LASER CUT WOOD

A solid piece of wood that has not been glued or spliced together.The end of the workpiece is burnt, black. Wood is easier to cut with a laser than plywood. cut through wood 15mm thick on a laser machine.

If you cut solid wood of poor quality, poor grade, the laser may not cut through the material. And because of the undercut, poor quality comes out. The operator working on the laser will need to hand break and trim the knots. All of these factors affect the speed of work, the quality of the work done, and the output per hour. Therefore, in a low grade solid, we do not guarantee quality, and with a poor cut, the price of the cutting service may be increased!

WOOD ENGRAVING

Engraving is the burning out of the top layer of material. This process occurs because of the frequent repetitive lines that the laser draws. These lines are at a very close distance from each other, this distance is invisible to the human eye. At the same time, each line shifts one from the other. In this way a completely etched surface of the material is created. Thus, moving from left to right or from top to bottom, the engraving or, in other words, it is the filling of a space by burning. After engraving, a dark engraved surface is left on the wood material, which has some indentation. As a rule, the depth is from 0.2 to 1.5 mm.

Engraving is considered a costly way of imprinting logos in our company, the calculation is done on time. But the engraving can be applied by the piece and there is no attachment to a large circulation.

After engraving furniture board, around the engraved elements comes out a light brown dust / char. It can be easily sanded off, and if the material has been previously lacquered, the yellowing is washed with water.

Wood engraving is often much lighter (in soft woods) than plywood engraving. The engraving effect is the same, but the depth and color are quite different. The fibers of live wood are not as dense as plywood, and, therefore, when engraving wood, even at low power, the depth of engraving is obtained in 1mm, and the color of engraving is not as contrasting/brown as in plywood (also due to the lower density).

On pine, the color of the engraving is quite light and this is not to everyone's liking. Darker color is most often engraved oak, ash, beech.

After engraving wood, around engraved elements, comes out a light brown pollen / char, it can be easily sanded.

LASER ENGRAVING WOOD TO A CERTAIN DEPTH.

When we need to do an engraving more than 1mm deep, we do several laser passes over the same spot. In this case, the first thing we must evaluate the possibility of this type of performance: whether it is possible to engrave several times and achieve the desired result depends on the complexity of the layout.
