Being ahead of 8-ball technology is the key to the success of any business. The same goes for the Laser pointer industry. Laser technology makes your business one of the success stories.
This article will outline some of the ways that your business can get the most value from lasers. If you don’t know, the laser is a laser engraving machine developed by Trotec, which has both a fiber laser and a CO2 laser source in one machine. More information here!
Lasers will not cut certain materials-smaller and cheaper laser engravers use smaller and cheaper lasers. Obviously, low-power laser engraving is not good. However, many cheap laser engraving machines still do not meet their advertising standards. Just because a company says their laser can cut materials up to 1/2 inch thick does not mean that it can cut materials of any thickness. Materials such as acrylic and cork may work well, but plywood and MDF containing glue may prove the challenge of low laser.
Insufficient laser engraver power-Cheap laser cutting machines usually advertise the laser power used, ranging from 100W to 50W or even lower. A sneaky company might advertise with "1500mW" instead of "1.5W", using a larger number to make it look like a laser light is more powerful. If you mainly use paper as a material, you can use a 1.5W laser, but not in other ways. We also heard stories about the 50W laser that can actually only output 32W power-you are lucky to use it to cut into a loaf of bread.
The upper left of the picture has been laser engraved. Just like the CO2 blue laser pointer we use on MBJD Laser, it may be the same. The lower right part of the photo shows leather embossing. Both styles are impressive, but as you can see, they are two completely different looks.
The reason for this is to help the public understand the difference between the two. Laser engraving on leather basically uses blue laser pointer controlled burn to remove very thin leather parts while burning them to dark brown/black. As you can see in the photo, the laser engraving is very dark and pops up. The embossing of leather is more like a 3D pressing appearance. I like to explain embossing like this. When you were young, you could play games in Play Doh, pushing your fingers into Play Doh, and when you remove your fingers, you can still see the dents in Play Doh. This is basically the process of embossing leather.
