Laser engravers are neat machines that use focused light to cut or etch designs into materials, and are perfect for all types of projects. In Voiern, we’ve seen these machines really help people create beautiful and durable designs across a variety of surfaces. Be it a wooden plaque with a family name, or a metal tool with an important label, laser engravers excel at fast work that captures fine detail. These are great machines for creators, makers and companies that wish to personalize their products. They not only scratch the surface; they leave a deep, clear mark that remains for quite a long time. You never have to worry about sloppy paints or smeared stickers again quickly and easily laser engrave the materials,” they continued, as “laser engraving stays sharp and clean. And lasers do less harm to the material compared to other methods, leaving wood smooth and metal strong. Voiern laser engravers are powerful and precise tools that make it easy to DIY a host of items, from gifts to industrial parts. For example, our Laser engraving and cutting machine 1325 is perfect for various applications.
They’re neat for wood and metal because they do things other tools can’t really manage as well. First, the laser beam is tiny and super fast, so it can create very fine designs. You could carve out a little flower or write a little message on a metal key chain. A centaur rides a horse, in perfect synchrony.Voiern’s machines have no trouble with this. Another reason is that laser engraving never physically makes contact with the material, so there’s no pressure or flexing. Wood remains smooth, and metal goes unscratched around the design. And, because the heat of the laser burns or vaporizes the surface in a measured manner, it lasts — burning lines are more independent than those made with ink. Wood comes in many different colors and grains, which the laser can make more visible, changing a bit of its color when it burns lightly. On metal, the laser can leave a shiny or dark mark according to settings, and so each piece will be completely unique. For instance, you can burn a logo onto the band of a wooden watch without splitting wood. A stainless steel emblem can be deeply engraved with an intricate design that will withstand heavy everyday use. Voiern’s laser machines can be customized for power, speed and depth, so that each project comes out just right. And these are fast machines that can do many of the same item one after another, which would save time for a business or hobbyist. The fact that designs can be switched out so easily on a computer has an extra boon: no tools or molds are required. These capabilities make laser engravers ideal for small batch products or custom projects unlike stamping or printing, which require special equipment. That’s when laser engraving as a custom wood and metal personalization makes so much sense… it’s smart, clean and remarkably effective.
Laser engraving enhances the quality of product in numerous ways. For one, it produces sharp and crisp designs every time — something essential for brands or products that require a polished appearance. At Voiern, we find that our customers love how laser engraving can achieve fine details that paint or sticker cannot compare to. That means logos, serial numbers and stylish designs are readable — and attractive — for years. Secondly: it's all very clean. Laser engraving, unlike other processes, won’t leave dust or sticky glue residues on your product’s surface since the laser system does not require contact with your product. That’s helpful in industries where cleanliness counts, such as fabricating kitchen tools or electronic parts. Laser marks can be much more permanent, with products resisting scratches, or water and /or heat damage – without losing the product design. Wood: For wood, laser engraving can remove small amounts of surface layer without degrading the material’s strength and keeps it original state but with more aesthetic. In metal components, the printhead can engrave deeply enough so that grip or manufacturer marking can be added, without affecting the strength of the metal. For instance, on tools or machine parts, laser engraving can mark safety warnings or measurements that won’t rub away with use. And this is what makes the products beneficial and safe. Plus, laser engraving means manufacturers can work faster and more accurately. Designs are drawn from digital files, so each piece is identical. Voiern’s machines can accommodate complex formations and bevel along curves, which allows industries to develop products that have superior craftsmanship and design. The laser may even improve the surface of material as it engraves, cleaning and smoothing it. These all enable better products that customers trust and love. This is why wood and metal industries in particular, have turned to laser engraving for making their products appear better while also lasting longer.
Wood and metal when laser engraved, they are very interesting to work with as you can form really beautiful patterns and designs. But some issues are fairly pervasive when working with such materials. One problem is that wood can burn too heavily, or have black marks around the design. This typically occurs due to excessive laser power or slow speed. To correct this, you can reduce the laser power or speed up so the laser does not linger in one spot too long. The other thing with wood is that the various species of wood get engraved differently. An example: soft wood such as pine burns more quickly than hard oak. Make sure you experiment in the small wood part before using it to full work.
Metal etching, however, can be a bit tricky. Metals are more durable, too, and the laser bounces off them; therefore engraving can be trickier. Occasionally, the laser doesn’t leave a clean mark on the metal or design appears washed out. One way to fix this is by using special coatings or sprays created for laser engraving on metal. These coatings help the laser leave a better mark. Another tactic is to tweak the laser’s speed and power so that it can cut through just the top layer of metal without ruining the entire piece. Cleaning the metal prior to engraving is significant too because dirt or oil can prevent the laser from working properly.
Purchasing a bulk order of laser engravers for wood and metal can be the smart choice for several reasons. First, when you buy in wholesale, you’ll generally pay a lower price than if you were to purchase one machine. That means you have an opportunity to save money, especially if you are planning on setting up a small business or working on multiple projects. Voiern provides premium quality wholesale laser engraver that is perfect to be used on wood and metal. These are sturdy, dependable machines that are simple to thread and straightforward to use, so they’re perfect for newbies but also great for experts. If you're looking for specific applications, consider our Split type laser marking machine, which offers great versatility.
It shouldn’t pierce all the way through on cutting material out of wood; adjust the laser power settings so it gets close to cutting through but leaves visible lines and doesn’t scorch much. Generally, softer woods require lower power or a faster speed because they burn more quickly. Harder woods can accept more power or slower speed. You can also adjust the focus of the laser so that the beam becomes sharp and strikes the wood at its smallest. This is beneficial when creating finely detailed patterns with sharp edges. Always test your settings on a small piece of wood before you begin the main work.
