Лазерная гравировка по ABS-пластику используется часто, но есть нюансы технологии.

Что происходит с ABS под лазером

ABS (акрилонитрил-бутадиен-стирол) не столько «гравируется», сколько плавится и вспенивается. Лазер локально нагревает поверхность, из-за чего:

материал темнеет или светлеет;

образуется матовая фактура;

появляется небольшой рельеф.

Поэтому результат ближе к маркировке, чем к глубокой гравировке.

Какие лазеры подходят

Лучше всего работают:

CO₂-лазер (10.6 µm) — стандарт для пластика

Диодный лазер — возможно, но хуже контраст

Волоконный (fiber) — почти не работает по чистому ABS

Типичная мощность:

30–60 W CO₂ для промышленной маркировки

10–20 W для мелких изделий

Визуальный результат

Зависит от состава пластика.

Возможные эффекты:

светло-серый на чёрном ABS

тёмный на светлом ABS

вспененный белый след

лёгкое углубление

Лучший контраст дают:

лазерный ABS (laserable ABS)

ABS с добавками для маркировки

Параметры (ориентировочно)

CO₂-лазер:

скорость: 300–800 мм/с

мощность: 10–40%

DPI: 300–600

один проход

Точные значения подбираются тестом.

Проблемы

Запах и испарения
ABS выделяет стирол → нужна вытяжка.

Оплавление краёв
Слишком высокая мощность даёт глянец и подтеки.

Низкий контраст
Дешёвый ABS иногда почти не меняет цвет.

Как делают брендинг лучше

Практические методы:

использовать двухслойный ABS (engraving plastic)

делать заливку краской после гравировки

применять лазерные добавки / masterbatch

использовать текстурную маркировку

Где это применяют

корпуса электроники

клавиатуры

промышленные панели

шильдики

инструменты

Когда лучше не лазер

Иногда лучше:

тампопечать

УФ-печать

литьё с логотипом

наклейка из поликарбоната

Если нужно, могу дать:

точные настройки для конкретного станка,

как добиться белого контраста на чёрном ABS,

или как делают брендирование на заводах электроники.

"During the 1930s and ‘40s, as new forms of entertainment were electronically transmitted along radio waves from venues and broadcast stations to the public in their homes, the streamline designs of radios further conveyed the idea of technological progress. Portable radios were often designed with highly swept back, rounded, aerodynamic housings.

Flat patterns bent into bowl shapes with a heat gun. A simple hair dryer worked well with PLA plastic.

We attached the blades with screws so you can easily service them. Good luck!

As a furniture designer, I believe in European manufacturing—so why not use European tools to communicate our work? Since most furniture design happens here, a European platform makes perfect sense. I’m excited to see what this platform offers and hope more designers will embrace it over time.

"In the 1890s, the cost of a new, full-size typewriter was more than the average American earned in one month. Index typewriters were a simpler and more affordable alternative. Available at a fraction of the price and manufactured in a variety of designs, they were the earliest portable writing machines. The innovative wheel-index Victor typewriter printed from type attached to the ends of strips arranged in a daisy-wheel pattern, much like the IBM Wheelwriter a century later.
