3D Laser Engraving Wood

Happy New Year! Starting off the new year with 3D laser engraving wood. We bring these 3D wood samples with us to every tradeshow! Here is how we make them on our 150w CO2 Laser. Subscribe to stay up to date with all things Kern Lasers. #kernlasers #laserengraving #woodengraving

The level of detail here is incredible. What an awesome (additional) thing for me to dream of!

[@Kernlasersystems]

Yes the video is real-time speed. To get the engraving depth you are limited by the lase wattage well before you are limited by speed of the machine. So, if you use a larger laser (500W, 650W) you could increase your speed and maintain the same engraving depth.

Good job

[@FelipedeJesus]

¡El nivel de detalle es fabuloso!

[@fernandodazan6633]

Wow !!!

[@FamazLasy]

Wow, the laser engraving on wood is mind-blowing! 😍 How did you achieve such precision? Cheers from Singapore!

[@Kernlasersystems]

Thank you! Kern's KCAM software along with our laser power control allows us to achieve great detail when engraving!

Здравствуйте! подскажите как правильно создать УП. Если можно подробное видео как создавать 3D на СО2.

[@RosannaClayton]

I would love to get good at designing my own file for 3D engravings.

Hi! Greetings from Mexico City

[@Kernlasersystems]

Hello!

[@storytellerHD]

Thanks for the demo. I have two Epilog Fusions and pondering adding a Kern to the shop. 3D is a lot of fun and rewarding. Are .stl files used in your workstream? We used to use water for cleaning wood but warping was high risk. Surprised you recommend this post processing method. Also, doesn’t Kern have auto focus? What lens are you using for the demo? Kern or 3rd party? Thanks!

[@Kernlasersystems]

Hello! Any file type that you can get into CorelDRAW or Illustrator will work great for 3D. We use our post processor to export into our software as a .PDF file. Water works, but you need to use a minimal amount, otherwise you will get warping. There are other ways to clean them out that do not include water. Kern does have auto-focus. For engraving we generally use a 2.5" FL lens in our own lens assembly. I hope this answer your questions!

[@phucsangnguyenhoang7754]

Hello. I am Vietnamese! i really like your bipmap grayscale conversion, can you share so i can learn more? in my country few people share because they all want to hide and very few people know about this programming, I hope you share with me, learning from you I feel very happy, thank you

[@Kernlasersystems]

Hello, we buy the artwork from www.gantryco.com. I hope this helps!

[@okayokay2010]

I like it, what is the best software will work with the kern laser? Please Thanks

[@Kernlasersystems]

CorelDRAW is a great graphics design software, but you can use anything that will export a PDF or DXF file.

[@TheAndyroo770]

Can you do this in metal and make a 2 part mould for injection moulding?

[@Kernlasersystems]

This process does not work for metals. It works great for softer materials like foam, wood and some platics.

[@demmickjones9503]

What file type does the grayscale image need to be when i send it to corell draw?

[@Kernlasersystems]

CorelDraw accepts almost any file type to be processed in their software. The most common ones would be .pdf, .dxf, .jpeg, .ai, .bmp, etc. If you wanted to upload the file directly into KCAM, then a pdf would be best!

[@roughneckghost]

I have a 150 watt machine for nearly 2 years now, and you can explain me how in the effin F , are you working on 80% without producing any smoke AT ALL, do please explain me this magic trick, what sort of wood is that ?

[@Kernlasersystems]

I think the video doesn't show the smoke very well. There is a little bit but our top vacuum picks that up. The wood used is locally sourced 3/8" maple. It does seem to laser very clean.

[@nopriors]

Can you share where you get your gray scale images. Thanks, Greg

[@philbromley4565]

Any bitmap image can be used just convert to greyscale...

[@nopriors]

@@philbromley4565 Thanks

[@nopriors]

Can you share where the image was obtained used in the example?

[@Kernlasersystems]

@@nopriors Hi Greg, we got a couple of the files shown in the video from www.gantryco.com/

[@nopriors]

@@Kernlasersystems Thank you very much! That is exactly what I have been looking for. Your machines are amazing. I hope to step up to one of your small units one day. It is so great to see them made in the US. Hope you guys are staying warm!

[@angelaleann5054]

what kind of wood did you use for this?

[@Kernlasersystems]

We use maple wood.

[@user-zf9cc9fe2c]

how can i like adjtst tht laser nozel like you do with acrylic

[@Kernlasersystems]

If you mean using a wider nozzle, it is simply just purchasing this part.

[@Spyderman500]

Can you use Light Burn software with your machine?

[@Kernlasersystems]

Yes, we have tested Light Burn and the .DXF export feature will load the file directly into our KCAM software!

[@Kernlasersystems]

We have also found that the PDF print feature also works.

[@theantichrist4267]

Was that laser printing , done in real-time speed ???

[@Kernlasersystems]

Yes, the clips shown in this video are being shown in real-time.

[@ZackCrain]

I have some amazing ideas but that laser cutter is probably very very expensive

[@skyview6994]

They have one for every budget, check the K40`s? I started there....

[@tomebling7354]

Can I buy the KCAM software program and will it work with my Xtool p2 laser engraver?

[@Kernlasersystems]

KCAM is only compatible with Kern's laser machines.

[@StampingToolDesign]

I am living in Germany and how can I buy this machine? what is procedure?

[@Kernlasersystems]

Hello, please contact us at [e-mail] and we can put you in touch with a local partner.

[@MrShamrock56]

Could you do thiscwith a 50 w machine?

[@Kernlasersystems]

Sorry for the late reply. If you have the right software and system, you would be able to do this with a low-wattage laser tube 30w to 50w would work fine, but you would have to go really slow to produce the depth. our lowest wattage is 100w (traveling about 10 to 15 inches per second, at 80% power.)

[@3417814]

Olá, gostaria de adquirir

[@MichaelAllwin]

how do we buy this machine in India?

[@Kernlasersystems]

If you fill out this request a quote form, kernlasers.com/request-a-quote/ a salesman will reach out and be happy to help you! Thank you!

[@phucsangnguyenhoang7754]

Oh no! why when I use BMP image file to sculpt with Laser, the text is almost flat on the top and almost flat on the bottom, almost like it's just like a cnc milling cutter, I'm using a 1310 Co2 laser of Baisheng China, I Bought in Vietnam through one of their agents, it's not like the ones in the West. Wish your model will have agents in Vietnam as well as Southeast Asia

[@Kernlasersystems]

We do have some distributors in Asia. Here Is a link to a map of all our distributors across the world. kernlasers.com/where-to-buy/
