How Laser Engraving Wood Works?
Engraving wood using a laser cutter is just like a hot knife through butter. It makes wood Engraving easier than ever before. Most importantly, the finishing, accuracy, and quality of the cut are exceptional, which is impossible through other wood Engraving tools.
A laser Engraving machine contains a powerful laser source that emits laser beams. These beams are concentrated at a very small point by using a convex lens. Due to the merger of the laser beams at the point, the beams can produce intense heat energy after contact with any material that can absorb them. The temperature of the material increases quickly and converts the material into vapors. This is called sublimation, a process in which matter changes its state from solid to gas without going through the liquid phase.
In the case of wood, the reaction of the laser is a bit different. When the beams interact with wood, the wood starts to burn due to high temperature, removing the material from the surface, and if the power is high, the laser passes through the piece of wood and cuts it into pieces.
The burning of wood through a laser produces minimal ash, soot, and particles. The waste is much less than Engraving the same wood using a saw. You get clean pieces with fine edges.
Wood laser cutting machine offers incredible speed and optimal accuracy. Depending on the power of a desktop laser cutter, the Engraving speed can be 250mm/s or even more. The best part is that you only need to import the design to the laser cutter software, then the machine does everything on its own.
You can cut intricate designs, which is not possible by using a power tool. The accuracy of the laser machines is commendable. The laser spot is minimal and can engrave and cut materials with minimal Kerf width. You can cut identical designs as many times as you like and even have multiple passes on the same pattern without any errors or doubling.
