Do you know “laser engraver”? It is a machine that can engrave letters and pictures on wooden, leather, acrylic boards and glass with the power of laser. It used to be a very expensive machine used by metalworkers and plastic sawmills to cut out materials. However, laser engraving machines with specifications that can do small engraving on small materials are relatively inexpensive. Depending on how you use it, you can engrave logos on ready-made products, or engrave one-point marks on small accessories, expanding the expressive power of DIY.
We will introduce the best laser engraver for beginners, Lets you buy the best laser engraving machine at a cheap price.

Laser Engraving Machine Guide For Beginner
How does laser engraving work?
As the name implies, a laser engraving machine is a machine that engraves the irradiated part with heat. Materials such as wood and cloth are sculpted by irradiating a laser and scraping off the material little by little. If you have an inkjet printer in your home, it is easy to get an image, but the inkjet printer applies ink one line at a time while the head moves left and right. The laser engraving machine also engraves characters and pictures by moving the laser head while shaving the part to be engraved at a time.
The type of laser
There are three types of lasers emitted by laser engraving machines.
1.CO2 laser
Widely used in general laser engraving machines currently released. The CO2 laser uses carbon dioxide as a laser catalyst. By mixing multiple gases with the carbon dioxide in the laser transmission tube, energy is generated and the laser is emitted. Because of its good energy efficiency (fuel efficiency), it is used in desktop laser engraving machines and medium-sized laser engraving machines.
Since engraving is performed with thermal energy, materials other than metal can be engraved constantly.
2. Fiber laser
This is a method that uses solids (such as artificial crystals such as ruby and glass) for the laser catalyst, and boasts about 100 times the output of a CO2 laser. Because of the high accuracy of the laser, it can be engraved on metal, and engraving with higher definition than CO2 laser can be done.
3.YAG laser / YVO laser
This is almost the same output as a fiber laser, but can emit a laser with higher accuracy than a fiber laser. However, the parts are expensive and are often found in commercial laser engraving machines.
Because it can be micro-processed, it is often used for processing industrial products such as automotive parts and medical equipment.
Laser irradiation method
There are currently two types of laser irradiation methods for laser engraving machines.
1. Flat head type
The engraving is performed by moving the laser irradiation head on the plate-shaped processing surface. As mentioned earlier, the material is irradiated with a laser in a manner similar to a home inkjet printer. If you know the inkjet printer, please imagine it. The movement is almost the same.
2. Galvano type
The flat head type irradiates the laser by moving the head, while the galvano type changes the laser irradiation position and engraves by changing the angle of the mirror. For example, As a child, you may have played with the mirror in your hand reflecting the sun’s light and shining light on the walls of your house. Unlike the flat head type, there is no need to move the head, so engraving can be performed at high speed.
