The 3D engraving machines that we have been making and improving for more than 12 years show that the technicians are professional and highly experienced. In addition, the after-sales service team, an independent R&D laboratory, and a strong research team have been improved.
What’s more; the Operation manual and teaching videos are shipped with the machine. We know that our mission is not only the sale of the equipment but also to help you use the 2D-3D engraving equipment.
What is 3D laser engraving?
The form of engraving known as 3D laser engraving is a special type of engraving that involves either engraving on a three-dimensional surface on multiple edges at once or creating a 3D image with different levels of depth.
The simplest version of 3D laser engraving is when multiple sides of a 3D object are engraved at the same time. For example, if someone wants to engrave a cube, it will take less time to engrave several sides at a time than to do each side individually. This type of engraving equipment uses two or more lasers simultaneously, and the user must have correctly loaded all sides in the program, otherwise, the engraving will output badly.
More commonly, 3D laser engraving is used to create a 3D image with depth. For example, with an ordinary engraver, a flat image with lines suggesting depth will be placed in the material. Sculpting is similar to 3D engraving in that the two dig into the material to create a visually distinct foreground and background. With engraving, this is done via different laser intensities.
Sub-Surface Laser Engraving (SSLE) is a 3D laser engraving method that does not engrave on the surface of the material but under it. This is usually done for crystal or glass, as other non-transparent materials would be unable to display the image. SSLE is used for promotional items and often leaves people scratching or rubbing the surface of the crystal or glass, wondering how the engraver got an image inside the material without leaving a streak on the surface.
Most 3D laser engraving machines have a 3D image configured with a laser engrave picture. Between black and white, there are 256 shades of gray. The closer to white, the less is cut; the closer the black is, the more the material will be cut. By knowing how to properly color an image, the engraver operator will be able to get the right cut in the material.
3d laser engraving for glass trophy
Here again, the laser is surprising. 3d laser engraving allows you to engrave inside a glass trophy. How is it possible? This is the same principle as 2d engraving. Computer-controlled, the movements of the laser are very precise but carried out in several 2d layers. Their layering in the 3d object is so perfect that you think the engraving was done directly inside the object. And the exceptional quality of the patterns provides an aesthetic rendering conducive to commanding admiration.
Laser engraving machines
marking solutions based on fiber laser technology (pulse fiber laser) are economical and highly competitive. The lifespan of the laser source is up to ten times higher than that of YAG-type sources.
Without any mechanical contact, they mark a wide variety of materials, including the most difficult.
It is distinguished by its high precision, it is permanent, silent and of high quality with high contrast.
Integrable laser marking
Our integrated laser system is built around a small head that is easy to attach in any position. The head is controlled by a frame that integrates a laser source, power, and safety. This laser is configured to operate independently, directly connected to PLCs. The laser can be configured to work from a PC base through specific software.
LASER is an advanced solution for all materials
To comply with ISO quality, the traceability of the parts is essential. That is why laser marking is used by manufacturers to automate the marking stages and thus ensure 100% control of their processes. Laser technology consists of irradiating from a source, amplifying the radiation, and directing it through mirrors in the direction of the part to be marked. Radiation creates a chemical reaction in contact with the material.
SIC Marking chose a Ytterbium fiber laser source for its reliability, power, and low cost of operation. The laser is mainly used to mark metal, stainless steel , aluminum, or plastic parts without taking into account their hardness or texture. The laser is recommended for large-scale production when speed and precision are essential.
Conclusion:
Laser engraving, which uses a laser instead of a cutting bit, is better for this 3D process because it can easily dig into the surface without accidentally interfering with or touching previous engraving marks. The image for use with 3D laser engraving is typically taken from a grayscale image, and the operator must know how to calibrate the grayscale to achieve the proper depth and effect. There are also special laser engravers that can engrave below the surface of the glass or crystal to create 3D images inside the material.
