If you’re into mug engraving or simply designing mugs and other items that are a bit fragile, it’s best to use laser engraving machines for this type of job. Why? Because with fragile items, you have to be extra careful when making a design on their surface. There’s no other machine that is as precise and safe as a laser engraving machine. If you use one, you will not have to worry about anything when engraving mugs, for instance.
Precision
Laser engravers are the most precise instruments when it comes to making designs on any material. Unlike traditional engraving machines, laser engravers do not physically touch the surface of the mug or glass that you’re using. This means that when you’re using a laser engraver, you’re not literally scraping off the surface of the item you’re designing. Instead, you’re burning off the surface. You can adjust the strength of the beam or its intensity that you burn off only a fraction of a millimeter of the surface and nothing more.
Using a laser engraver enables you to adjust how deep you can etch the surface of any material you’re using. If you’re designing something on a glass, you can’t go deeper than an inch; otherwise, you might break the whole glass. As a result, you will have to start all over again.
Intricate Designs
Laser engravers are high-precision instruments. When you’re using fragile materials, this feature is very important because you’ll minimize errors in production and be more cost-effective. A laser engraver will also enable you to make the most intricate designs on the most fragile materials. If you want to design a rose on a glass, using traditional tools may be effective. However, it will take you weeks up to months to do something like that. You will need to be extra careful while designing the rose. However, if you’re using a laser engraver, you can adjust the beam to your specifications, which won’t be too intense that you’ll burn off the whole surface. You can easily design the rose without worrying that you’ll chip off more than you need. This way you can finish your design in a day, enabling you to move on to other projects, while your contemporaries who are still using traditional tools are still working on their first project.
Also, laser engravers can be used in designing shirts. You can design any logo for any shirt with so much ease and precision. You don’t have to use the traditional way of designing shirts such as screen printing, which is tedious and requires changing the screen every time you need to add a design.
Safety
Laser engravers are also much safer than traditional tools because they’re often housed in tight light boxes, while traditional engraving tools have sharp edges that can cut your skin.
Laser engravers are the better method when it comes to designing logos or artwork on any material, be it on a mug, glass, wooden plank, or even jewelry. They are more precise and safer than most other tools. Due to their precision, you can make the most intricate designs without the hassle and at a much faster rate, enabling your production team to be more productive.
