In the past few years, laser engraving technology has gradually conquered the engraving market. It has made so much remarkable progress in the market, that the other types have been relegated, except on special occasions.
Most people in the engraving industry have adopted the laser system because of the high-quality results it produces when done. It has almost become a revolution, with more and more people using the latest engraving technique. It is generally recognized for its precise and neat final output.
Among all the different types of jewellery engravings available, including hand engravings and rotary machine engravings, Laser technology is best for the most excellent and long-lasting kind of engraving.
The most significant reasons that make the laser engraving technology stand out include speed, accuracy, fewer expenses, and the standard it offers. Other factors that contribute to the excellent characteristics of the laser technique are listed in this article.
- DYNAMISM: In the traditional system of hand engraving jewellery, engraving tools differ from jewellery type to type. For example, the device for engraving on gold differs from that used on silver, copper, platinum, or bronze, respectively.
Each metal requires a different system of engraving technique, and this is something that makes the laser system stand out. In a manufacturing factory for jewellery, one laser machine can be used on every type of metal. The machine can also be used to engrave on several pieces simultaneously.
Laser technology is more efficient, but it is also incredibly time-saving. Aside from metal engravings, laser technology can be used on other types of non-metallic surfaces like wood, plastic, and lead.
One laser machine can also be used on any personalized engraved jewellery: necklaces, bracelets, rings, watches, or earrings. It involves the same process for each of the different types, and you can use a laser for any shape, size, or design you desire for your piece of jewellery.
- FLEXIBILITY: Have you ever been in a situation where you saw an attractive type of engraving and thought to yourself, “that design is adorable. I wish I could get something like that on my necklace”, but you were told it would be impossible to have on your jewellery because of the design type? With the laser technology, you wouldn’t have to worry about the specific style of engraving that can or cannot work with your choice of jewellery.
The flexibility of the laser technology makes it possible to have any design, complex or rare, on your jewellery. Also, if you are not one for the bogus type of engravings, the laser can engrave even the littlest design or font size on your jewellery, regardless of the kind.
This laser technology can also be used to engrave all kinds of things, including photos, illustrations, and dates. Some corporations even employ their professional logo on a piece of personalized handwriting engraved jewellery, like a lapel or ring.
- No Contact Process: The laser machinery used for the engravings is specifically designed to be a non-contact process of engraving. When using the laser machine, light rays from the laser are designed to fall on the metal, wooden, or plastic’s surface, and that’s how the desired shape, design, or illustration is engraved on the jewellery.
Once the engraving is done, the material worked on is automatically removed. This means that the machine doesn't touch the jewellery at all during the engraving process, from start to finish. Only the beams make contact with the surface of the material.
The great advantage that the no-contact process gives is a way to engrave your jewellery without jeopardizing the standard of your jewellery. Also, the machine doesn’t have a mobile part, so there is no chance of wearing out your jewellery.
In earlier times, jewellery engraving involved hands and the probability of damage or incomplete polishing for several reasons. The laser engraving delivers to you a shimmering piece of jewellery that is thoroughly clean and worked on without a lot of manual labor.
- Time-saving: Time is a precious asset to everyone, and over time, more and more technology is helping to make the process of work a lot more time-saving than most others. Laser engraving technology offers you a standard result in a short time.
With the old system, engravings on jewellery required several levels or stages of operation before it eventually emerges as a finished, wearable product. The more complex the design, the more time it needs with this system. However, with laser technology, what would typically take days or weeks, will only require seconds before it’s all done and perfect.
Another thing about this system of engraving is how handy it is to operate. The Operating system of the laser technology is designed to be easily understood by anyone. It's a marvel that after many years, we now have an advanced and practical technology that's readily accessible.
- Cheap and Eco-Friendly: The laser technology in all its glory doesn’t have to make use of any form of damaging substance or chemical. It is entirely environmentally sensitive, unlike most other types of engraving that use a lot of harmful substances to work.
It is a complete system with no additional elements or external side tools to work or give the desired results. This makes using it a lot cheaper than the other processes, because it doesn’t require different parts or tool buying that can incur extra cost. It’s a long-term investment that is sure to give you memorable returns.
