Freehand laser cutter creates instant flat-pack design

Posted on August 1, 2012 by CapeAdminCraft

You could call it the rebirth of the 2D printer. a new device generates flat pack-like designs in seconds using a laser pointer and a laser cutter – the latest addition to the new field of “interactive fabrication”, which promises to further help ordinary consumers become product designers.

Computer design packages and 3D printers now make it possible for anyone to dream up and build new gadgets. but the cost of the technology isn’t the only obstacle facing would-be designers, says Patrick Baudisch at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany.

“I own a $40,000 3D printer and a $40,000 laser cutter – both comparably cool pieces of equipment,” says Baudisch. “Surprisingly, the 3D printer runs once a month – the laser cutter runs several times a day.”

It’s the engineer’s need for speed that is the issue, he says. “The 3D printer takes hours. With the laser cutter I can have an object in seconds – it’s insanely fast.”

Working with his colleagues Stefanie Mueller and Pedro Lopes, Baudisch has turned his laser cutter into a tabletop device that allows anyone to quickly and precisely cut out complex designs from a sheet of plywood, using nothing more than a boxful of colourful laser pointers.

Clever cuts

A webcam mounted above the table tracks the designs that the user draws onto the plywood using the laser pointers. The information passes to a computer, which tidies up the freehand drawing and instructs the laser cutter to burn the design into the wood.

The computer recognises from a sensor inside each laser pointer that each has a precise function, which allows the user to add extra complexity as the design develops. One laser point, for instance, will etch a circle in the plywood. Clicking that circle with a second laser pointer will instruct the laser cutter to add teeth to the circle’s outer rim, creating a gear. Other laser pointers will simply score rather than cut the wood to make it easier to fold, or add finger joints along some edges so that flat designs can be pushed together once folded.

“By the time my 3D printer has produced the first object, I have iterated so much [with the laser cutter] that I have developed an entirely different approach to the problem – that has huge implications for the creative process,” says Baudisch, who will present the device at the User Interface Software and Technology conference in Boston in October.

The technology might seem to be a niche product right now, but Mark Gross at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, says devices like it are an “emerging opportunity”.

“My favourite analogy is the desktop printing revolution,” he says. as hardware prices dropped and the software became widely available and easy to use, everyone could design and print their own documents, says Gross. “We’re likely to see a similar sequence of events in the world of rapid fabrication.”

Laser Wood Cutting

Posted on July 31, 2012 by CapeAdminCraft

Ever since its introduction in the mid 1900’s the laser has come a long way. From light shows to scientific experiments, this optical phenomenon has been used in a variety of avenues. Today, lasers are being used in the manufacture process as cutting equipment.

Laser cutting devices direct a high-powered laser beam at the required surface. this makes the surface burn, melt or vaporize, giving the end product a high quality finish. Laser cutting is used on a variety of surfaces such as plastic, glass, metal and so on. Wood is another popular surface for laser cutting.

Most laser cutters are powered by CO2. Wood has a high absorption of the 10.6-micron wavelength of CO2. The cutting takes place as a result of a chemical degradation process, where wood fiber is burned away and removed under the pressure of an assist gas. Due to this, the edges of wood articles cut by the laser process appear charred, but there is negligible surface discoloration.

There are several factors that influence the ability of a laser to cut wood. Firstly, the characteristic of the laser beam should be taken into consideration. These include power, mode, polarization and stability. Usually, lasers used for cutting wood range between 200 to 800 watts. However, depending on the application and the intricacy of work, the beam density maybe varied. The equipment and processing variables such as the design of the beam, the feed speed and the type of gas used also greatly affect the wood cutting process. Lastly, the properties of the work piece also affect the efficiency of the laser cutting process. For example, dry lightweight woods are easy to cut, while dense moisture laden woods require more effort.

The laser cutting process scores several advantages over the conventional wood cutting methods. The traditional saw cutting method cannot match the level of accuracy and intricacy achieved by laser cutting. Moreover, the durability of the end product is greater and wastage of materials is minimized. However, with each machine accompanied by a cost of several thousand dollars, it is not an affordable option for everyone.

Laser Cutting, Waterjet Cutting & Plasma Cutting – Key Differences in the Major CNC Cutting Services

Posted on July 30, 2012 by CapeAdminCraft

When selecting metal cutting services, one has several good options to choose from. But there are significant differences between these options, and the informed buyer can save a bundle with the right choice.

Laser Cutting:

Laser cutting involves light moving in a straight line towards the work piece, removing metal by vaporization. Laser cutters usually have tolerances down to .0005 inches. they are potentially the most precise and can have the smallest kerf (or cutting width). they are also the fastest at cutting thin material (16 gauge or thinner). More powerful laser cutters can cut mild steel as thick as 1.25 inches. the supply of the laser involves laser gasses and electricity.

Waterjet Cutting:

Waterjet cutting involves abrasives and high pressure water at 35-75,000 PSI aimed towards the workpiece resulting in precise abrasion cutting. Steel parts can be as thick as 6 inches and stay within tolerances of +/- .003 of an inch. Materials can range from metal to ceramic tiles and virtually anything between. it is by far the slowest method of the cutting services discussed in this article. the supply of the waterjet includes water and moderately expensive tiny rocks called garnet.

Plasma Cutting:

Plasma cutting involves high temperature plasma and an electric arc seeking ground. in this case, it seeks ground through the workpiece–and in the process removes metal by melting the material and blowing it away from the work area. Plasma cutting has by far the fastest speeds when cutting thick metal. Plasma cutting requires electricity and certain gasses to function.

Which Cutting Method Works best?

The best cutting method largely depends on the capabilities required. If a job involves a piece of metal 1 thick or less and requiring moderate to strict tolerances, nothing beats a laser cutter. If a workpiece is made of an exotic material that has low tolerance to heat (called a Heat Affected Zone), then a waterjet is likely your best bet. If the material is metallic and extremely thick (say, 1.5 inches or more) and speed is crucical, then plasma cutting would be the best.

Laser Cutting – Path Breaking Technology

Posted on July 29, 2012 by CapeAdminCraft

If you are looking to renovate your industrial setup and introduce innovative technology then laser cutting is the ultimate answer. The right and viable alternative for custom cutting of metal sheets and old fashioned tool techniques. it is the most simple and precise method which can be applied almost by every businessman in the industry.

Laser is mostly used to cut steel and other tough metals and it is used in all industrial units which manufacture iron and steel and it is also used in small custom shops. Here laser is used to cut flat sheet metal as well as structural and piping material by cutting, burning, vaporizing, melting and at the end blasting it away by powerful jet of air in order to retain a perfect finish with a clean cut edge.

Laser cutting services have their own advantages which we will discuss soon. Laser as a material do not get eroded or worn down during the process of metallurgy and they use heat during the operation. As a result the actual zone of heat is smaller which leads to less chances of warping. you have the liberty to alter the output of laser and it totally depends on the thickness of the metal. As a result you can be assured that the damage caused by heat will be drastically reduced during the cutting process. As a process is more precise and reliable as you can cut a metal more quickly by laser which leads to easy workholding and reduced contamination of work piece.

When you cut a metal by using the ordinary technique the process involves a lot of cutting and grinding and as a result the edge of the tool becomes jagged and the cutting blades becomes contaminated by the previous assignment and needs to be tidied up. Laser cutting applies computerized technology and as a result a mind-blowing precision is achieved. So after you cut a piece you are not required to provide any further finish. thus laser cutting services are more precise and quicker than any other cutting technology.

Laser cutting services have become popular these days as the cost of laser cutters have reduced drastically and technology curves out a niche in the competitive industry. these are basically specialist laser cutting shops which customs cut metal materials for manufacturers who are their clients. they provide various advantages like you don’t have to spend money to train and maintain operators for the operation of laser cutting equipment. thus you can outsource your high end cutting jobs to these services for a more accurate and faster service as they are cost effective and easily maintained.
