  1. 3/28/2012 Making Sense of Laser Markable Metals Instructor - Andrew Marvin Introduction Who we are: Horizons Imaging Systems Group (ISG)- a developer and manufacturer of unique, high-value aluminum based identification products. Including: Non-Biased Approach: objective evaluation 12 leading laser-markable metals. Where to buy materials mentioned today:  USA: Bur-Lane, Inc., Johnson Plastics, Gravograph, LaserBits, Marco Awards Group, PDU Company, ID Plates  Canada: Engraver’s Express, Techno Gestass, Canadian Engraver’s Supply 1

  2. 3/28/2012 Course Objectives 1. Why laser markable metals. 2. What laser markable metals are available. 3. How to properly lase the metals. 4. When to use these metals. 5. How to choose the right metal. 2

  3. 3/28/2012 Why Laser Markable Metals? Vs. Why Laser Markable Metals? =$  More Profitable  Higher Perceived Value  More Durable  Industrial/Military Specifications  Unique 3

  4. 3/28/2012 Why Laser Markable Metals? 4

  5. 3/28/2012 Why Laser Markable Metals? PULSE OF THE INDUSTRY (STEVE SPENCE 2012): ANDY: With a number of substrates available on the market today, how important are metals? STEVE: “More important than ever. The new metals and the options they bring to the market place are phenomenal but often overlooked. There are all kinds of options now we didn’t have a couple of years ago. These afford exterior applications, signage and a whole new world to high-end plaques and awards . Metal is metal . There is no substitute for it. If you put (plastic) on a plaque in the place of real brass, the customer’s first comment is always the same, „It‟s plastic!‟” 5

  6. 3/28/2012 But First, Factors to Consider  Base Material  Appearance  Durability  Imaging Process  Price Types of Laser Markable “Metals” Metallic Paint Engravable Plastics Etched Area Black Acrylic Engravable Lacquer Paint Etched Area Metals Metal Positive Clear Layer Image Transformation Metals Metal Bleachable Black Organic Layer Bleached Mark Metals Metal Ceramic Bonding Bonded Ceramic Metals Metal 6

  8. 3/28/2012 Laser Engraving Techniques CO 2 Laser 101 12-75 watt units Laser Engraving Techniques CO 2 Laser 101 - Operation Variables Power How much power is the laser producing, percent of total power. Speed How fast is the laser traveling, percent of total speed. DPI How close each pass is to the previous in the “Y” direction. Tuning Typically an advanced setting on Universal Lasers, controls how current sweep of the laser lines up with the previous sweep. 8
