Nice photographic manipulation there. I noticed how differently the materials looked to get the desired outcome. I don't think I'll be replacing my 40 watt anytime soon.

Looking through the documentation, I think the point is more that the higher-powered lasers are more suited to cutting applications rather than engraving, whereas the lower-power infrared laser is more suitable for precise engraving applications, especially when melting is a concern. I do agree some of the examples look a bit sketchy though, particularly on Brass where it looks like the base material is finished differently, even aside from the engraving.

What is the purpose of showing the clear glass example? Is it to show that it does not work on clear glass? Also why does the glass on the blue laser appear to be frosted and the IR laser is crystal clear? I am not sure the intent.

Confused about the transparent glass at the end. I have already ordered this just waiting on it to be ready in August.

Hi! When the lasers irradiate the transparent glass surface, it cannot effectively focus at the focus, and the glass surface cannot absorb enough laser energy. A small suggestion here, a layer of dark opaque paint or metal film can be sprayed on the surface of the transparent glass for engraving. After engraving, the paint or metal film can be removed.

It’s a little weird of you having a video in essence crapping on two of your other products.

Thanks. Then, could you do same video with glass painted in white?

[@Snapmaker]

Thanks for your suggestion! Stay tuned!

Transparent glass… to be or not to be?
