Faceplate material

Post by lavrgs »

I was curious if anyone has a recommendation for a 2 ply (gold/black) material that can be engraved. I've found a couple items but thought I would ask first

LaserMark is what a lot of people use.

Very nice. What machine (brand and model) are you using for the engraving?

Thanks,
Josh

Beautiful work! How do you fill these panels? Do you spray the entire panel, then remove paint from the raised surfaces? Are these panels anodized before they're filled? I engrave panels with a mill, and color fill is the most difficult part of the job.

Wow, good stuff! I can't afford that. I've been looking at a generic 80W CO2 laser setup for a few grand, and still don't know if it's worth it yet compared to paying somebody else to make stuff. I would certainly prefer to do it myself though.

Thanks,
Josh

yes ... I outsource my production due to the high cost of the equipment, unfortunately generic equipment does not have the quality and definition to make a perfect finish. I would also like to have the machines to produce myself, some in silk screen I produce myself
