I'm in AZ. I run a small machine shop and started anodizing for the customers now I'm being asked to etch as well. Was going to do acid etch then I ran across this. Only problem is I am computer illiterate. How is it for old guy like me to learn? Would love to learn more or maybe check one out in person.
@@derekwaszkiewicz8338 - learning our machines is the easy part, but you would need to brush up on your graphic software skills. This is where many of our customer shine. The better you know a graphic software the easier it is to produce uniquely decorated products.
We use four zings in our company.. and they are relaly amazing lasers and honestly some of the most intuitive lasers i have worked with. Fast, reliable and if you have the rotary and the vecor cutting grid, you are set for a loooot of things. Perosnally.. if i had the money, i definitively would get one for myself for my own projects.
Great Demo....when you centered the wood phone case...you had it all lined up.....then moved it to get your focus....you where lucky that you repositioned it close enough
I have a super cheap $200.00 diode laser that does a nice job on wood and leather goods (ie.Wood boxes, wallets, etc). I advertise my products ($30.00) on popular online forums but they never sell well. How do people even get their money back on machines like an Epilog that sell for thousands?
Yea, it seems the people that don't know about laser cutting wont seek our it's products. And the people that do will just buy their own and learn to use it in a weekend.
I think you have to really play to people’s desires. Don’t sell the “laser” as the hook, make sure the item Itself is dope no matter how it was made. Whatever you laser on the wallet or box should be something people get psyched about. For example, people sell maps of middle earth lasered on leather, and I think they do alright because it’s so interesting and iconic. I also think if you swing it, local business is better. On Etsy or other services you’re competing with the whole country. In your hometown, you may be the only laser engraver around. Do some custom cutting boards or offer some businesses In your area lasered coasters for trade shows, and such and such. A lot of people don’t know about laser engraving so being unique in your own social sphere might benefit you more then in the art sphere where every person with a laser is trying to do the same as you.
slayerpianoman thanks! I’ll try again, but I’m in Long Island, New York. I bet a lot of people here all know about laser so I still think it won’t help.
Cool demo but I hate company websites like Epilog Laser that can't just be straight forward and tell you how much their products are. What do they have to hide, are they over priced or something? Instead you have to give them your name, address, email, and phone number up front before any pricing is given so that their sales department can keep harassing people to purchase whether ready to buy or not. I did a search on eBay and there is all kinds of these laser engravers from small desktop to massive free standing units from various manufacturers with upfront pricing without having to give out any personal info for those people who might not want a salesperson to show up at their front door but are curious as to what these machines should run.
I had no problem giving my info for their brochure & price list. They never hassled me or anything. I hassle them asking dumb questions and they have no problem answering...
You don't have to give us your information to receive pricing information. We have a range of US pricing on the website, but if you are looking for accurate pricing and an official quote we ask that you get in touch with your local distributor by phone or email works well. The cost of our various laser machines is determined by speed (stepper vs. servo motors), engraving table size, and laser wattage (ranging from 30 watts to 120 watts) and range from $7,995 to around $66,500 (US price only). On our website if you do provide your information to us we offer a few amazingly detailed samples, which we mail to you and is the reason we ask for your address, that show off the high-quality engraving you can achieve with our machines. The Aztec calendar in wood and the photo engraved anodized cards have so much detail in the samples - they really are amazing to see in person!
Hi, can you tell me if you have a timber object similar to the shape of an aeroplane wing, this is flat on the bottom with a curve on the top. So when you engrave the laser is not cutting on a flat plane, it will be at different distances as it travels over the curve. How will this effect the way it engraves, does it adjust itself for the different heights as it goes ?
Hello Benjamin: Can u let me know the price of this machine? Planning to have an engraving business, still with tons of questions, hope to have your help with it...
You're local distributor will be able to help you with training, parts replacement, warranty extension, and material processing advice. To locate your distributor visit www.epiloglaser.com/where-to-buy/worldwide-distributors.htm.
what is the life expectancy for these? I want to start an engraving business focusing mainly on glasses for the time being. After roughly how many glasses (or similarly sized projects) are your products expected to need servicing or "last"
Hi, glass is a great product to engrave with a laser machine. Our laser tubes will last from somewhere between 3-5 years depending on your application and hours of use. Glass produces very little smoke/debris during engraving, so the maintenance required to keep your system clean would be very little.
I'd like to know where you get your alder wood and the bamboo box. Having a hard time finding good wholesale suppliers for this stuff here in the USA. Thanks in advanced. Nice work guys.
+I McClellan - The alder sheets are from Colorado Heirloom in Loveland, CO and the bamboo boxes are from a company called InterDesign, Inc. out of Ohio.
The Zing 16 laser system with 30-watt laser tube, a 16" x 12" (406 x 305 mm) work area, and engraving resolution up to 1000 DPI starts at $7,995 in the United States.

Just how small of an item can you engrave? I'm needing to render from a high quality photo to something smaller than a dime or about 3/8th of an inch. It will be doing the same task over and over but from a different macro photo.
Hello! it looks amazing! what if i want to engrave on a curved surface? the laser will automatically measure the depth at time of engraving? as an example engraving a macbook, will i be able to do it? i am comparing your product with the new Glowforge. Thanks!!
+hugo camarillo - Yes, engraving a Macbook with any of our systems is a fairly easy application. An Epilog can laser etch at 72-1200 DPI and the anodized coating on the Macbooks is perfect for engraving at the higher resolutions. The resulting image at 600 or 1200 dpi on anodized looks amazing with more detail reproduced in the final laser etching. The laser beam will be in focus for approximately 1/8" above and below the focal distance so engraving on the slightly curved surface of the MacBook is not a problem. In addition, if you'd like to engraved drinking glasses or cylindrical shaped items most of our systems have a rotary attachment that is available as an add on.
Is it possible to connect them via LAN instead of USB? I'm interested in getting one, but it would be in a completely different room than my Computer (pretty much it would be in the workshop, and the computer in my office lol)
Great video,you almost have me sold on it. But i do have a question. Will this machine engrave stone, such as slat or flat flagstone. Thanks again for the video.
+Richard Gottshall Yes, you can engrave different types of stone with our CO2 laser systems. Here are some examples: www.epiloglaser.com/how-it-works/stone.htm
Hi there. I'm curious to know how much a machine like this can cost? And also can it be shipped worldwide? I'm from Mauritius. Could someone please help with some answers?
Yes, we have a line of fiber laser systems specifically for laser etching and engraving on metal surfaces. Learn more about our fiber metal marking lasers here -www.epiloglaser.com/laser-marking-metal/
+Nathan Garza Create a second layer in the CAD/Design file that is the outline of your parts. Cover the bed of your machine in cardboard, tape it into position so it doesn't shift, and 1st cut the outlines through the cardboard and remove the centers. This gives you a "fixture" to locate your multiple, odd shaped parts. 2nd, load the parts, refocus, and run the other layer of the file that includes your text or graphics.

I'm looking to get a Co2/carbon laser from epilog in the near future, i can't wait! one question i have is how durable is the equipment for long runs? for example if you have to engrave 200 pieces on metal, is that something you can do end to end or do you need to factor in a rest period for the machine between jobs?
Hi Alex - our CO2 metal tube laser systems are rated to last from 3-5 years depending on usage. We have many customers that run their lasers 5-7 days a week 8-10 hrs. a day without issue. If you are planning to run all 200 pieces in one session, then yes an Epilog laser system can handle those types of longer run time jobs. Is the engraving job a Cermark on metal application or some other coated metal application like anodized aluminum?
Benjamin Sieber sorry i forgot to mention this is in relation to fibre lasers not CO2 so the metal (aluminium) will be etched onto directly. for example a batch of serial numbers
With Epilog's laser engravers you can quickly and easily engrave and cut many different types of rubber. Epilog Laser systems make it easy to produce ink stamps, wood block stamps and embossing and debossing dye stamps, all with the same laser system through a few settings in our print driver. Here is a link to a page with a short explaination of the process of using Epilog's Stamp Mode, available with all of our systems, and a few other links with some examles of compelte rubber stamp and silicon engraving projects. www.epiloglaser.com/products/zing-laser/zing-stamp-engraving.htm www.epiloglaser.com/how-it-works/rubber.htm www.epiloglaser.com/resources/sample-club/engraved-silicon-mug.htm

I am trying to get detailed information as to how to engrave high quality photos of dogs, cats, etc on cherry wood. The final image will be around 2 x3. Thanks!
Our 30-watt laser tube will cut through 8 mm (0.31") pine and spruce in one pass, but if you're going to be using your system as a cutter a majority of the time a 50-60 watt will give you quite a bit more production power. You'll be able to run a 50 or 60-watt system more quickly and produce more of what you're making.
Vivo en California, San Francisco y quiero ordenar un nuevo lente y cambiar la manguera de aire de compresor, por favor de darme el link para hacer el pedido, muchas gracias.
Two part question - where or how do you get those, I assume, stock photos, flowers designs, Rockies, etc.? And, how do you get licensed for NFL, MLB, NCAA, etc designs? Thanks.
I'm fairly certain you can print using vector graphics. Vector graphics are different from photos from your phone in that they are images that are mathematically calculated to be able to scale to any size. If you want NFL, MLB, NCAA etc designs for personal use, just google "NFL png" or "MLB png" designs .png is a file format that uses vector graphics. Hope that helps!
Walter Hynson no - you will get a cease and desist and also a chance to license. Look at Etsy - we would al love licenses. No no jail it’s not criminal like that - they can send a cease and desist and ask for royalties
Hi Al - we aren't able to give away these files due to licensing issues. Here is a link to the Beef version of the file we used. www.thinkstockphotos.com/image/stock-illustration-vintage-graphic-page-for-butcher-shop/184712168/popup?src=history
Hey there. I want to know that i am looking for a machine which can engrave on wooden mobile covers, metal mobile covers, engraving on glass and onto wooden keychains too. Can this machine can do all these types of jobs?
Yes, an Epilog Laser system with CO2 laser source can engrave wood, coated metals, plastic, glass, leather, paper, and many other materials. If you would like to receive a system quote you can locate your local distributor here - www.epiloglaser.com/where-to-buy/worldwide-distributors.htm
This is the pricing info I found. "The cost of our various laser systems is determined by speed (stepper vs. servo motors), engraving table size, and laser wattage (ranging from 30 watts to 120 watts) and range from $7,995 to $45,000 (US price only)."
+Kaan Kaanli - There are two systems featured in this video, the Zing 24 (24" x 12" work area) and the Helix (24" x 18" work area). In the U.S. the Zing 24 starts at $10,995 and the Helix starts at $16,495.

Hi James - yes you can safely etch directly onto a phone or laptop without causing any harm to the device. It's important to make sure that if you device is under warranty that it won't void the warranty. In most cases it should, but you should check first with the manufacturer. Here is a video of an iPad being laser etched with a vacation photo. www.epiloglaser.com/how-it-works/video/ipad-air-engraving.htm
Vintage Timepiece Collection Hello, the depth of the engraving can be controlled by varying the speed of the carriage and power of the laser to achieve different depths.
cool You said profitable but how about the cost of production parts and spares, and other things like electricity for example how it will cost me to engrave 1 by 1 square cm thanks for the videos
Hello - we have a very extensive list of material suppliers that can help you generate product ideas or source the products for customization with an Epilog Laser system. Here is a link to the Industry Links section on our website - www.epiloglaser.com/resources/industry-links.htm. As for the electrical needs of the laser, it will cost you very little to run the laser. The average cost of running our lasers in the U.S. is about $0.18 cents per hour (based on an average $0.12/kWh cost), but this will vary depending on the average cost per kWh where you live. Here is a page that explains how to calculate the cost per hour based on your kWh costs - support.epiloglaser.com/article/8205/29954/power-consumption-and-your-laser.
+マスタードラゴン(再開) - Hello, carbon fiber is a difficult material to cut with a laser, but you can do it with high wattage laser systems. The edge quality of laser cut carbon fiber is some applications is not desirable, but for others it is fine.
Hi Ed. Yes the Zing Laser also engraves glass items. The caveat there is that if you are interested in engraving cylindrical items you'll need to go with the Epilog Zing 24 system + the additional rotary attachment available for purchase. Any of the wattage laser tubes we offer will engrave glass, but if you are interested in increasing your throughput we recommend a 50 or 60-watt laser tube.
Great. SO please what is the price of the Zing 24, with the rotary attachment included. Also what other mediums will the zing 24 engrave and will it also cut through wood?
Hi Ed, we can have your local distributor put together a quote with the latest sales pricing, and we can set up a hands-on demo if you send your information to sales@epiloglaser.com.
Could one of these cut stencils 5 to 7 mil I would like to make stencils to sell and use could you suggest one Thank-you for your time and this great demo
is the driver (software for helix, mini, fusion etc) epilogue has an estimated working time without having to operate the machine first? to save consumers time

The Zing 16 laser system with 30-watt laser tube, a 16" x 12" (406 x 305 mm) work area, and engraving resolution up to 1000 DPI starts at $7,995 in the United States.

They have dealers that are assigned to your region. You could probably negotiate some of the pricing and options, but I don't think their margins are that high. If you're looking at the Mini 24, pricing starts around $13,995 for the 30 Watt, $14,995 for the 40 Watt and $16,995 for the 50 Watt. It all depends on how you want your package configured. Sure, you can build a much larger and higher wattage system for less, but you're going to be struggling with the software and hardware. I'm looking at a 40 or 50 Watt Mini 24. It's probably all I'll ever need for the occasional use it'd have. I'd rather pay more for a system that is ready to go versus building and tinkering for a year destroying material until I figured it out. Their lasers last much, much longer than the chinese glass HV tubes. I could probably get by with their Zing series for way less, but I like the extras and features of the Mini. I'd rather not have to battle with the materials and parts I want to engrave or cut.
Worth every penny spent, you have an amazing product at an affordable price. You have given people the ability to manufacture complex engravings in their own home, at a price that would pay for itself fairly quickly. Compared to a $300 3 axis laser desktop laser engraver - I personally have no doubt that this would take your business from starting out to leading the way.
Epilog Laser, what would you say sets you aside from your competitors? I am looking at muse and glowforge. All have strong points and weak ones. How do you defend at a side by side comparison unit price?
+TMX Design - Our Australian distributor currently has two locations, here is the information for those locations. www.epiloglaser.com.au/where-to-buy/worldwide/australia.htm
Yes, we used the Zing and Helix systems to produce all the samples featured in our video, but anyone of our systems will produce the same high-quality engravings you see here.
well that was useful in showing what they can do but since it was aimed for business owners it wasn't helpful to me because I want a laser cutter and engraver for personal use, but either way you have me convinced that you guys have some of the best laser engravers and cutters around. aka as soon as I have the money I'm so going to pick one of your zing 16's because they're the cheapest you have and I'm only 17 so it takes a while to get thousands of dollars.
You can print text, graphics, logos and photos with any graphics software. We recommend Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and CorelDRAW, but essentially, if you can print it, you can engrave it. For laser cutting, you will need to use a vector based graphic software like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW.
Hi Dimas - the leather preset is available and installed during the driver and software installation for your laser. You can find the setting under our driver in the Advanced tab settings. Additionally, the settings are available in the manual that came with your Epilog Laser. If you don't happen to have the manual handy you can download your manual here. www.epiloglaser.com/tech-support/laser-manuals.htm
Yes, you can change the power of the laser output as well. Depending on which material you are working with you can lower or raise the power and speed on a 1% to 100% scale.

I have the epilog helix 80 watt machine, what setting should i use to get a dark burn but not deep burn on red alder? Do you think 600 DPi on 100 speed 100 pwr would yield the results I'm looking for? Any help is appreciated.
Hi Javier, the trick to a dark burn that isn't deep is to vary the focus. Change the power to 40-50%, and try lowering the table in increments of a 1/16" and test each new focus on a piece of scrap wood until you see the results you are looking for in your mark.
@@epiloglaser thank you for the help. These videos have done wonders for me. Looking into photo laser plus now. Seems like a useful tool. I spend lots of time converting images for engraving on the same materials they have profiles for on that program. Seems like a time saving/profit increasing tool.
