Laser engraving is a great way to customize items for personalization, branding, and other purposes. Here are some things to consider when choosing a laser engraver.
What is Laser Engraving?
There are two main types of lasers used in laser engraving: carbon dioxide (CO2) and excimer.
CO2 lasers use a chemical reaction to produce light, while excimer lasers use electrical discharge to generate light. Both types of lasers are capable of producing very high power levels, making them ideal for engraving small details onto large surfaces.
Laser Engraving Processes
Laser engravers work by using a focused beam of light to etch designs into metal, plastic, glass, wood, ceramic, and many other materials. The process is similar to what happens when you use a pen or pencil to write on paper. However, instead of writing, the laser creates a permanent mark.
CO2 lasers use a gas mixture called helium and oxygen to create the intense heat needed to cut through metals and plastics. Diode lasers use electricity to generate heat, which makes them much smaller than CO2 lasers. Both types of lasers can be used to engrave almost anything, from jewelry to signs to furniture.
Laser engravers come in many different shapes and sizes, from handheld units to large industrial machines. The most common type of laser engraver is the desktop unit, which usually has a built-in computer and software. These units are easy to use and relatively inexpensive. However, if you want to get the best results, you should invest in a professional-grade machine or choose JRT Industries to do all your laser engraving.
