Basics
- Using A Laser to burn and/or melt materials partially to engrave them with images or text
- Can be of use for packaging, as ink/paper may not be required for labels
- Also Part Version and other information can physically be on the part without adding physical features like a Relief etc which may affect performance
- Laser Engraving is much faster than CNC Engraving etc too so it may also make sense merely from a Production Engineering standpoint
Materials
Cardboard/Paper
Wood
- Easy to do even with small diode lasers
Metals
- What wattage is needed?
Internal Links
- Bubblegram a similar concept with acrylic
- Laser Cutter / Laser Engraver / Laser Table
- Thermal Engraving / Woodburning / Branding
- Stamping / 3D Printed Stamp
