Laser Technology: What You Really Need to Know |

 LASER Technology: What you Really Need to Know As hard it may seem to believe, lasers have been used for engraving purposes for over 20 years now. And in that timeframe, there have been many changes, resulting in a technology that is increasingly more user friendly, less expensive, and more versatile than ever.
The Technology
Lasers, like many of our inventions, first came to existence in laboratories where scientists discovered that, by creating a light source and focusing the energy, one could produce a medium powerful enough to burn through certain materials. Control the burn and you have a powerful tool used for a wide range of industrial purposes including welding, heat treating, cutting, etching, and engraving. The process is not unlike using a magnifying glass in the sun. Through the diligent work of scientists and later engineers, a variety of mediums for making such a light source were discovered, giving us a variety of lasers , each suited for a specific purpose or purposes. For the engraving industry, the most common laser is called a CO2 (named for the gasses that create the light source.) |
