3d Fiber Laser Metal Engraving Machine

3D fiber laser engraving machine is a high-tech equipment which uses fiber laser to perform precise three-dimensional engraving and cutting. Compared with traditional processing methods, this laser engraving machine has higher precision, faster processing speed and wider material adaptability. It is mainly used for engraving, marking, cutting and surface treatment of metal materials, and is widely used in industrial manufacturing, artistic creation, jewelry design and electronics industry.

Working Principle

The working principle of 3D fiber laser engraving machine mainly includes the following steps:

Laser generation:

The fiber laser is the core component of the device, which converts the light energy of the pump light (usually diode laser) into a laser beam by using a rare earth element doped fiber as the gain medium.

The fiber has good beam quality and high efficiency, and the laser is generated to form a high-intensity laser beam through the output mirror.

Laser Focusing:

The produced laser beam is focused by an optical system (e.g. a focusing lens) onto a very small spot of light. This spot has a very high energy density on the material surface and is able to heat the material instantaneously.

Engraving process:

The machine controls the movement of the laser head in three dimensions by means of a numerical control (CNC). Based on the design file inputted by the computer, the laser beam moves along a specific path.

The laser irradiates the surface of the metal material layer by layer, causing evaporation, melting or vaporization of the material surface to form the desired pattern or shape. This process allows for very complex three-dimensional structures.

Cooling and fume extraction:

During processing, due to the high energy concentration of the laser on the material, the heat generated needs to be controlled. A cooling system is usually in place to keep the equipment working properly.

At the same time, the engraving process will produce smoke and gas, and these wastes need to be effectively eliminated through the smoke exhaust system to keep the working environment clean and safe.

Post-processing (optional):

In some cases, the metal surface after engraving may need to be polished, cleaned or other surface treatment steps to achieve the desired appearance and quality.

The 3D fiber laser engraving machine achieves efficient and fine metal engraving through advanced fiber laser technology and precise mechanical control. It is an indispensable processing tool with a wide range of applications in modern manufacturing and artistic creation.

2. Adopting 3D fine marking system software, it can meet various manual engraving needs, such as relief patterns, deep engraving, shade engraving, etc., which improves the three-dimensional sense of details.

3. Subvert the traditional two-dimensional marking mode, to achieve all-round marking, can be engraved bevel, cylinder, cone, sphere and other different 3D shapes.

4. Large processing width, marking range can be adjusted according to the specific processing requirements, and there is no defocus phenomenon during the whole process.

5. Infrared focusing system does not need to measure the focal length, which is more convenient to work.

6. Support 3D model import, 2D graphics can be directly wrapped or projected onto the built-in common surface.

Suitable for working with most metal marking applications such as Gold, Silver, Stainless Steel, Brass, Aluminum, Steel, Iron Titanium etc., and can also mark on many nonmetal materials, such as ABS, Nylon, PES, PVC etc.

YAG laser: mainly used for industrial applications, suitable for deep processing of metals.

2. Laser power

The higher the power, the faster the cutting and engraving speed is usually, and the thickness of the material to be cut increases. For applications that require deep cutting, high power lasers are available.

3. Processing Range

Depending on the size of your workpiece, choose the right size of work area. Large materials require a laser engraver with a large table.

4. Resolution and Accuracy
