Advanced Laser Engraving Tutorial 05—Effect of Engraving Interval on Engraving

Image
In the previous tutorials, we and you analyzed several factors that affect engraving, namely power, speed, and air blowing. In this issue, we will bring you another factor that affects engraving- Engraving interval. Item list: Laser cutting machine : Thunder laser Nova 35 (80W) Glued wood: 3mm parameter settings: Engraving speed: 500mm / s Engraving power: 15% Whether to blow: weak blow Focal length: 6mm Interval: how long the laser head scans the next line, in other words, the distance between the two lines. From top to bottom, we can see that as the carving interval becomes smaller and smaller, the carving effect becomes deeper and deeper. When we look closely at the sculptural details, we find that when the interval is set too large, the picture looks incomplete. This is because the details are too sculpted because the spacing is too large. When the interval is set too small, repeated engraving will cause the picture to be carved too deeply, or even destr

Advanced Laser Engraving Tutorial 04—The Effect of Blowing on Engraving

Item list: Machine:  Laser engraving machine  (80W) Glued wood: 3mm parameter settings: Engraving power: 15% Engraving interval: 0.08 Focal length: 6mm Many people do n’t understand why blowing air will also affect the carving to varying degrees. Do you know that powder is also produced when engraving, it will adsorb on the surface of the engraving material. When engraving, it will affect the use of laser lenses and the effect of laser engraving under certain circumstances.  According to the effect of the above picture, we can see that from top to bottom, as the air blowing becomes weaker and weaker, the color of the text becomes lighter Not blowing Weak blow Strong blow After observing the details of the edges of the text again, we found that when the air is not blown, the edges of the text are hardly yellow; when it is strongly blown, it is a little yellow; when it is weakly blown, the edge of the text is yellowest. Although the edges are not yellow when not blowing

Advanced Laser Engraving Tutorial 03-The effect of speed on sculpting

Item list: Machine: Laser engraving machine (80W) Glued wood: 3mm parameter settings: Engraving power: 15% Engraving interval: 0.08 Whether to blow: weak blow Focal length: 6mm The effect of the above picture is very obvious. When other parameters are the same when we are sculpting, the faster the speed, the lighter the sculpting effect, the less obvious the yellowing effect, and the shorter the time it is used, that is In the case, when we set the speed to the maximum, the work efficiency will be faster. On the contrary, when our engraving speed is smaller, the longer the engraving time is, the yellowing phenomenon becomes more serious, so the effect of engraving will be deeper. in conclusion: We also draw a conclusion: the faster the speed, the shallower the engraving effect, and the higher the efficiency; on the contrary, the slower the speed, the deeper the engraving effect, and the lower the efficiency. When the speed is constant at the h

Advanced Laser Engraving Tutorial 02—Influence of laser power on engraving

Parameters set in this tutorial: Engraving speed: 500mm / s Engraving clearance: 0.08 We know that there are many aspects of engraving on the machine that affect the engraving effect, such as power, speed, air blowing, focal length, interval, etc. It can be said that different factors have different effects on engraving. So why put the power first? Is there a relationship between power and energy? What effect does the power change have on engraving? In fact, putting power in the first place is, of course, a parameter we often set. The effect of engraving varies with the power parameter setting. When the power of engraving is greater, the energy of laser engraving will be greater, and the impact on the engraved object will be greater. When the energy is smaller, the laser energy is smaller, and the impact on the sculpted object is smaller. We can look at the pictures carved this time. It is not difficult to see that there are obvious changes from top to bottom. As the
