  1. 7 points to Consider while engraving metals Metal engraving is a procedure of printmaking lines into a metal plate to insert ink. The metal sheet is cleaned and polished first, then the laser engraving machine cuts the plate per the pattern installed in the computer, and ink is filled into the spaces. Metal can be engraved with characters in different fonts and designs or patterns of designs. When a laser engraver is working, it should always be under supervision. It is essential to have proper safety measures at the place. Cleaning workshops are a requirement while engraving metals can cause explosions. 7 points to Consider while engraving metals: 1. Select the correct type of laser: Choosing your laser wisely from the available options is essential to know the wavelength of energy absorption in the metal. 2. Be informed about metal: Before inserting the metal sheet for the process, it is vital to understand all the properties of the metal to be aware of the possible reaction. 3. Optimisation of laser power: It is necessary to manage and control the emission of energy as per the change in the metal sheet. 4. Minimised quantity of encoded information: In case of marking for trace, the data matrix code or QR code is a great way to engrave over the metal. It is easy to read through scanning and is durable. 5. Implementing the proper engraving process: Choosing the proper process of engraving is essential as per the requirement and metal. It also depends upon the type of engraving required. 6. Post process treatments: It is necessary to implement appropriate post-engraving procedures and to clean after engraving to make it readable.

  2. 7. Dust management: Metallic dust released during the engraving procedures needs to be managed and cleansed in time as it can affect the working of the metal laser engraver or cause some explosions. Wrapping Paragraph: Metal engraving is mostly used in both the industrial and artistic industries as it provides precise and clear results. But for safety purposes, it is essential to consider the metal to be used and the impact the laser can create on the material. The procedure should be implemented with utmost precautions.
