3D LASER ENGRAVING
High Definition Contoured Deep Engraving
Substantial investment in premium quality MOPA fibre lasers, especially the introduction of 2.5D and 3D in our laser machinery portfolio has opened up inordinate possibilities for customers.3D laser engraving uses high-intensity laser beams to remove material at varying depths, creating intricate textures, relief patterns, or designs suspended inside transparent materials
Curved Surface Engraving: Our advanced machines use sensors or 3D models of an object to adjust the laser's focus in real-time, allowing for precise engraving on irregular or cylindrical surfaces like bottles or jewelry. Diamond Engravers have two top end lasers currently providing 3D engraving, the latest machine also has upgraded software and rotary capability by providing 360 degree continuous rotation unlike all other lasers which have limited ability with split lines and difficulty to get a continuous flow across filled areas without lines showing up in the design. Another feature is the repeat engraving stop and start on the rotary so multiple engravings can be achieved without loss of accuracy and no ghosting.
The 3D Engraving facility is fully supported with advanced modelling software and expertise to design and produce 3D STL files suitable for achieving top quality, detailed contoured deep engraving profiles no standard fibre laser can produce. With the capability of varying depth and detail as a function of the cost and time to engrave a profile means that customers can choose a balance between layer heights of 0.005 mm and less to suit the required finish and detail.
Core Advantages
• Ability to Mark Complex Shapes: Unlike 2D lasers that are restricted to flat surfaces, 3D systems can engrave on curved, sloped, cylindrical, and uneven surfaces. The laser follows the material's contour, maintaining consistent depth and clarity across varying heights
. • Dynamic Focus Control: A 3D system uses a dynamic Z-axis to adjust the focal length in milliseconds as the beam moves. This eliminates the "fuzzy" or blurred edges typically seen on the periphery of large 2D marking areas or on curved surfaces.
• Deep Relief and Textured Carving: 3D laser engraving creates true depth and tactile texture by removing material layer by layer. This "relief engraving" is used for high-end artistic works, industrial molds, and security markings that cannot be easily mimicked.
• Efficiency and Speed: 3D systems often eliminate the need for mechanical rotary tools or manual height adjustments. This leads to faster cycle times and higher throughput in production environments. D

Key Benefits of 3D Laser Engraving:
• Superior Precision & Quality: Achieves micron-level detail, crisp edges, and consistent depth, creating lifelike textures and high-quality finishes.
• Handles Complex Surfaces: Automatically adjusts focus to engrave curved, sloped, cylindrical, and irregular shapes smoothly, unlike traditional 2D methods.
• Increased Speed & Efficiency: Faster than traditional methods, with automation capabilities, boosting throughput for mass production and quick turnaround.
• Material Versatility: Works on a wide range of metals including silver and gold • Non-Contact Process: Reduces material wear, damage, and contamination, preserving the integrity of delicate items.
• Durable & Permanent Results: Creates marks resistant to wear, fading, chemicals, and heat, ensuring long-lasting traceability and aesthetic appeal.
• Eco-Friendly: A cleaner process that uses light instead of inks, chemicals, or consumables, generating less waste. • Enhanced Personalization & Aesthetics: Allows for deep, multi-color effects, intricate designs, and customization, adding significant visual appeal and value to products.
Applications: • Manufacturing: Traceability codes, part marking, mold making. • Jewelry & Luxury Goods: Personalization, intricate designs, brand marking. • Electronics: Component marking. • Art & Decor: Creating detailed relief, 3D art, and decorative items.
