What Plastic Can Be Engraved On? – Guide to Laser-Compatible Thermoplastics

Standard cast acrylic, acrylic sheet and other cast resins usually laser well.

Many products made of plastic, such as light switch panels and many other panels, are laser engraved. Note, however, that with all types of laser engraver, styrene and other thermoformed plastics will melt around the edges of the engraved point and the engraving result may not be sharp enough, so please do not engrave with high power lasers. Requires super sharp edges.

When you plan to engrave plastic, we recommend that you conduct an orderly experiment with your samples.

Can Atomstack laser engravers be used to engrave stone, glass and mirrors?

Stone and glass don't vaporize easily, but with just the right amount of power and speed can achieve excellent results. Having said that, experimentation with samples is recommended.

There are two ways to engrave a mirror. The first is to engrave the glass surface of the mirror with suitable power and speed. Of course, blacken the surface before engraving. A new form of mirror engraving, the laser pulses through the reflective silver layer on the rear of the mirror, so the glass face remains intact, maintaining total reflection quality. After the engraving process, you can "fill" a new coat to fill in the laser details in the mirror if you wish.

Both X-axis and Y-axis have accurate scale lines, which is convenient for you to quickly check the length. The large-area engraving range of 200x200mm can meet your different engraving needs. This machine adopts an integrated lead screw instead of a combined coupling, and the stepping motor and lead screw are integrally formed, which makes the laser movement more accurate, the coupling more durable, and the laser has a button, which is more convenient and quick to adjust the height.

ATOMSTACK A5 M40 laser engraver adopts advanced compressed laser spot technology to make the laser beam more concentrated, the spot is 0.16x0.19mm, which is smaller than other lasers, the more concentrated high-density laser allows you to easily cut 6mm thick wood and acrylic, Smooth stainless steel and ceramics can also be engraved.

The shield covering the laser perfectly protects the eyes of everyone around the machine, filtering 97% of UV rays, saving you the cost of goggles and the inconvenience of wearing them.

The all-metal construction makes the machine strong and stable, which is essential for the precise laser engraving process. The machine can be assembled in 10-20 minutes. The more advanced one-piece screw is used instead of the combined coupling, which is integrated with the stepper motor, so that the laser movement is super smooth and precise, which greatly prolongs the service life of the machine.

The adjustment knob is added to the laser module, which makes the laser focusing more convenient and no longer needs to be tightened.

Atomstack A5 M30 laser engraver equipped with a laser module generates 5~5.5W output laser, 0.3mm*0.5mm light spot. Easily engrave on Acrylic, Wood, Leather, Plastic and Metal, cut 3mm thick Wood, Acrylic and Rubber.
