Are you sure you will use a small laser engraving machine?
For industries that use small laser engraving machines or DIY enthusiasts for a long time, there are always more or fewer problems with laser engraving. The parameters and methods of laser engraving are different for different materials. So how do you adjust these to achieve the desired results? Today, we offer advice on different materials and how to use the machine.
1. Can the engraving machine really engrave the glass? What is its flaw?
The first thing to know is that not all glass is flat. Although you may think that you need to buy more expensive and expensive glass to get better results, this is not the case. Many of our customers use the glassware of the wholesaler for engraving, and the engraving effect is also very good.
2. Some suggestions for carving wood and hardwood?
When carving hardwood, we recommend covering the surface of the wood so that the residue can be reduced to the engraving area and it is easy to clean.
Use the "bottom up" modeling mode. In the laser engraving machine software, you can change the way the laser head works, allowing you to engrave from bottom to top, not from top to bottom. The advantage of this is that as the laser head moves, the smoke and debris can be pulled down into the engraving area.
After the engraving is completed, wash it with some debonding agent. Because hardwood glue turns black when burned at high temperatures.
We will give you some advice on sculpting glass:
With a lower resolution, you can get better results, about 300DPI.
Change the black part of the figure to 80% black to improve the quality of the engraving.
We have found that placing a wet towel on the glass helps to heat and improve the quality of the sculpture, but make sure it is not wrinkled.
Apply a thin layer of soap to the area you want to cut with your fingers or paper towel, which also helps to heat the body.
3. If you have an order for leather cutting, can you use a small laser engraving machine?
Laser engraving or cutting leather is right, we have many customers in this industry, laser engraving machine is far beyond your imagination.
4. What should I pay attention to when carving on plywood (plywood) or light wood?
This material is more suitable for use in the field of cutting rather than engraving because the texture of the plywood may be uneven and there are different layers of glue inside. When you are carving on it, the material is very important, uneven, or a lot of glue, especially less will affect the engraving effect. Of course, if you find a better quality plywood, the engraving effect is still very good, such as woodcut painting.
5. Apple computer, can you use a small laser engraving machine?
Our system can run Windows-based design software, and most of our customers choose CAD and CorelDRAW. Mac can't connect directly to our system, but you can install a virtual machine to run Windows and use our machine.
