Hand engraving is an old-school technique where a hand tool is used to etch any pattern into something. Laser engraving simplifies the task with a computer-operated (or a standalone) CNC machine even with finer details. In this article, we will…
If you want to know more about the differences between Plasma cutting & Laser cutting, this article is the right one. It covers the overall technical aspects of both laser cutting & plasma cutting. What is Laser Cutting? In laser cutting,…
UV lasers use ultraviolet light for high precision and minimal thermal impact on delicate materials, while fiber lasers use optical fibers to amplify light, providing high power and efficiency for cutting and engraving tougher materials like metals. The debate between UV laser and fiber laser technologies has been ongoing for some time now. While they both offer unique advantages and features, the debate comes down to which one is the better choice in terms of performance, cost, and versatility. In this article, we will explore the differences between the two technologies and discuss the pros and cons associated with each. We will also examine the applications for which each technology is best suited. With this information, you can make an informed decision about which one is the right choice for you.…
Many of us still confuse ourselves with the terms ‘CNC’ and ‘Laser cutter’. We will discuss them here and make a comparison that aims to clarify your queries. In a nutshell, CNC is a mechanism and laser cutters are a…
A rotary attachment is an additional module that helps to engrave cylindrical objects such as mugs, vases, and bottles. In easy words, the rotary keeps the material rolling and the laser beam engraves according to its rolling speed. This genius…
Setting the accurate parameters in Lightburn will help in the best laser engraving. We aim to bring the top 8 Lightburn settings that help you to set the best canvas for your Co2 laser. Ensuring the right laser engraving settings…
3d laser engraving involves melting/removing material from the horizontal & vertical depth by the laser beam to visualize a particular design. Any powerful CO2, diode & fiber lasers can do it as the main complexity remains at the design end.…
We often get confused between a fiber laser and an infrared laser. A fiber laser has a laser wavelength of 780-1100 nm whereas an infrared laser makes only a 1064 nm wavelength laser beam. A fiber laser is powerful, expensive,…
Portable lasers are available in the price range of $600 to $2500. The price varies depending on the power and material adaptability. Most people choose a portable diode + infrared laser for larger material compatibility while some people still prefer…
Infrared laser engravers (IR lasers) are becoming popular mainly due to their portability and ability to engrave metal and plastic. Such laser engravers are available at a price of around $1200 to $1500, varied by capacity and upgradability. An infrared…
