Engrave PHOTOS on Aluminum with a Fiber Laser! | ULTRASOUND IMAGES
Рет қаралды 15,139
Күн бұрынToday we're working on these aluminum business cards but we're doing something a little different. To celebrate my new baby girl (she's due any day now) we're engraving ULTRASOUND keepsake cards! We'll be doing our raster image prep in LightBurn and building a cool base template in Adobe Illustrator. These are super cool guys, it's like you're looking at the ultrasound on the monitor! So excited to share these with you. Enjoy!

@LaserEverything 2 жыл бұрын
Though expensive I do prefer to have both. I'm an AI fanboy because it's the software I learned on but having some kind of dedicated vector editing software + lightburn is an unstoppable combo, especially because lightburn is so cheap and a one time purchase. Pays to have access to it.

@bergyeghyazarian3023 Жыл бұрын
When i follow these steps and try to enrgave a picture, ezcad just engraves a blank gray area on my black business card. Same card you are using in the video and also a 30W fiber laser. Can you tell me what i might be doing wrong or how to solve the problem?
@MadebyLeth 2 жыл бұрын
This is a really great video and a really great idea! I have a question that I hope you might be able to help me with. I am a self-taught jewelry designer and I would love to do laser engravings on my jewelry and I have looked a bit at the fiber laser EM-smart one, I know nothing about the actual use of a fiber laser or if it is any good, so I hoped maybe you would share your thoughts about it?
@LaserEverything 2 жыл бұрын
They are fine for small work areas, and I mean small like two to three inches and light engravings. For anything bigger 4 to 6 in, or any considerable depth I would highly recommend checking out one of the split style marking systems like the 30W mactron linked in the description. I like cloud Ray and they have decent machines but literally everything hangs on the company you decide to pay to build your machine. Some people just throw them together and will literally ship garbage that breaks two weeks after you order it and you never hear from them again so don't go for the cheapest thing you find because you will definitely regret it. Even if it means saving for a little bit longer to get something a little more mid-range. I really really think it pays off in the long run, especially in this industry.
@MadebyLeth 2 жыл бұрын
@@LaserEverything Thank you very much for the detailed answer! My reluctance around the EM-smart one is also the lack of video reviews of it, that was also why I wanted to ask someone who knew more about it than me, so again thank you very much for the answer. Keep up the great work!

This is awesome, im going to give it a shot. I have a quick question, I always seem to have issues trying to engrave gray scale type of images or vector files, my laser just engraves it in a solid white color (when engraving in black aluminum like this vid), do you have any tips?

Can you get similar results with a diode laser?
@LaserEverything 2 жыл бұрын
Yes but the engraved areas will be silver, not white, because the diode won't ablate the surface so you'll just be seeing the raw aluminum under the anodizing.

Has anyone engraved these using Lightburn for Galvo yet? Just wondering how the settings translate over, having a tough time getting this to work with my 60W Mopa Fiber.

Hi, Just a quick question to an expert. I have a ghost issue on my new fiber laser. Example engraving a letter E, then after engraving it have shadow. As Increase laser power, the shadow is more obvious on objects, it is about ~1-1mm "Slip" on each axis. What can cause problem? Lens is clear, focus is ok, I use original factory setup. Thanks

In ADVANCED under your speed, power and frequency there are two settings called MIN and MAX Jump Delay. Try setting both to 500 and mark again - should resolve your issue.

You can do this process in Lightburn, but I would suggest checking out our more updated photo guide (it's a longer set of videos) but is 100% worth it. You'll get a much nicer outcome than we got from this as a byproduct of getting the understanding of the science of it, it'll be more easy, and discusses the how/why to get the results more easily and with lightburn or ezcad.
