I know that diamond engraving tends to be used for engraved jewelry.
I have a 30W MOPA fiber laser and would like to engrave something like this.
I have already spent a few days engraving various materials. Unfortunately, I always have the same problems. Either the engraving is very superficial and barely recognizable or very deep and burnt.
My current attitude:
30% power
30 mm/s speed
1000 frequency
50 Pulse width
1 pass
Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to engrave stainless steel and silver so that it comes close to this result?
Hello, Patrick
Where did you get those parameters?
Im not near my laser right now but my setting would be around 42KHz and qpulse 200, speed would be 1000+/-?
Ill check back in tonight when I can be more specific.
Take a look at lasertips.org for some good quick parameters.
Lots of rotated passes. Angle increment
Play with these, adjust power and passes to suit. I really find lots of passes using angle increment produces best results. Like 10 passes @ 36 deg, 20 @18, 200@1.8, etc.
