Laser engraving and cutting machine application in the advertising industry

Laser processing has gradually become a new processing technology with the development of computers, optics, electromechanics, control technologies, and materials. The laser engraving and cutting machine combines the functions of laser cutting and laser engraving and is widely used in the advertising industry.

Laser cutting and laser engraving are two different ways of working.

Laser cutting uses a focused, high-energy laser beam to vaporize or melt a workpiece and use an assist gas to blow out the oxidized or melted material to form an incision. Laser cutting is the separation of the edges. We can first make the graphics in AUTOCAD, CORELDRAW, and save the corresponding DxF, PLT format, open the cutting operation software, open the file, and then according to the materials we want to process. Set parameters such as speed and energy, and then run it again. After receiving instructions from the computer, the laser cutting machine automatically cuts according to the flight path generated by the software. Laser cutting is currently one of the most widely used and mature laser processing technologies in laser processing. In the advertising industry, it is mainly applied to the processing of organic glass, wood, color paper, and double-colored plates, and produces three-dimensional trademarks and crystal characters.

Laser engraving is usually composed of special laser engraving software, carbon dioxide laser, precision machinery and automatic control system, and belongs to low-price high-tech laser products. Laser engraving is mainly carried out on the surface of the object. We can first process the appropriate graphics in PHOTOSHOP and convert it into BMP format. Then open the graphics file in special engraving and cutting software, and then according to what we want. The processed material can be set with appropriate parameters, and then click Run. The laser engraving machine will perform engraving based on the dot effect produced by the graphics file. Laser engraving in the advertising industry is mainly applied to the processing of materials such as two-color plates, wood boards, colored paper, and organic glass.

The laser engraving and cutting machine combines all the advantages of laser cutting and laser engraving, and has a higher cost performance. It places higher requirements on the control system and the laser, and is mainly aimed at products that require both model effects and graphic effects. Laser engraving and cutting machines are mainly used in the advertising industry for signage, photo collections, street signs, signage and other crafts and indicative signs.

Although laser engraving and cutting machines have only begun to develop in the advertising industry in recent years, they have great market potential, thanks to the rapid development of the advertising industry. For laser equipment manufacturers, this is both an opportunity and a challenge. In order to occupy the market, we must consider factors such as increasing the operating speed, increasing the technical content, improving the accuracy of processing, and improving the stability of the system.
