We see many objects around us daily, many of which have some text or pattern engraved on them like on jewelry, glasses, woods etc.
Have you ever wondered how these patterns appear on them? People hardly wonder but the technique used for this purpose is known as laser engraving. It is a technique in which laser is used to engrave letters or mark on an object. This process involves the use of laser engraving machines which makes marks on the surface of materials like metals, plastics, stones, glass, jewelry, etc. This process is also called Laser Etching. For this purpose, computers are used in which the required pattern is programmed into the machine where the size, place and depth of a pattern are very well mentioned. Material and Level of heat are the two factors which are responsible for the strength of laser.
There are several industries in the market which provides machines or tools for laser engraving. One of the best live examples of etching is on cards like visiting cards, visa card, debit card, etc. The companies which manufacture laser etching machines supply it to the banks where engravers do the very precise work with the help of these tools.
There are many benefits of laser engraving which are as follows:-
1) It is a safe process for a person who is engraving on a particular material because machines used for this purpose are not harmful for the user because it will not cause any injury to the user.
2) It is a process which provides clean cutting of edges.
3) It ensures that the environment remains clean.
4) Many machines are available which provides great speed of engraving.
5) This engraving leads to less damage of the product while writing on it.
6) It is a faster process of engraving than conventional method for printing used for this purpose.
7) There is no wear and tear of product at the time of engraving because engraving is done by laser and no other object comes in contact with the product.
8) It is an 'Eco friendly' method.
9) It is 'time saving' process as it completes the task in very short amount of time.
10) This type of engraving is not affected by any liquids like water or any other chemical as it is permanent on the product.
Laser Engraving is one of the most effective and efficient way to engrave text or pattern on anything. As in the old technique, a mask is essential for engraving but this technique is far better than the old engraving methods because mask is not necessary while doing the engraving process. So, stick to old methods when we have advanced methods of engraving.
