Laser Engraving Experience.
4 years ago, in 2020, he purchased his first diode laser machine, an ORT UR LM21-4, and so started his journey in this very symbiotic
collaboration between art and computer technology, for which he was perfectly qualified and experienced.
He now has 7 diode lasers, ranging from 5.5W to 20W, and has mastered the skills to engrave on wood, canvas, ceramic tiles, glass, mirrors, denim, stainless steel, and recently with various scratch materials from GreatCarve. Even chicken egg shells.
He posts his work on over 15 Facebook groups, where he tries to share his knowledge and successful engraving techniques with as many other users as possible.
He has recently been introduced to some new laminated scratch acrylic and leather materials, designed specifically for the laser engraving technology by a company called GreatCarve.
