This month's Gravotech Laser e-News is all about laser engraving on wood. Follow these simple tricks to create the best looking wood signage and gifts for your customers.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
1. For cutting wood, opt for a short focal length!
2. For clean cuts with no burn effect, choose a laser machine
that offers high speeds.
Extra tip: place adhesive tape
over the cutting area before launching the job: it will protect the surface to
be cut and will leave the wood perfectly clean!
3. The harder the wood and the greater the thickness to be
cut, the greater the power output is needed from your machine.
4. Using an air assist improves the quality of cut! It
reduces heat at the point of work and eliminates fumes and particles.
Choose a machine with
an integrated compressor; this will guarantee silent operation and optimize
space.
5.
To prevent the wood from overheating, adjust your engraving settings to 300
dpi: the beam scan is then ideal for the engraving photographs, complex
drawings, fine detailing and more.
