Maker Video: Money Saving Box Made by Plexiglas Cut and Engraved Letter on TruCUT Laser Cutting and Engraving Machine

Putting money aside for a rainy day in money boxes was something that most of us enjoyed doing as a kids. Money boxes can be any storage facility that comes with a spacious slot that is extensive to put in your money but small enough to prevent you from taking out that money. You have some people that prefer to buy theirs, and some that actually custom make it themselves.

Harrogate shows us how they go about making personalized saving boxes by making use of Plexiglas substrate and AM’s TruCUT C02 laser cutting and engraving machine.

The quick and extensive shock caused by COVID-19 and the lockdown measures to control the spread has brought the global economy to its knees. According to World Bank forecasts, the global economy will reduce by 5.2% this year alone. This will amount to the worst recession since the Second World War.

Economic activity among advanced economies is also anticipated to diminish further as domestic demand and supply, trade, and finance have been greatly thrown into disarray.

So it is very important to save money in every way possible.

Why Use PlexiGlas?

Plexiglas is a flimsy substrate that maintains its strength even when revealed to the elements. Even though it’s a light material, its durability is unmatched. As it’s so tough, you can feel confident that you won’t cause any accidental damage while transporting and installing it.

Plexiglas is tougher than wood, glass and metal. If you’re looking to buy external signage that does not require repairs and replacements continually, then Plexiglas is the right substrate to go for. Plexiglas signage will survive under the most severe environmental conditions when compared to other substrates. It is the best choice for those who are fixated on quality.
Processing Plexiglas with AM’s TruCUT laser and engraving machine.

One of the biggest advantage of the machine is that the cutting tool is a non-contact, highly focused beam of light producing a mark. This brings about the least tooling wear and tear.
The laser process is non-contact thereby reducing the chance of mould damage and malformation. This is all because the laser beam does not wear and creates highly precise, repeatable engraving.

Laser marking works well with different object shapes and sizes too. This may be big and uncomplicated items, or it could be tiny and complicated ones.

This procedure leaves behind exact, precise and blue ribbon markings that are easy to read by the human eye and machinery as well.

The beams used in This procedure uses beams that are very strong, dependable and manageable.
