Hi Team
Had a customer ask if I can engrave Plastic. (Unsure of the excat type)
The image will be a barcode. Has any one successfully engraved Plastic on a diode laser. What settings do you use?
Specifically for a barcode would you know if engraving a barcode be scanned?
Is there an easy way to generate a barcode through light burn?
Cheers Andrew
Most plastics will engrave or cut, but stay away from Ploycarbonate (LEXAN & similr) Then give off NASTY fumes.
It all depends on the type of plastic. Most will just melt with a diode and won’t give clear images. Depends on the size of the barcode, I guess, as to whether you get a sharp image or not.
