ZPM - Regrettably that's not actually my work. It was done by another prop maker friend of mine, Phillip Freeman (http://www.facebook.com/Actiprops). They accidentally switched some of our photos around, so some of my work is under his name and vice versa. He already has a Hurricane, so I'm hoping we can just let it ride and I'll owe him a favor or whatnot.


Merbig you're the greatest!

why does a mitten maker need a giant laser machine?

3/18/2012 1:37:30 PM

Does anyone really need a reason to own a laser?

3/18/2012 1:42:00 PM

I mean...... can you laser wool without it catching on fire? the two things just don't seem to go together

that being said I have never attempted to laser wool before

I've "cut" cotton fabrics with a CO2 laser before. The edges singe well, so I can imagine that wool would give similar results unless it completely bursts into flames and sets your house on fire.

There is like a month left on this poll, anyone can come back in a big way with that much time. Best to get a huge early led to discourage other folks from trying.

I fully expect a TWW themed laser-cut novelty as a result of this thread.

It can score anodized metals or metals coated with a certain chemical treatment, but it can't mark bare metals.

From wiki:

Coated metals

However, the same conduction that works against the spot vaporization of metal is an asset if the objective is to vaporize some other coating away from the metal. Laser engraving metal plates are manufactured with a finely-polished metal, coated with an enamel paint made to be "burned off". At levels of 10-30 watts, excellent engravings are made as the enamel is removed quite cleanly. Much laser engraving is sold as exposed brass or silver-coated steel lettering on a black or dark-enamelled background. A wide variety of finishes are now available, including screen-printed marble effects on the enamel. Spray coatings can be obtained for the specific use of laser engraving metals, these sprays apply a coating that is visible to the laser light which fuses the coating to the substrate where the laser passed over. Typically, these sprays can also be used to engrave other optically invisible or reflective substances such as glass and are available in a variety of colours.

[TL;DR]

Use a specific metal marking spray.
