  • 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.

  • Acrylic-Processing-Guide.Pdf
    Laser Processing Guide working with acrylic www.troteclaser.com www.trotec-materials.com Acrylic is becoming an increasingly popular manufacturing material used across many industries for a wide range of products such as signs, displays and trophies, to name a few. It is highly versatile, durable, aesthetically pleasing, and processes well with a laser. For many, acrylic is a convenient and affordable alternative to glass because it’s largely impact-resistant and weighs about half as much, but still offers a high level of clarity. A laser is a highly effective and efficient way to cut, mark or engrave acrylic. Including general processing instructions and pointers, time-saving tricks and troubleshooting advice, the following guide was designed to help new laser users as well as intermediate users improve their acrylic processing technique and results. With a little practice and a few pointers, you will be able to use your laser to create perfectly polished acrylic edges, engrave intricate details, and produce precise cuts and contours. Getting 01 Started Engraving Processing Techniques and 02 Recommended Settings Cutting Processing Techniques and 03 Recommended Settings Common 05 Mistakes Trouble 06 Shooting Getting Started Acrylic materials come in a wide range of color, texture, and finish combinations. There are three main types of acrylic: Cell Cast Acrylic that is cast into shapes • Laser engraving appears frosted • Laser cutting easy Continuous Cast Acrylic that is continuously casted into sheets using a sheet shape molded on an assembly line • Laser engraving appears frosted • Laser cutting easy Extruded • Laser engraving is translucent, making it difficult to see • Can be easily cut with a laser using lower power settings.

  • Techniques in Laser Cutting and Engraving Leather
    Where the Laser Meets the Leather: Techniques in Laser Cutting and Engraving Leather SARAH PIKE If you had ever told me that, as an artist trained in traditional figurative painting who works in stone lithography, I would end up running a laser cutting business, I wouldn't have believed you. But it was through my printmaking discipline and sensibilities that I came to work with laser cutting. And today I draw great satisfaction in helping artists—primarily bookbinders—bridge the gap between handcraft and new technologies. In this article I will share a variety of laser cutting and engraving techniques for working with leather and parchment. A Look at What's Possible Laser cutters, which vaporize material using a pulsating That said, the question I most often get is, “Can you cut beam of light, perform three main tasks: they cut, line metal?” The answer is no: a fiber laser is needed for engrave, and area engrave. When the laser cuts or line laser cutting metal. Due to their size and cost, fiber engraves, it follows the path of the line; when it area lasers are more often found at businesses that service engraves it moves back and forth like an ink-jet printer. industrial companies. Note that in this context, engraving refers to the partial removal of material that can be performed at multiple While I'll try to be as specific as possible, so many depths (fig. 1). variables come into play that it's difficult to give universal guidelines. Laser cutter settings can vary greatly depending on how the leather was processed, the dye used, what part of the skin is being used, and the life of the animal.

Bloody civil war over the last habitable zones of the cosmos. Political Lines of Departure, militaristic police forces, dire threats to the Solar System…. Humanity is on the ropes, and after years of fighting a two-front war with losing odds, so is North American Defense Corps officer Andrew Grayson. He dreams of dropping out of the service one day, alongside his pilot girlfriend, but as warfare consumes entire planets and conditions on Earth deteriorate, he wonders if there will be anywhere left for them to go. After surviving a disastrous space-borne assault, Grayson is reassigned to a ship bound for a distant colony—and Lines of Departure with malcontents and troublemakers. His most dangerous battle has just begun. When dealing with a masterpiece, only the best will do. And as anyone who has read the previous two collected volumes of the ongoing series can Lines of Departure, the result has been a stunning tour de force faithful in every respect to its brilliant original. The competing teams of astronauts sent to explore the asteroid Keanu discovered it was, in fact, a giant spacecraft with an alien crew carrying a plea for help. A brave new frontier beckons. But it will come at a price. Without warning, the aliens transport small groups of humans to the vast interior habitats of Keanu. Their first challenge is to survive.

  • Study and Development of a Didactic Engraving System Using a Low Powered Laser Diode
    Study and development of a didactic engraving system using a low powered laser diode António Jorge Reis Lordelo Paulos Dissertation Supervisors: Prof. Manuel Rodrigues Quintas Eng.º Jorge Manuel de Matos Reis Engineering Faculty of the University of Porto Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering September 2014 Study and development of a didactic engraving system using a low powered laser diode ii Study and development of a didactic engraving system using a low powered laser diode Abstract Laser engravers may be used in a didactic environment for the augmentation of certain activities. Whether it is for training involving motion control systems or for use as a tool in the context of other disciplines, a laser engraving and/or cutting machine is desired. Thus, the present dissertation reports about the study and development of such a system. The main objective is to develop a laser engraving system for didactic purposes. The engraver is meant to use a low powered diode laser device for engraving and/or cutting soft materials. Firstly, a preliminary study of diode laser fundamentals, as well as laser engraving and cutting technologies, was carried out. This allowed acquiring basic knowledge about the device to be used and which sort of configurations are most common for the axes of motion of laser engraving and cutting machines. Furthermore, it served as a basis for the definition of a concept for a working prototype. As such, the project specification ensued to establish the requirements and characteristics to meet in the development of the prototype. Safety, usability and maintenance issues were considered and the technical aspects that may characterise the prototype were addressed.

Ernest Hemingway and many of his contemporaries wrote about the conflicts that defined a lot of the early twentieth century. I will, in this thesis, look at three short stories about war by Hemingway, and compare them to how other writers and historians portray war and conflicts. Hemingway and the First World War Firstly, I would like to look at Hemingway in the context of the First World War. Hemingway famously did not get to serve in the US army, marines, or navy because of bad eyesight.
