Tips for laser cutting and laser engraving of toys
Wood is a popular material for toys. Can you laser cut and engrave any wood?
Since wood is a natural material, take care to consider factors similar to the density and the resin content of the wood you are processing. Soft woods, resembling balsa, require less laser power and can be cut more quickly. Hardwood, on the opposite hand, is denser thus it requires more laser power. For MDF, which consists of affixed wood fibers, we tend to suggest using compressed gas.
Is wood engraving always dark?
The brownish-colored laser engraving is very popular. When you process varnished wood with the correct laser settings, you can also achieve a white engraving. To do this, we recommend very low power at high speed.
What can you do when there is smoke in the processing area?
Laser processing of wood is a sublimation method. That is, the solid material is converted directly into gaseous state through combustion. Here conjointly dust is created, which is perceptible as smoke. For wood processing, we thus recommend the utilization of an efficient extraction system. Thereby you attain perfect engraving and cutting results. additionally, the service lifetime of your laser machine can therefore be prolonged. That is, extraction with most rate of flow is essential when it involves wood processing with lasers.
