6.4 3D Tips
3D processing uses degrees of the gray level to adjust the output energy of the laser. Take the figures below as
an example. When the color of a certain block is set as 100% black, the laser output energy for processing will
be at 100%. The processing depth will be fairly deep. When the gray level is set as 50% black, the laser output
energy will be adjusted to a smaller value accordingly so that the processing depth is not as deep.
By specifying the degrees of the gray level in this way, various energy output is achieved and the 3D effects are
produced.
By specifying different levels of black in design software, the corresponding laser power
energy will generate different depths of engraving result.
Introduction to software for 3D graphic production
Many ways to produce 3D graphics are available. If you are familiar with or frequently use one of the 3D software
in the market like Laser Type, EngraveLab, 3D Studio etc., you may use it for the production of 3D graphics.
After completion, save the 3D images as one of the formats that is compatible with the Laser Engraver (such as
JPG or BMP) and let the machine begin the engraving. If you are not familiar with any 3D software, some editing
software specific for laser in the market also have 3D mode functionality, which could be a handy tool for you to
produce 3D objects. Of course, you may also use Photoshop or CorelDRAW, which you might be using on daily
basis, for the production of 3D objects. Ways to produce 3D graphics with these software are not the same. In
the following section, we will give you simple illustrations with respect to how these software work.
Laser Professional AP
Currently, quite few laser professional application softwares like Laser Type, 3D studio, EngraveLab are
available in the market. You can not only create all kinds of vector images with these AP but also convert these
vector images into 3D module, which is a great way to produce 3D graphics.
As illustrated in the figure below, all you need to do is to choose the direction of the vector and then set the
length and shape of the convex or concave surface. The software will automatically generate the 3D graphic for
you.
