ABS
ABS melts upon exposure to a laser beam as opposed to vaporizing
which would
be the ideal reaction needed for laser engraving.
Instead of leaving a crisp image, ABS will melt and leave a gooey
deposit on the surface.
HDPE HDPE melts and catches on fire pretty easily upon exposure to a
laser beam.
Polystyrene
Foam
Only very thin pieces can be laser cut but for the most part,
polystyrene catches
on fire and melts when exposed to a laser beam
Fiberglass
Fiberglass is made from two materials; glass and epoxy resin.
The best method of marking glass is etching while epoxy resin
can emit toxic fumes upon laser engraving. These two reasons
make fiberglass a bad choice for a laser engraving material
Polypropylene
polypropylene melts and catches on fire easily and then the
melted material con- tinues to burn thereby forming pebble-like
drips that harden on the surface
Coated Carbon
Fiber
Coated carbon fiber emits noxious fumes. Additionally, carbon fiber
can be cut
albeit with some fraying but this is not the case when it is coated.
10) The RAY5 has built in technology and algorithms to
keep its users and the surrounding environment safe. This
said its important to understand the RAY5 is not a toy and should
be operated with care and respect.
