My machine fiber laser 100Watt I want to engrave on High speed steel HSS 2,5D ( Deep engraving of metal and optimal) Do you have any formula for engraving this material?? Speed ?? Power ?? KHZ??? Thank Pro

As you say, a simple approach that works really well. Thanks for sharing. I’ve been looking for ways to create reliefs from 3d models but the choices seem to be either wrestling with Blender depth maps or paying out for a tool like zbrush which I wouldn’t use for anything else. This approach looks really good.
Thanks for the video, I'm new in laser and I'm starting thanks to job like this. Sorry if the questions may be stupid. 1. POWER PERCENTAGE.__Why you use 50% power? Could you do 100% with fastest result, like at feed 4000 with same result? would 100% be too much for 0.08? 2. NO-MOPA LASER._______Is it possible to perform 3D task with a no-MOPA laser? like a normal fiber laser 50W? 3. FOCUS._________________If the focus is perfect on the initial surface, it become much more out of focus at any lap? How can you maintain the laser on the focus during the task? Thanks in advance for your reply
No question is a stupid question unless its unasked :) 1. Power - the more power the more aggressive, yes you could speed up with more power but the resolution wouldnt be as fine, in other words SIMPLE shapes Yes do this but intricate and 3d shapes slow down with less power 2. its all in the software, the software takes a grayscale 3d image and slices into the number of passes. the more passes you have the deeper it would be. the non-MOPA issues are mainly around frequency and the ability to colour materials. (you should be fine) 3. Focus, I listen to my laser and if I feel its going out of focus I will adjust but most of the time its ok hope that helps and sorry for the delay, im doing house renovations :)
What speed and power are you running it at? Also, have you worked out your focal length? I've got the same module and found my focal length to be around 16mm from the base of the module housing. I generally cut 3mm ply at 7mm/s x 2 passes. It pretty well makes it through on the first pass but annoyingly has some strands that don't cut through fully.
@@unstableculture so...it works GREAT! as an air assist and very well as a laser shield. My only issue was I printed the version with two air inlets (I have a 150psi compressor, dialed down to 30psi...no shortage of air!)...and the left side air inlet contacts the bolt holding one of the lower rollers on my 2s Max frame, lol. Soooo it couldn't contact the limit switches and just kept trying to home. I cut it off and it works well, but I'm going to print the version with no air inlet on that side lol. Thanks again for your share...it's much appreciated.
@@CrisAnderson27 at yeah I don’t have the max so didn’t have this issue. Air compressor would be great as you can increase the pressure to account for the two air intakes my little aquarium pump can’t and I feel I would of had better results with a compressor If you need me to tweak the design post some photos in thingiverse and I will try and fix it
@@unstableculture I'm uploading a short, unlisted video showing the contact point, and a few other ideas you might like. I'll share it here once it's up. Thanks again!!
It’s pretty snug as it prints but I did make a thin rubber seal on my resin printer(flex resin) but with the air pressure from the aquarium pump is pretty strong
haha thats actually funny, I was looking at this exact page when i purchased it and it said the A40640 was 15w Optical Output with 80w module input. Which is clearly not right anyway.. it says it has dual 7.5w diodes making it 15w but your right it most likely is a 10w.. I dont really care if it gets the job done.. this link shows as 80w and 15w optical but might change next week lol www.aliexpress.com/item/4001287562336.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.121e650eVF8C9w&algo_pvid=40a9acbf-8e81-4484-abd5-4647e32caee5&aem_p4p_detail=202201131628064727865600818080010390691&algo_exp_id=40a9acbf-8e81-4484-abd5-4647e32caee5-2&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000018601913501%22%7D&pdp_pi=-1%3B109.67%3B-1%3B-1%40salePrice%3BAUD%3Bsearch-mainSearch
It is two 7.5W diodes according to the manufacturer that is supposed to have an optical output of 14-15W but your right it most likely is more like 10w but I dont really care, i was just writting what is advertised and even if its 10W thats still pretty awesome for a Diode laser and that it can cut cleanly with one pass is great. Thanks for the comment :)
It’s to blow air through so it doesn’t hover around the beam as the first air is blowing it directly down. But to be honest I’m happier with a single nozzle and I think this is because my little aquarium pump can’t handle the two. When I change to a compressor I will go back to this design
Mate it’s slow lol the engraving was a bit too much power at 40mm/s 30% power could of made that faster or less power and the cut was 100% 3 passes. People say I can’t run 100% but it didn’t get that hot and I checked with Neje and they said it’s fine to run at 100% 3mm/s for cutting providing it’s not hours at that setting I’m just testing its limits all I cared about was cutting 3mm ply which is does like butter :)
