Laser Engraving Denim | Laser Engraving Jeans | Trotec Laser

- This week, we're laser engraving denim jeans on our Speedy 400 laser engraver. We've placed different colours of jeans into the laser and proceeded to engrave various designs and patterns.
We found that black sturdy jeans had the most contrast, while the darker the blue jeans gave the brightest engraving result. We recommend testing lower power engraving first to be sure that the laser engraving doesn't rip the material.
We also advise to use the largest possible lens for your Trotec laser - we've used the 4" lens for this project. The larger lens helps keep the engraving in focus among any grooves or displacement in the material.

Oh God laser engraving machine 😲😀I want that machine 😢 I have thousands of ideas,my brain never stop 🤯
Fernando Besterei you should order a Trotec then! :)
I have one and it's only as good as you are with coreldraw, Adobe illustrator, or your program of choice I have a huge learning curve.
Jose Ramos how much does it cost?
Great video for inspiration! I had forgotten about laser etching denim! I remember seeing a Levi's flagship store or similar in London back in about 2002 that offered customisation like that in store. I think you might have also been able to add other panels of fabric at the time. They must have been trail blazing (no laser burning pun intended) back then when laser weren't as commonly accessible.
Now I want to try it on other dark fabrics, maybe we can make custom trousers for our student robotics team :-)
Nathan Beveridge Thanks Nathan for the kind words! We did see engraved denim at Levis stores here as well. The darker the denim the better!
I've been running some tests on my Trotec Speedy 400, with the 4.0" lens and a variety of settings, mostly ranging the power from 55 - 80, and seeing what happens. So far the color of the denim has dictated the color of the etching; light color = light etching, dark color = dark etching. But I'm sure different dyes and types of denim material can change the etching finish.
So far, I've unfortunately noticed that the etching compromises the durability of the denim/fabric. If you put enough pressure on the etched area the fabric will start to tear and rip. If anyone knows a solution to this please share your findings. I'll keep experimenting with different settings and see what happens.
Awesome work! How is the engraving so bright? Can it also be done with dark (black) engraving?
Thanks! Well it depends on the materials. Black engraving is hard to do, if it's very thick denim you can put it out of focus and burn it more, you risk going through the material though.
what is the fastest engrave time mms that you can engrave 600 DPI photos on wood?
Hi Roland, that all depends on the size of the wood and the amount of engraving. For example small text vs. full photo. Our Speedy 400 is currently one of the fastest laser engraver on the market.
8year experience in this field...Any job ur company
Hi! is it cool to send you my design then send it to me? I always wanna have a Leather Patch so I can attach it to my Jean Jacket.
Hi Jim, for sure, please email us at youtube@troteclaser.ca thanks!
@@TrotecLaserCanada Thank you so much!!!
Hi there, I have Trotec 300 in fablab and they recommend not using the 100 speed. It was recommended to go max 90 speed by trotec technician. Is that right? Why so? Thanks.
Hello can you suggest me someone or a factory to do custom engraved jeans?
Thanks for the video, what's the engraving like after the jeans go through the washing machine? Is there any after care needed?
Great question, if they are thick and sturdy jeans it wouldn't be a problem and the engraving shouldn't wash out as the laser permanently burns the fabric.
I would say, if you're engraving new jeans to wash them a couple times first as you usually would, otherwise the ink will run when it gets wet and the contrast will be lessened.
This is a great video! Very inspirational for someone like myself looking to monetize the use of my laser
Your background music is phenomenal
can I engrave on denim with my Fiber 20Watt trotec promarker
🤩
ooooh, can't wait to see that one! :D
FrNchi33 thanks! You’re going to love it! :)
Do anyone have this in Delhi India?
Maybe iron on a flat piece of wood and put it in there with wood under it?
Are you using authorised music?
What is the laser power used in the machine?
Would you wash the garment before sending it to a costumer due to the shade of the denim being changed after the first wash after being lasered?
Hi Daniel, yes we would imagine so, or at least wipe down the residue.
That's cool!
How did the lazer react whilst going over the denim jacket's metal buttons? Cheers
Hi there, well because we used our CO2 laser it went over the metal parts without actually engraving them.
@@TrotecLaserCanada ok thank you. Interesting...
Do you guys do custom work?
Hi Alex, no unfortunately not but we can refer you to one of our customers that will do custom work.
@@TrotecLaserCanada please do
Trotec Canada me as well
What happends when you rub the laser engraved pattern with your finger or scratch with youtr nail ?? it will destroy it. The engravainging touches onlt the surface , below the surface its blue. Seen a lot of videos , but not where they after engraving rubs the surface.
Because it does not work
I am sitting next to my laser cutter, holding a piece of etched denim and I can tell you that this is simply not true
@@Jacobfromnothing999 can you tell me what aettings and laser you have uaed ? Can post a video on that ?
