearance needs.
