Mondo Technology Updated on 2024-03-07

In today's society, the rapid development of science and technology has not only promoted innovation in various industries, but also made the types and uses of glass more diverse than ever. The innovation of manufacturing technology has made glass no longer limited to traditional uses, but has been revitalized in many fields such as art, architecture, and home furnishings. Among them, 3D laser engraving glass technology, as a revolutionary change in the deep processing of process glass, is gradually entering people's field of vision, bringing unprecedented innovation to the glass industry.

3D laser engraving glass technology is a technology that uses high-precision laser equipment to carry out three-dimensional engraving inside the glass. By controlling the path and intensity of the laser beam by a computer, complex three-dimensional images and patterns can be formed inside the glass. This technology can not only create delicate textures and colors on the surface of the glass, but also present a three-dimensional sense and layering inside the glass, making the glass products more artistic and unique.

Laser engraving glass, or engraving glass, is a product of this technology. They not only have the luster and transparency of traditional glass, but also contain rich artistic elements and cultural connotations inside. Whether it is used as architectural decoration, home furnishings or works of art, laser engraving glass can show its unique charm and value.

In the field of architecture, laser engraving glass can be used in curtain walls, partitions, doors and windows and other places to add a sense of fashion and technology to the building. In the field of home furnishing, laser carved glass can be used as a material for decorations, coffee tables, lamps and other furniture, bringing a unique artistic atmosphere to the home space. In the field of art, laser engraving glass has become a new medium for artists to express their creativity and emotions, bringing more possibilities and inspiration to artistic creation.

The formation principle of laser engraving glass mainly relies on the high energy density and precise control of the laser. When laser engraving glass, its energy density must exceed the threshold that causes the glass to break, the so-called threshold. The energy density of a laser at a certain point is closely related to the spot size at that point. The smaller the light spot, the greater the energy density generated.

With precise focusing, the energy density of the laser can remain below the glass failure threshold before entering the glass and reaching the processing area, and exceeding this critical value in the area where it needs to be processed. The laser produces pulses in a very short period of time, and its energy is able to heat and crack the glass in an instant, creating tiny white spots inside the glass. These white dots are arranged in a predetermined shape to form the final pattern of the laser-engraved glass. While the rest of the glass or crystal remains intact and intact.

This technology is not only suitable for flat glass, but can also be widely used in a variety of glassware and glassware industry products, bringing revolutionary innovation and diverse application possibilities to the glass industry.

We have been focusing on the R&D and production of laser engraving equipment for nearly 13 years, and have developed a full range of engraving machines, which are used in more than 30 industries, and special formats can be customized according to customer requirements! Our laser engraving machine can engrave text inside transparent materials such as glass, crystal, acrylic, PC, PET, PS, PVC, etc., **signatures and other arbitrary patterns!

Energy saving: The laser power used in the processing of laser engraving glass is usually between 2 and 5 watts. This means that the laser consumes only 2-5 kWh of electricity for a thousand hours of operation. Even with the energy consumption of the transmission components, the power consumption per hour is only one kilowatt-hour. This is in stark contrast to traditional sandblasting engraving and screen printing processes, which often require a dozen to thirty or forty kilowatts of electricity, and reflects the significant energy-saving advantages of laser engraving glass.

Eco-friendliness: The processing process of laser engraving glass takes place entirely inside the glass, without the use of any external materials. As a result, it produces no dust, volatiles, emissions or consumables, thus completely avoiding contamination of the external environment. This has significant advantages over traditional sandblast engraving, screen printing and pickling processes. At the same time, the laser engraving process has also greatly improved the working environment of workers.

High degree of automationThe production process of laser engraving glass can be completely controlled by a computer, from the placement of the processed object to the entire production process, without human intervention. This greatly improves the degree of automation of production and significantly reduces the labor intensity of workers. As a result, the production of laser engraving glass is easier to standardize, digitize, and network, while also supporting remote monitoring and operation, further reducing overall costs.

Aesthetics and practicality combined: Laser engraving glass can be combined with LED lighting to make the product image actively glow, presenting a beautiful effect. This technology not only has the function of advertising decoration, but can also be used as a lighting device, achieving a perfect combination of aesthetics and practicality.
