Laser Marking on Plastic
May 08 , 2021
‘Plastics’ refer to materials with widely differing chemical compositions, which in turn means differing outcomes for the processes applied to them, including laser marking. Indeed, among plastics we can distinguish between polycarbonate, polyamide, polyester, PE, PET, ABS, and many others. These influence the choice of laser in terms of required wavelength. By way of example, P...

High-power UV laser marking sapphire mirror label on watch glass
May 11 , 2021
High-power UV laser marking sapphire mirror label on watch glass Because glass is fragile and very hard, it always challenges the limits of traditional manufacturing processes such as milling, drilling, and grinding. The processing of sapphire glass mirrors is complicated, and it requires not only experienced craftsman skills but also high-end equipment to produce high-quality products. Therefore,...

Why Are Picosecond Pulses Superior to Femtosecond?
May 11 , 2021
RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY: WHY ARE PICOSECOND PULSES SUPERIOR TO FEMTOSECOND? Spectroscopy is a class of analysis methods meant for chemical species identification and concentration measurement, based on emission spectra detection, if irradiated by an adequate light source. Fluorescence-based spectroscopy is one of the oldest spectroscopic techniques. This technique utilizes electron-photon interactions ...

uv or green laser Etching on Glass
May 12 , 2021
How deep will the laser etch into glass? With a laser you can create a very light etch. This is not sandblasting and you won't achieve that depth, but you can quickly create very elaborate designs with a laser that is lightly etched into the glass. It's a unique look that many people prefer to sandblasting. Do I have to mask the glass before engraving? Unlike sandblasting, wit...

Is laser engraving on ABS plastic harmful if you smell it?
May 13 , 2021
Is laser engraving on ABS plastic harmful if you smell it? Did you apply a data-driven approach to improve site structure? A confusing site architecture doesn‘t confuse Google, it impacts profits. Untangle it to see results! Of course no. Check the wikipedia below first: ABS is stable to decomposition under normal use and polymer processing conditions with exposure to carcinoge...

What is the cheapest and best place to get plastic, laser engraved?
May 13 , 2021
What is the cheapest and best place to get plastic, laser engraved? The "right" answer to this question is going to depend on exactly what you need done. What you're describing is, for industrial manufacturers of things, still a relatively short run, and laser cutting/engraving is much like printing. The setup is the hard part, and the rest is largely about letting it run. Here are the sorts of qu...
