Laser Engravers

 

Any other laser engravers find this forum yet?   If I found it, I know others must be lurking around!

 
 

  • I'm not one of the laser guy's, funny to say I'm a hand engraver, just wanted to tell you that I did see some engravers hanging around here and I'm sure they will come sooner or later, the site is only two day's old so give it a chance and stop back in!

    • Yep, there are many laser engravers around including myself. Hopefully others will drop by as well.

       

      • I also am not a laser engraver but we have been around the engraving business for over 25 years and engrave almost anything. We specialize in crystal and glass.

         

        By the way Alfred, you have too much time on your hands. 495 points!!!

        • Yeah, I made it over here too.  Have 3 machines, been engraving 13 years now.

            •  Don't have much to say Marc?  Or does the parrot have your tongue?

               

              • Marc - I see  you tried to post again.   Still shows up as blank.   I saw in another thread that someone else was having the same problem and contacted one of the the folks for this website that fixed the issue for them.

                • OK, I switched to Plain Text and it's finally solved, I think. Thanks for the welcome! I'm new to Corel, new to laser engraving (Epilog mini 35), but familiar with graphics, mostly Adobe. I'm interested in all the cool Corel features and will have many questions. I like the interface--seems more intuitive than Illustrator. marc
                  •  There you are!   Lets compare notes and power settings since we both have the same machines.

                     

                    • great! I'm not trying to make money yet, but having a lot of fun. I've got a good Corel question: There's apparently a feature of X3 that will take a letterform and create a grayscale 'ramp' around the inside edges. The idea, I'm told, is to enable a laser to cut a simulated bevel. Have any of you tried it? I'd like to use it on more than just letterforms. .
                  •  I am a laser engraving "wannabe"...our company upgraded to a YAG and now I am supposed to learn to do creative things on the CO2 so it just doesn't gather dust.  (Although the YAG spend a lot of time down for repairs).  Right now I feel like I take one step forward and ten steps back on the learning curve.  Right now I am cruising around the site trying to find an answer to my latest obstacle----thought for sure today was the day I was going to actually MAKE something.

                    It's nice to see there are laser engravers out there---obviously it CAN be done!
