Laser Engraving Tips and Tricks for Glassware
Laser Engraving Tips and Tricks for Glassware By Mike Dean, vice-president of sales and marketing, Epilog Laser Engraving on glass and crystal can produce stunning results. From engraving the names of the bride and groom on wedding champagne flutes to etching a company logo on a set of beer mugs and beyond, glass etching and engraving creates a sense of sophistication and beauty that is very popular among consumers. CO2 laser engraving equipment generally offers a quicker and more convenient alternative to traditional glass engraving techniques, such as sandblasting, which necessitates the creation of a template prior to starting the project. While engraved and etched glassware is in huge demand, depending on the type and lead content, glass is typically a very delicate material to work with. But don’t let the delicacy of the material dissuade you from glass engraving and etching – just keep the following tips and tricks in mind when working with glass and crystal and you’ll produce the results that keep customers coming back for more. Glassware Options First, you might find it easier to work with “everyday” glassware as opposed to crystal. Crystal contains a greater amount of lead, which retains heat very well (too well for a laser!). When you use a CO2 laser to engrave glass, the surface is heated as the laser beam blasts away delicate glass particles. If the glass is unable to cool down adequately, as is sometimes the case with crystal, the markings expand in size, which can produce a distorted look. Avoid a Second Pass Prior to running any glass engraving job, it's very important to test your speed and power settings on the type of glass you'll be using.

Glass Staining
GLASS STAINING VIRACON TECH TALK Glass staining occurs when a chemical change or degradation of a glass surface occurs. This document outlines potential causes of glass staining as well as related prevention and cleaning recommendations. GLASS STAINING CAUSES OF GLASS STAINING During Construction Overall, flat glass for commercial buildings is uniquely resistant to chemical attacks and other types of deterioration. However, glass staining can occur from a reaction to acids used during new concrete cleaning, masonry runoff and prolonged water contact during storage and shipment. Glass staining implies a chemical change or degradation to the glass surface. Glass is inert to most acids, as well as other chemicals. Only phosphoric and hydrofluoric acids are harmful to glass. In concentrated form, these two chemicals will rapidly etch a glass surface. During building construction, hydrofluoric acid is often used to clean new concrete. This solution can accidentally splash onto the glass, seriously staining it in just one hour, resulting in costly glass replacement. Unlike acids, alkaline cleaning materials, such as ammonia and trisodium phosphate, will attack glass surfaces. In concentrated form, these solutions can cause serious etching. Diluted, these alkaline solutions still attack the glass but more slowly. As a result, glass surfaces should always be thoroughly rinsed after cleaning to avoid staining. Concentrated liquid cleaners used as a lubricant for gasket-glazed installations can also cause glass staining. Even though the glass is rinsed, some of the cleaner can get trapped between the gasket and the glass. This cleaner eventually seeps out, attacking the glass. As a result, it is important to use lubricants recommended by the gasket manufacturer.

Study of High Aspect Ratio NLD Plasma Etching and Postprocessing of Fused Silica and Borosilicate Glass Mohammed J
This article has been accepted for inclusion in a future issue of this journal. Content is final as presented, with the exception of pagination. JOURNAL OF MICROELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS 1 Study of High Aspect Ratio NLD Plasma Etching and Postprocessing of Fused Silica and Borosilicate Glass Mohammed J. Ahamed, Member, IEEE, Doruk Senkal, Student Member, IEEE, Alexander A. Trusov, Member, IEEE, and Andrei M. Shkel, Fellow, IEEE Abstract— In this paper, we report magnetic neutral loop discharge (NLD) plasma etching of fused silica (FS) and borosilicate glass (BSG), demonstrating high aspect ratio deep etch (100 µm) with vertical walls (<3° deviation from vertical). This paper for the ﬁrst time presents the systematic study of FS and BSG deep etching in NLD plasma. Four different masking materials have been explored including metal, amorphous silicon, bonded silicon, and photoresist. Etch parameters were optimized to eliminate unwanted artifacts, such as micro-masking, trenching, and faceting, while retaining a high aspect ratio (up to 7:1 for FS and 8:1 for BSG). In addition, a method for sidewall roughness mitigation based on postfabrication annealing was developed, showing the sidewall roughness reduction from the average roughness (Ra) 900 to 85 nm. Further advances in deep plasma etching processes may enable the use of FS and BSG in the fabrication of precision inertial MEMS, micro-ﬂuidic, and micro-optical devices. [2015-0078] Index Terms— Microfabrication, plasma etching, fused quartz, fused silica, glass etching, roughness reduction. I. INTRODUCTION Fig. 1.

Many of the completed projects are great opportunities to exhibit at the Oconto County Youth Fair. The Pins Participants that complete the class requirements for a particular project are eligible to receive a pin for that project area. Pins are awarded at the annual Achievement Banquet. Education Points Three education points are required for all individuals exhibiting a market animal at the fair. Sessions with an asterisk (*) qualify for 1 education point. Session participants are eligible for 1 education point for each session they attend. Page 3 Open Sessions If, during the event, participants have open sessions, they will report to the gym for supervised activities. They will remain there until their next project session. No participants are allowed to wander the halls or leave the building without a parent or guardian.
