Fiber Marking CLEAR Acrylic

I failed to mark clear acrylic the first time, but here's a short video of a second attempt with a different method. I didn't attempt to play with the settings much, just wanted to see if this actually works.

Thank you for your videos, before marking when you press for the red outline to appear, it seems like its not a perfect square like other chinese fiber laser machines I've seen, is there a way to make the outline border more clear? This helps a lot with positioning if I want the writing to be parallel with the borders of the piece.

Can you cut out plastic or pvc with fiber laser?

[@lorendenison1423]

Not sure where you focused the laser but it needs to be focused for the stainless not the top of the acrylic

[@michaelburke5750]

What are the specs for the fiber laser you're using?

[@makerspace533]

Are you sure it is not simply the heat generated from marking the steel melting the acrylic, not the reflection of the beam?

[@PhucNguyen-mu4oe]

Thanks for sharing

[@charlesf30]

What about using cermark?

[@AKREOZ]

Do you know the parameter to cut this type of acrylic?

[@cnccarving]

the wavelenght of laser is what makes laser going trough on the clear acrylic

[@enlightenement]

I have seen a video where it works really good on glass

[@jefferyj]

Interesting! I haven't tried it yet.

[@jeffduncan7685]

What is happening is the laser is inscribing the metal and the vaporizing metal, and the metal that is vaporized is being deposited on the glass that is being heated/melted.

Hi I can engrave images on acrylic by fiber laser

[@thalesengraving7915]

a method other than what he describes?

ua-cam.com/video/WxmIXMmsorc/v-deo.html hi,dear friend,we have fiber marking machine,please add my whatsapp:[phone], i will give you a beautiful quotation and machine's detail information

[@jeffduncan7685]

Using a mirror would not work as it would reflect the beam, hence they use mirrors to bounce the excited light/energy to increase/amplify the power. Each time the beam bounces back through the beam it increases the strength.

[@chronokoks]

its not reflected.. its the heat comming out of steel that scorches the acrylic

Need to go slower. Slow your speed down to 300 or so

[@witchking453]

Terrible i think

If you want to mark Acrylic, You have to use Co2 or UV tech
