Surface preparation is important in many industries, from metal restoration to woodworking. Traditional methods like sanding and sandblasting have been widely used for removing rust, paint, and surface imperfections. However, these methods often involve abrasive materials, dust, and consumable costs. The name “laser sanding” comes from its similar purpose to traditional sanding. Laser…

Plastic is naturally flexible and lightweight. Because of its unique properties, it is widely used in our everyday applications. However, marking plastic is different from marking other materials, such as metal. It is difficult to engrave plastics, and it is not an efficient solution. For this reason, plastic products are marked by different methods. In…

Stainless steel generally has high toughness, low thermal conductivity, and a strong tendency to work-harden. These three properties make it challenging to cut. Besides, they cause extreme heat to build and rapid tool wear. That’s where we need specific machining strategies depending on the alloy. In this case, laser-cut stainless steel is one of the…
