What materials is the laser engraving machine applied to?
What materials are used for small laser engraving machines? China is a big manufacturing country, the country is developing faster and faster, and the demand for small laser engraving machines in manufacturing is also increasing. We will also see many small laser engraving machines engraving products in our lives. Today, I will list several common materials for everyone.
1, acrylic (a kind of plexiglass)
The most commonly used industry for acrylics is in the advertising industry. Because of its important plastic polymer material, it has good transparency, chemical stability and weather resistance, easy dyeing, easy processing and beautiful appearance. For some traditional practitioners, in order to meet customer needs and reduce costs, the cost of using a small laser engraving machine is relatively low compared to manual. In general, the plexiglass is back-engraved, that is, it is engraved from the front and viewed from the back, which makes the finished product more three-dimensional. Please mirror the graphics in the back carving, and the carving speed is faster and the power is lower. Plexiglass is relatively easy to cut, and a blowing device should be used for cutting to improve the quality of the incision. When cutting plexiglass over 8mm, the lens of large size should be replaced. (Note: The operator should not leave when cutting plexiglass, there may be flame when cutting.) 2. Wood Wood is the most commonly used small laser engraving machine for processing. Light-colored wood like birch, cherry or maple is well vaporized by lasers and is therefore more suitable for engraving. Each type of wood has its own characteristics, some of which are dense, such as hardwood, which requires greater laser power for engraving or cutting.
2. Small laser engraving machine cuts wood
The depth is generally not deep, within 5mm, because the laser power is small, such as slow speed cutting will cause wood burning. For specific operations, try using large-size lenses and repeating them.

3, density paste panel
It is the kind of wooden pallet that we often use for signage linings. The material is a high-density board with a thin wood grain on the surface. The laser engraving machine can be engraved on this sharp material factory, but the engraved pattern is uneven in color and black, and is usually colored. Usually you can use the 0.5mm two-color plate for the better design by learning the appropriate design. After the engraving is finished, use a damp cloth to clean the surface of the MDF.
4, two-color board
The two-color plate is a kind of engineering plastic specially designed for engraving composed of two or more layers of color. Because the two-color plate has the impact resistance, heat resistance and low temperature resistance of ABS itself, it is also easy to process. In recent years, it has been widely used in industries such as architectural decoration, exhibition display, advertising production, and logo production. Its specifications are generally 600*1200mm, and there are also a small number of brand specifications of 600*900mm. The effect of engraving with a small laser engraving machine is very good, with obvious contrast and sharp edges. Pay attention to the speed is not too slow, do not cut through once, it will be divided into three or four times, so that the edge of the cut material is flat and there is no trace of melting. The power should be just right when engraving, and should not be too large to avoid the appearance of melting marks.
5, painted copper plate
Usually, copper cannot be laser engraved. However, there is now a material with a special paint film attached to its surface. The laser can completely vaporize the paint film on the surface and then expose the underlying copper plate. Usually, the manufacturer will polish or specialize the copper plate before painting to ensure that the exposed area after engraving has sufficient finish and can be stored for a long time. If the copper surface is not treated, use a small laser engraving machine to do a protective film again to avoid oxidation over time and surface contamination.
