What is a 3D laser cut?
The three -dimensional (3D) laser cut is as a regular laser cut, with the exception of the laser it is able to recognize all sides of the substrate and not only the face of the substrate. Unlike two -dimensional (2D) laser cutting, a 3D laser cut is normally able to work with a cube or other shape of a large substrate and not only a flat piece of material. The substrate itself can be many different types of materials such as glass, crystal, metal and wood. Other cutting methods can only cut into the material surface, but the laser can be adjusted to reduce the interior of the material that is most often used with the crystal. With a 2D laser cutter, the machine is able to cut only and recognize the face of the material. The 3D method allows the cutter to go through and specifically cut and shape the substrate as needed by a recorded design that allows the machine to create much more complex shapes and projects.
two -dimensional laser cutters can normally cutA flat piece of material, but a 3D laser cut can be made for a thick piece of material such as a cube or ball. As well as the ability to recognize all sides of the substrate, this allows the machine to perform much more complex cuts compared to the 2D machine. At the same time, there are some cheaper 3D laser cutters that lack this ability.
Many different materials can be used with a 3D laser cut machine and each material has a different purpose. Wood can be created for pieces for furniture or decorative elements, glass and crystal can be created into shapes and metal can be created into parts or plates with perimeters (PCB). This can also be done by 2D laser cutters, as lasers tend to be versatile cutters.
The unique aspect of a 3D laser section is the ability to exceed the surface of the substrate. This allows the cutter to cut under the surface without leaving any scratches on the surface of the material. This is usually made in crystal and glass and 3D image is engraved in the center of the material. ToWood can also be used; Sometimes it is done and then the wood is divided to reveal the internal design, but it is not as common as Crystal.
