Metal-Shiny; Specular Marking (mimic sandblast)
Metal-Coated,Painted, Anodized, Plated, Etc; - Removal revealing either substrate color (most often) or discolorization from process.
Metal-Raw; Dark Marking via vaporisation/relief, dark appearance often from vaporisation discolor and/or from shading in the groove cut)
Metal-Raw; Dark Marking via surface annealing (iron/steel primarily, some other exotics like titanium, nitinol), requires a carbon content level not present in gold, silver, nickel, copper, brass, aluminum, etc)
Metal; Machining, Relief, Depth, including 3D
This stone is the ONLY parts picture on the website that isn't mine. Hope to approach such however with the JPT UV laser system arriving mid July 2024.
COMING: 3D ENGRAVING PICTURES (by Fall '24)
Plastic
Discolor - Potential shades of gray or black/brown/white levels - contrast dependent on material marriage to particular laser wavelength, 1.064u Yag/ Fiber, .450u Blue, or .355u Ultraviolet all in our facility.
Plastics Material Variety.........
For Fiber 1.064u: ABS, Acrylic, Lucite, Nylon, Polycarbonate, PVC, Vinyl ...
Other Material Variety............
For Fiber 1.064u: Ceramic, Composites, Leather, Carbon, Rubber, Vinyl, Glass (coating or underlayment required)
NOTE: THE PICTURES VIEWED ON THIS SITE HAVE COME BY THE HAND OF CARLTON LOVEJOY IN UTILISATION OF "THE YAG/FIBER 1.064U WAVELENGTH OVERWHELMINGLY", THE .355u and .450u are the newer wavelengths.
Material Variety (for .355u UV and .450u Blue wavelengths)
Not limited to but specifically addressing Organic Materials : Wood, Glass, Stone, Paper, Food, Ivory, Bone, Clay, Insects, Plants, Skin, Horn, Clothing...
Shades of gray (black/brown to white or specular/diffractive or clean vaporisation of material.
Lasers coming in June. YES. Initial samples generation by July 31 2024.
