There are many kinds of laser equipment on the market, roughly summarized as follows: laser marking, laser welding, laser cutting, laser internal carving, laser drilling, laser demonstration, laser plate making machine, laser cosmetic, laser medical, laser coding, laser heat treatment and so on. They are laser technology and software control technology of the crystallization of the product, for the modern industrial civilization has brought vitality.
With the laser engraving equipment in the application of technology, process development and promotion, laser plane marking, engraving equipment manufacturing and sales has shown a good upward trend. Domestic companies engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of laser equipment, as well as agents of foreign laser equipment is rapidly increasing. Competition is also increasingly fierce.
But all the laser equipment in the domestic market are stuck in the laser plane engraving stage, there is not yet a company or scientific research unit can come up with a laser three-dimensional engraving system. Some fine three-dimensional mold engraving still rely on computer machine engraving, or hand engraving. But the machine carving and hand carving have great weaknesses and limitations, restricting the development of some fine craft. There have been several domestic laser research institutions in the laser three-dimensional engraving machine research.
In the field of engraving, the domestic traditional mechanical engraving equipment to do the best is Beijing Jingdiao, which won a huge market and success in solving the fine engraving mold. However, due to the inherent limitations of mechanical knife carving, there are still many high precision end of the carving can not be realized. A part of the field, had to resort to highly skilled manual craftsmanship, hand carving or mold repair work. In the laser engraving mold, there is Guilin Star Laser, which is mainly the use of stronger power laser marking machine sold to the mold manufacturing industry, sales trend is good. But because of its engraving technology can only carve plane text and patterns, from the laser three-dimensional engraving there is still a distance, so its in the field can not show their hands.
Laser three-dimensional engraving system (English name: 3D laser engraving system) is a new member of the family of laser equipment, is another important symbol of the progress of laser technology, is the mold manufacturing industry's tool. Laser three-dimensional precision engraving mold refers to the high energy laser beam in the mold material or copper electrode engraved on the two-dimensional or three-dimensional shape you need. At the same time, it is fundamentally different from the crystal engraving machine, crystal engraving machine three-dimensional concept is a certain density of point cloud caused by the feeling of three-dimensional image, and can only be applied to crystal crafts. The laser three-dimensional engraving machine is through the accurate CAD software technology to achieve the three-dimensional solid space engraving, so it can not only be applied in the general product finishing field, but also can be applied to the mold manufacturing field.
Foreign countries, there have been equipment manufacturers to develop the corresponding laser three-dimensional engraving system and applications, and has been the sales tentacles into the country. There are several business agents of this type of equipment, but there is no prototype yet, its selling price of more than one million dollars. Such as the Canadian VIRTEK company developed FOBA.G-SERIES, also mainly used in the mold engraving industry.
