Fiber Laser Metal Pocket Folding Knife Engraving Design, Position & Laser Engrave Hatch Techniques
Fibre Laser engraving is a fascinating technique that allows for precise and intricate designs to be etched onto various materials. In this video, we demonstrate the process of engraving artwork on a metal pocket folding knife using a Fiber Laser Engraving Machine from AM.CO.ZA. This article provides an overview of the video, highlighting the steps involved in the engraving process and showcasing the impressive results.
The Engraving Process:
Two friends have requested identical artwork to be engraved on two knife blades. The goal is to ensure that the artwork aligns perfectly on both blades. The first step is to measure and mark the desired position of the artwork on each blade, using specific measurements for accuracy. It is important to get both knifes the same.
Moving on to the laser engraving stage, we load the artwork onto the laser marking software. It's important to ensure that the artwork is the correct size and properly positioned. The laser bed needs to be leveled to ensure precise engraving. After performing a test, adjustments are made to achieve the desired engraving depth.
The laser settings, including speed, power, and frequency, are carefully configured to ensure optimal results. The engraving process begins, and the craftsman closely monitors the progress. By using a scrap piece of metal with a similar thickness to the blade, the craftsman adjusts the laser's focus to ensure precise engraving.
Through a series of test engravings, we evaluate the depth and clarity of the artwork. Adjustments may be required, such as increasing the size or thickness of the artwork lines to achieve the desired outcome. Once satisfied with the test results, the actual engraving commences.
The Final Result:
The craftsman reveals a beautiful, goldish-brown design that stands out magnificently on the metal surface. The artwork is accurately positioned, and the engraving depth is perfect, creating a stunning visual effect.
Conclusion:
Fiber Laser Marking Machines offers a remarkable way to transform ordinary objects into personalized works of art. This video demonstrates the meticulous process involved in engraving artwork on knife blades, emphasizing the importance of precision and careful adjustments. The end result is a remarkable piece that showcases the skill and creativity that can be achieved.
