Laser Engraving Systems

One of the many uses of the laser engraving systems is car tags engraving. You can see a wonderful example at the below video. Please feel free to explore other laser applications in our sections and recommended links.

It’s riskless. Laser engraving is a free of abrasion technique, besides it is a contact free process that does not require any adjusting or clamping of the material to be engraved. Unlike traditional cutting machines, laser engravers don’t expose users to open, moving parts making them as safe to use as a CD player or microwave oven.

It’s impeccable. Clean edges and fine detail aren’t the only things that are “clean” about laser engraving; it’s also better for the environment, especially when if you combine the base systems with other advanced laser exhaust systems.

It’s quick. This kind of laser offers the highest speeds on the market for engraving, delivering better productivity and ouput over conventional systems such as saws, routers, etc.

It’s easy. Laser engraving machines can be operated with the ease-of-use of a laser printer, using standard graphic layout programs and quick, one-touch commands – and deliver high-quality output whether the user is a novice or a laser engraving expert.

It’s got a good cost-results ratio. Laser engraving machines deliver top quality, reliability and power, so even elaborate engraving jobs can be done in a snap. Offering maximum productivity for a range of applications, Laser engravers increase revenue opportunities, offer long-term investment protection (no wear and tear), and deliver high ROI.

Now enjoy this video of one of the laser engraving machines companies to see this kind of systems working. Really outstanding!

Here you have another good example of how the laser engraving technique can make pieces of art. In this case the artist created a custom powerbook. By the way, laser engraving is so versatile that you can use art pieces from well known artists to engraved your personal belongings and tools.

Here you have the laser engraved powerbook video.

Engraving is the practice of incising a design onto a hard surface, by cutting grooves into it. Laser engraving means that a laser beam is used as the engraver tool. As you can notice, technology and its fast evolution allows many different possibilities when you use a laser. Engravers, more and more, are turning to laser technology for engraving functions due largely to the great versatility in material choices. Popular laser engravable materials include wood and veneers, plastics, acrylic, glass, marble, coated metals, leather and other fabrics, stone, granite, mat board and other paper products, hard surfaced materials like Corian, cork, melamine, Delrin, rubber stamp, and gasket material. Additionally, there are a host of manmade materials including simulated wood and stone products, which have proven to be ideal for laser engraving. Material manufacturers continue to produce and provide products that are compatible with lasers. This is important because the faster and more efficiently one can run laser engraved jobs the more profitable the job will be.The latest step in this technological race is the 3D laser engraving technique.

This truly unique process is the meeting of skills from the past and the future. The work combines the precise and meticulous crafts of the designer and the sculptor with the know-how of a computer scientists who convert a 3D image into a galaxy of crystallised pixels. Each pixel is formed by a “micro explosion”caused by the meeting of guided laser beams, transforming and sculpting the heart of the crystal, whilst leaving the exterior flawless. The image is suspended within a block of optical glass – the clearest and purest known form of glass. The delicate lines, which rival the finest lacework, create the shape in infinite detail. The result is a masterpiece of finesse, elegance and distinction.

Well, the most appropriate title for this article would be “Laser Engraved Mac”. We, all, know the amazing applications of the laser engraving technique. It can be utilized for industrial purposes, but also for art works. It can used even to customize your personal belongings.

With the proper laser engraving equipment you can etch your personal things very easily. The things to be engraved and the pattern or drawing to be used are completely up to you.

Some hobby communities tend to personalize their items much more than others and Mac fans are probably the people more oriented to personalization and customization.
I enclose some photos below about clear examples of laser engraved macs. As you can see the sky is the limit when we are talking about laser engraving macs. Notice how cool is this laser engraving on PowerBooks. Wondering when Apple will start offering laser engraving option on MacBook Pro just like on iPods.
