Recommended Materials for Plate Engraving
재료 | 레이저 유형 | 메모 |
---|---|---|
스테인레스 스틸 | 섬유 | Deep contrast, especially at 1064nm |
양극산화 알루미늄 | 섬유 또는 UV | Color options with MOPA; good for ID tags |
Coated Brass/Steel | UV preferred | No charring, retains clean edges |
아크릴 & 플라스틱 | 자외선 | Crisp details without melting |
Wood Plaques | UV or CO₂ | Optional paint fill after engraving |

단계별: How to Laser Engrave Plates
1. Prep Your Plate
Clean with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils, 먼지, or protective films. Use masking tape if needed to reduce residue (especially on plastics).
2. Load Your Design in Software
Whether you’re using 라이트번 또는 EZCAD2, import your vector file (SVG, DXF) or bitmap (JPG, PNG) and scale it to fit your plate size.
3. Set Your Parameters
Sample Settings for Fiber Laser (B6):
- 재료: 스테인레스 스틸
- 속도: 800 밀리미터/초
- 힘: 40%
- 빈도: 30 kHz
- 패스: 1–3
- Hatch: 0.03 mm at 0°/90° crosshatch
Sample Settings for UV Laser (옴니 1):
- 재료: Acrylic plate
- 속도: 1200 밀리미터/초
- 힘: 30%
- 빈도: 40 kHz
- 라인 간격: 0.02 mm
💡 팁: Always do a small test engrave in the corner first.
4. Focus and Frame
가능한 경우 자동 초점을 사용하십시오. Frame the job area to ensure proper alignment and avoid clipping the design off the edge.
5. Run Your Engrave
Monitor the first pass. If engraving depth or contrast isn’t sufficient, increase the number of passes or adjust the frequency.
6. Clean and Inspect
Use a soft brush or microfiber cloth to wipe off debris. For metal plates, a dab of polishing compound can enhance shine.

Common Troubleshooting Tips
문제 | 원인 | Fix |
---|---|---|
Faint engraving | Low power or too-fast speed | Lower speed or increase power |
Burned edges (플라스틱) | Too much heat | Switch to UV laser or lower settings |
Misalignment | Plate not fixed or beam not centered | Use clamps or run “frame” preview |
Inconsistent depth | Uneven focus | Check autofocus or use focus gauge |
Best Practices for Long-Term Results
- Batch your jobs: Use a jig or fixture for engraving multiple plates at once.
- Record your settings: Save presets in LightBurn/EZCAD2 for repeat jobs.
- Rotate designs: For multi-directional plates, engrave from different angles for deeper texture.
- Protect your lens: Use air assist or a fan to blow away debris during metal engraving.
