Laser Engraving Machine: Simply Beaming

by Cecile Cinco

You have probably heard of laser engraving machines, but how does it work and what can it do?

Basically, it follows the design you have by means of a laser beam, thus, the real work you have to do is the design itself. Everything else is computerized.

What materials can be used and what applications?

Arts and crafts as hobby or commercial products like stencils and miniatures. Have you seen

those wooden puzzles that you can assemble to make a specific animal or structure? I used to do the effect of that center image using styrofoam and styro cutter. Not that detailed but that is what you can accomplish with a laser engraver without sweat at all. Woodworking will never be the same again when you use a laser engraver.

Awards and personalization items are also very in-demand. If it used to take weeks to deliver one, now it can take a lot less (isn’t that an oxymoron?), probably under an hour!

Industrial markings and cuttings such as bar codes, signages and metal stencils can be seen everywhere, which means there is a demand for such.

Printing and design not only on paper but also on CDs and textile is also possible with this beaming machine.

Product decorating has never been easier!

How about signs, badges and stamps?

The possibilities are limited by your imagination. Put together an artist and an entrepreneur and your income potential is just great!

You can also use laser engraving machines to mark glass, ceramic, metal (coated and bare), and stone (natural and synthetic).

Cutting, marking and engraving can be done on fabric and leather, paper and cardboard, plastic (sheet, film and molded), rubber (natural, synthetic and foam), and wood.

Ahh…if I have one of those machines, I’ll be may be the start to my first million.
