Laser Engrave Chrome Electroplated Material
Posted: Mon Sep 25, 2023 9:08 am
G'day,
Just wondering if anybody has ever laser engraved any chrome electroplated material, and if you have any tips? I'm just a little skeptical about engraving a reflective surface and worried that I may somehow destroy my laser. I have just bought a Two Trees TTS-55 40W Laser Engraver. The manufacturer states to run the laser through once at 100% power and at a 300mm a minute speed for elctroplated material. Do I need to do any pre-coating before I start to engrave? Please find photo attached.
Any help is much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Sam.
