Um... unfortunately not. If I worked there, I'd have a lot of money, I'd be sitting in Bali right now, not replying to comments. I apologize for my English (it's not my first language). Maybe, that's why difficult to understand my message. I gave Wattsan(manufacturer's) as his url for other users, for information. Because in the future, I want to show my work on forum and maybe ask for advice. And, in order each time not to write manually brand machine I put it in the profile and the signature. if someone will be interested, perhaps...

Oh cool! Thanks, I'll check it out!

Are you sure you have taken a close look at the machine. There is a cover and a hood. Then what is wrong with it. What I meant was, if you work without closing the lid, can the hood handle it, or do you have to close the lid? I haven't experimented, so I asked for an opinion.

Thank you very much for the advice. There is ventilation + I close the lid of the machine when working, but if you work non-stop, of course, it doesn't help so much. Hmm... interesting! Okay, thanks, I'll look it up.

Yes, the signature link is to the manufacturer of the CNC machine on which I work. The signature was made for that if anyone is interested, I can give real advice on the machine as a user. I am constantly improving my skills, so I read various articles, including the Wattsan site, and ask for advice on forums.

I read in an article, Because smoke and bad smell are emitted during machining leather, it is necessary to use an exhaust system of the laser machine. When engraving and cutting of faux leather is performed, harmful for human's health stuff, hydrogen chloride, evolves. Inhaling of this gas can cause serious harm and even death. I have a question, if the hood can not cope, you can use the lid of the machine (close during work). For some reason, I thought all laser machines close just when working with harmful masters. or am I just lucky enough to have a cool CO2 laser machine?

Thank you very much.!!

Natural leather is an organic material. A laser beam does not affect the leather itself but substances, tannins and dye staff, that it is cured with. The better the pretreatment, the better will be the result obtained with the laser machine. Quality of engraving and cutting of leather is also determined by how properly the parameters of power and speed are set up. If the settings are not correct, leather can flame up or shrivel. The quality of processing on the laser machine affects how long the result remains intact. Faux leather engraving and cutting Faux leather can be cut and engraved on the laser machine. However, it is not recommended to perform deep engraving. When the depth is too big, the material starts to fringe, crumble, and its particles come off. Even if the product looks nice immediately after the treatment, it will wear out quickly. When choosing parameters for engraving on faux leather, it is recommended to make a sample item first. Set up the minimal power of the laser machine and gradually increase it until you get the desired result of engraving or cutting.

It's quite a big collection.

Leather Fiber optic markers are not designed to work with organics, and leather is an organic material. How, then, can a marker work on skin? In fact, the laser does not interact with the skin itself, but with the materials it is treated with - tannins, dyes, and more. Therefore, depending on the origin of the leather, its preparation and processing will determine the quality and characteristics of the engraving, including the power and speed settings. The same leather, treated and prepared differently, will also behave differently when engraved. It can gobble, or it will burn or engrave normally, the engraving can be durable or will crumble and deteriorate depending on the quality of the leather. So before selling the final product, it is very important to try beforehand what the quality of the engraving will turn out to be. Leathercloth Most often this material is handled quite well, but we do not recommend doing a deep engraving, because the upper layers will fringe, crumble, come off and the product will quickly fall into disrepair.

Thank you, Bonnie!

Cool! monster machine

Okay! I just don't understand why there is so much question about the Lexus logo. I didn't write anywhere that I was selling it! I wrote about the engraving on the leather and I BELIEVED an EXAMPLE OF WORK, NOT MY WORK! I didn't appropriate it for myself. the photo is freely available.

On the forum, everyone writes about their work, ask questions, talk about some brands, share their experiences. I am no different. Stop accusing me of something I didn't do.

This photo is freely available on Google, I'm not violating anything, wake up! Yes, I work on a specific CNC machine. If I talk about my work, I show which machine or what tools are used to make it. It's easy! I don't have my own store.

Phaha...Sorry, I don't resell brands. I write useful articles, share experiences, and show examples in examples FOR THE UNDERSTANDING. If it's so scary, I can write posts without pictures.

Yes, you are absolutely right. And in this case, I didn't want to show my work so I wouldn't get scolded for advertising. I took samples of my work from the Internet, so I was accused anyway. Although I just shared my experience in the article.

This not my own work. I shared the article and just gave visual examples. Stop panic!

I never thought that it possible to combine my love of cars and CNC machines in my life. As a result, I do unique car interior engraving and am happy with my results. Let me tell you more... The advent of laser engraving technology has changed car interior design. Guided by the individualized car interior, car owners have more opportunities to make the interior of the car more colorful. The interiors of mass-produced car models tend to look the same. For consumers seeking a great experience, a "customized" car interior is more in keeping with the car owner's own style. Laser engraved car interiors are designed to create a soulful driving space. In general, anyone interested, I can tell you more about the work process, how easy it is to have a good CO2 laser machine at home. Or you can just order the engraving, but it is not so interesting

Fiber optic markers are not designed to work with organics. And leather is an organic material. Then how does the marker work on leather? The laser does not interact with the skin itself, but with the materials it is treated with - tannins, dyes. Therefore, depending on the pre-treatment and processing of the leather, the quality and characteristics of the engraving will depend, as well as the power and speed settings of the machine. The same leather, treated differently, when engraved will behave differently. In some cases, it may even shrink and catch fire. Also, how long the engraving lasts depends on this. Engraving on leatherette I do not recommend doing a deep engraving leatherette, because the upper layers will crumble and come off, so the product will quickly become unusable. Let's take two identical covers of different colors. The black one has deep engraving. And you can already see that these triangles will soon begin to come off. And on the brown cover - set the power lower and the result is noticeably better. Therefore, when processing leatherette is better to start with low power, although perhaps the color also played a role here, because black absorbs more heat. Recommendations An important nuance when engraving leather and leatherette - smoke and odor. If when engraving leather, it's going to smell like you're "burning a pig," then leatherette is often made of PVC. This is harmful, both to your health and to the laser marking machine itself. When PVC burns, it releases hydrogen chloride, a poisonous gas with a pungent odor. It can be deadly to inhale. And on skin and mucous membranes, it can cause severe burns. For the machine, it is fraught with the fact that it will quickly become covered with rust and, accordingly, more quickly fail. To prevent this from happening, you need to run an exhaust hood, to protect your hands, eyes, lungs and your machine.

CNC machining is a manufacturing process where computer software controls the movement of tools and machinery. For decades, it has been a stable manufacturing process and has become one of the main manufacturing methods for precision manufacturing. But in recent years, CNC machining has been challenged by rapidly developing technology: 3D printing, which is an additive manufacturing process that builds the desired part up layer by layer. But for CNC machinists who are concerned about losing their jobs, here is an opinion that might cheer you up: 3D printing is unlikely to replace CNC Machining, at least in the near future. Accuracy In terms of accuracy, CNC machining is superior to all 3D printing processes. Though some 3D printers promise high precision, they easily fail to deliver it from time to time. Due to the technical process of 3D printing, internal stress can be produced during the object solidification and causes the deformation. 3D printers lack the precision which is needed for mission-critical cases. Even with Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology, the accuracy of CNC machines is hard, if not impossible, to be replicated by 3D printing. Speed Generally, 3D printing uses a slow process to heat the material into liquid, create layers of material, and then form the desired product, so even at the best speed, 3D printers cannot catch up with CNC machining. CNC machines can directly finish a task while the output from 3D printers usually requires separate steps, which makes the 3D printing process less efficient than the CNC process. A project that could take CNC machining less than an hour would take a 3D printer hours to get the task done. Material Compared to CNC machining, 3D printing has limited material options. Though both 3D printing and CNC machining are compatible with a wide range of materials, including both plastics and metals, 3D printing is more focused on thermoplastics, like PLA, ABS, or resins. On the other hand, CNC machining can work on a huge variety of materials in addition to thermoplastics: metal alloys (like aluminum, copper, steel alloys, brass), woods, acrylic, modeling foams, machining wax. The interfaces for tools necessary for different materials and the CNC machine are usually standardized, so machinists can easily exchange desired materials. Conclusion Overall to conclude, CNC machining has many advantages over 3D printing, which makes it will not be completely replaced by 3D printing anytime soon. But it is about which one is better than the other. As there is no perfect technique, CNC machining and 3D printing will co-exist and complement each other in the near future. Both technologies are very useful and have strengths suitable for specialized applications. If the question is “Which one is better”, it totally depends on the budget, material, manufacturing volume, and geometric complexity.

Are there any CO2 Laser Cutting Engraving Machine owners here? I have for you original ideas for summer products, both for personal use and for gifts. Just sharing ideas... This summer I saw some amazing laser engraving designs outside from key rings and signs, to jewellery and personalized décor. You can use various types of wood, including reclaimed, birch, cherry, maple and oak to do some product interesting for others. wooden surfboard on Using a laser wood cutting machine, you can cut and engrave parts at the same time. Let’s cheer each other up. Share your creations! This wood sign was a brilliant addition for a summerhouse/garden pub. wooden keyrings (summer theme)

I want to make a gift like this to my friend. Who can tell me what kind of wood is better? I'm not a big professional, but I have a little co2 laser cutter and engraver machine for wood. I need a more convenient material to work with, and of course, to get a beautiful result.
