I can’t help but wonder if large 3D printer manufacturers feel just a tinge of worry about the small startups, the open-source hackers, and the crowdsourcing campaigns that have been responsible for some of the least expensive and most ingenious printers out there. While there doesn’t seem to be any immediate danger of large-scale consumer abandonment for giants like 3D Systems and Stratasys – despite some recent bumps in the road – many people are put off by the high cost of 3D printers. And these days, those people don’t have to look far to find much less expensive alternatives – alternatives that are, depending on the customers’ needs, just as good as or better than the high-end printers that cost several thousand dollars more.
Despite recent trends showing that overall printer prices are beginning to drop, many individuals have turned away from the larger market and have developed their own low-cost, high-quality machines that, when offered up on crowdsourcing sites, have proved to be very enticing to 3D printer enthusiasts. Just last week we wrote about E-Mergin Innovations, whose sub-$500 TRIUM 3D printer has now surpassed its Kickstarter funding goal. Now we’ve received word of a similarly named but very different type of printer that will be launching on Kickstarter tomorrow. Meet the Trinus – an all-metal, professional-grade 3D printer/laser engraver hybrid.
The Trinus was born from the frustration of Bojan Smiljanic, an industrial designer who didn’t want to invest thousands of dollars in a 3D printer that would need maintenance, upgrades, and may not meet all of his design needs. For a while he ordered his prototypes through third party printing bureaus likeShapeways, but ran into difficulties with long wait times and materials that didn’t work with his designs. Then he joined San Francisco-based startup Kodama, Inc., and the idea for the Trinus was developed.
You won’t find any flimsy plastic or cheap internal parts in the Trinus – it’s made completely from high-end aluminum and steel, inside and out.
Trinus was designed by scaling down the mechanics of an industrial printer to a desktop size. The sturdy metal construction and single-axis slider keep the printer steady and eliminate the need for constant recalibration, and it’s designed simply, with only 11 components for easy assembly in half an hour or so. As we’ve seen with other inexpensive printers, the secret to low cost – and to customer sanity – seems to be “simplify, simplify, simplify.” With a printer like this one or the TRIUM, you’re often getting the same quality and versatility that you’d be getting with a much more expensive printer, but by eliminating a lot of bells and whistles, you’re saving yourself both money and a headache.
Trinus will be able to print with a wide variety of filament, from standard PLA to exotics like polycarbonate, wood, and aluminum. Thanks to a partnership with Polymaker, the Kickstarter will be providing discounted filament from the popular filament manufacturer. Flextronics and Panowin are also lending their support to the campaign.
Here are a few more specifications:
• Print volume: 120 x 125 x 125 mm
• Print speed: up to 70 mm/sec | Moving speed: up to 150 mm/sec
• Minimum layer height: 0.05mm (50 microns)
• Print material: 1.75mm PLA, ABS, PC, flex, wood, aluminum
• OS supported: Windows, Mac
• Connectivity: USB, SD Card (autoprint)
• Power consumption: 60W • Weight: 9.8kg
Other options, such as an enclosure case and a heated bed platform, are also available. Trinus will include its own proprietary Pango software, but the printer will work with any other software or gcode. And, lest we forget, Trinus is more than just a 3D printer. It only takes 60 seconds to convert it from a printer to a laser engraver, and a third head will be added by the end of the year – hence the name (Trinus is the Latin word for “triple”). According to Smiljanic, however, they’re nowhere near finished.
Watch out, ZMorph. The Trinus Kickstarter campaign will officially launch on March 30; you can sign up atKodama 3D’s website or like them on Facebook to get notified the second the campaign goes live if you want to get a chance at being one of the first 100 backers, who will receive a special early bird price of $199. The regular price will be $299, which, according to Kodama 3D, is more than worth it.

Laser engraving IDs catching on - Wholesale Laser Engraving | us.hanslaser.net
Often the emphasis is on
the security used to protect the data stored in a card, but what’s equally as
important are the security features techniques used to protect the data printed
on the card itself.
Laser engraving is nothing new, but the price
is dropping and more customers are looking at the security feature, says
Jonathan Bowen, sales manager at Digital Identification Solutions. The Greer,
S.C.-based company released the EDIsecure LCP 9000 Laser Color Personalization
System last year, one of the first desktop laser engraving systems that sells
for less than $100,000.
Digital Identification Solutions is targeting
the printer to the driver license and government markets in the Americas, Bowen
says. “Those who have huge issues with forged and faked cards are our primary
customers,” he says. The company is expecting to ship its first units this
fall.
Overseas more
governments are using laser engraving or looking at the technology as well,
says Chris Dyball, chief operating officer at Lasercard Corp. The Mountain
View, Calif.-based company provides national ID systems to a number of
countries. Costa Rica’s national ID and the U.S. and Canada’s Permanent
Resident Cards each use laser engraving, he says.
As governments are looking for better ways to
secure documents many are finding a solution in laser engraving. “The
predominant way of creating images on a card was dye transfer but many are
transitioning to laser engraving,” Dyball says.
Money matters
But with dye sublimation printers a fraction
of the cost of laser engraving why make the switch? “Laser engraving makes it
difficult to remove or alter the card information,” Bowen says. “The normal
person who wants to fake the card won’t bother with it, he’ll move on to
another target. It’s also expensive enough to keep the criminal element away
and technical enough to where if he got it he wouldn’t know what to do with
it.”
Laser engraving actually burns the
information into the card, Bowen says. “It burns through the top level and
reacts with the inner card body,” he says. “It’s impossible to scratch the
information off or remove it with chemicals.”
Information can sometimes be removed or
changed from cards printed on dye sublimation machines, Dyball says. “The image
is essentially at the surface,” he says. “You can then put a overlay over the
dye transfer image but even when you do that you can peel off the patch and
take solvent or a mild abrasive and remove it and the fraud would be difficult
to detect.”
Dye images can also suffer over time, Dyball
says. Temperature and humidity can affect the images over time causing them to
fade.
Laser engraving also creates a tactile
security feature on the card, Bowen says. When the information is burned into
the card body it creates raised ridges that can be felt, similar to an embossed
credit card. “When a state trooper pulls someone over and only has a few
minutes to validate an ID the tactile feature is great,” he says. “It’s
virtually impossible to forge on a desktop printer.”
Laser engraving also has the ability to print
changeable laser images and multiple laser images on cards, Bowen says. This
enables an issuer to print a last name and date of birth in the same area but
depending on what angle you hold the card what is seen changes. For example, at
one angle an individual will see the name but at another he will see the date
of birth.
To enable this feature an issuer has to make
some changes to its card stock manufacturing process and place a small lens on
the card body. The laser will then burn the information in at different angles
to enable the feature. “It’s a security feature you can see with the naked eye
and it’s impossible to create with any other type of desktop printer,” Bowen
says.
Laser printers have another advantage, no
consumables, such as printer ribbons, Dyball says. People with widely
distributed issuance sites are looking at laser engraving because of the
savings on consumables,” he says. “You have an upfront investment but savings
over time.”
Drawbacks of laser engraving
The high cost is one drawback to laser
engraving, another is the inability to print color images, Dyball says. “Laser
engraving over the past few years have gotten better at gray scale images,” he
says, noting that current engravers can modulate the pulse of the laser and get
much better gray scale images.
Some still want color, though, and use both
dye sublimation and laser engraving. “We have a customer in Italy who buys the
card bodies and color prints the photos and laser engraves the text,” Dyball
says.
As counterfeiters get more sophisticated and
governments want to increase security, laser engraving is one solution they may
look at.

Why Laser Engraving on Mobile Devices Makes Sense for Security | us.hanslaser.net
In the digital age, identification has become a
complicated thing. Lengthy passwords, fingerprint readers and retina scanners
are just a few of the high-tech methods businesses try to authenticate identity
and protect property. But something as simple as “putting your name on it” —
tried and tested in kindergarten classrooms and office refrigerators everywhere
— can be just as valuable.
That’s the basic idea behind engraving, a laser-guided
method of imprinting identifiable information on hardware or mobile devices. In
the event that this property is lost or stolen, and found by an honest party,
it can be returned to its owners.
While relatively easy to implement, the benefits of
laser engraving are numerous in organizations with mobile employees juggling
multiple devices.
Permanent
Protection
Instead of receiving a thick binder of documents
before board meetings, directors of Happy State Bank in
Amarillo, Texas, now get the information they need downloaded to gold-finished
Apple iPad devices laser-engraved with the bank’s logo and individual
identifiers for the hardware. In addition to being more convenient for the
directors, the new system is more efficient and secure for the bank, says Mark
Murray, the bank’s assistant vice president for IT.
“We
used to send someone to deliver the board books to each director,” he says.
“It was time-consuming and a security risk as well
as being much more costly. Now, if one of the devices goes missing, we can
disable it, and the engraving
makes it easier to trace and identify.”
The
addition of the permanent ID number for each tablet will also save the bank’s
IT staff considerable time and aggravation when they are troubleshooting a
problem or performing regular maintenance on the tablets, says Murray.
“With
the old iPads, we had to dive into the machines and go through some settings
and menu items to discover which device we were working on, and then connect it
with the person using it,” he says.
In the hands of the directors, the logo on the
sleek tablet also gives Happy State Bank increased presence in the community,
Murray says. “Our logo is very
important to us. It’s our brand, and we like to show it anywhere we can.
Our directors are highly visible in the community, and when they carry the
iPads around, it’s good for the bank.”
Theft
Repellent
While
the prominent logo attracts attention to the bank, it can also act as a
deterrent to potential thieves, says Christopher Brooks, the CDW systems
administrator who manages the company’s custom engraving service. Most of CDW’s
laser-engraving customers take the step for the sake of theft prevention as
well as brand visibility, he says.
“We see a rising trend among companies and,
especially, academic institutions to put their logo or brand on their hardware
— the custom engraving looks good and is on for good,” says Brooks. “Thieves
are a lot less likely to grab something that’s been permanently marked with a
name or logo, since they’re
usually hoping to sell what they steal.”
Better
Device Management
Even
if a thief does get away with the hardware, the etched logo and ID number can
be invaluable to police when the stolen item is recovered and they want to
return it to its owner, says Cpl. Jerry Neufeld of the Amarillo Police
Department Crime Prevention Unit.
“Anything that can make an item identifiable to law
enforcement is a good thing, and the more permanent the marking is, the
better,” he says. “Also, the more specific the information on the marking is, the more likely the owner is to get it back.”
The
new tablets for Happy State Bank directors are replacements for the
hard-to-come-by first-generation iPad devices for which bank staff scoured
stores in two states several years ago. This time, the bank went to CDW for the
20 iPads they needed for directors and for help with issues in managing the
first-generation devices, says Bryan Barcroft, application support specialist
at the bank. In the course of discussing the purchase, the bank’s IT team
learned about the custom-engraving option, one of the offerings provided by
CDW’s configuration services.
“We needed an update for the iPad, and we were
looking for ways to manage the devices more efficiently,” says Barcroft. “When
the engraving service came up, it seemed like the right idea. This is our board
of directors, so we want the package to look as professional as possible —we’re not going to slap a sticky label on the
back of the iPad we give them.”
Inexpensive
Insurance
Happy
State Bank is also considering putting a laser-engraved logo and identifier on
notebooks and other mobile devices used by bank staff, as well as equipment in
some of its branches, says Barcroft.
“The cost
of the engraving is negligible in relation to a $1,000 notebook and
is certainly worth it for the security and visibility benefits,” he says.
“We’re thinking about it for anything mobile.”

Further Laser Engraving Innovations to Come before drupa 2016 | Wholesale Laser Engraving/Etching Machine
Dual-beam technology will soon be available for
the Cellaxy laser engraving system for gravure form production. This high-speed
dual-beam engraving technology is already available for the existing S1300 and
S1700 PremiumSetter models for flexographic printing. The third model in the
PremiumSetter series, the S3000, will also be launched before drupa and will
have up to four laser sources.
15 years of laser expertise
HELL has been supplying the market with highly sophisticated laser technologies for 15 years. Having previously focused exclusively on manufacturing electromechanical engraving for rotogravure printing, the Kiel-based company moved into the flexographic printing market in 2000 with the HelioFlex series for CtP laser imaging of photopolymer forms. Launched in 2005, the Cellaxy enables gravure customers to use single-pass or multipass laser engraving on a variety of metals. The first PremiumSetter for direct laser engraving of elastomer flexographic printing forms followed in 2006. Optics and high-power lasers have now also become a fundamental part of the company’s core know-how.
Maintenance-free high-power fiber laser with high-tech optical head
Fiber laser technology is the key component of both the Cellaxy and the PremiumSetter series. It is ideal for high-precision applications at high engraving speeds. HELL took this technology to a whole new level in a joint development with laser manufacturer IPG, delivering the ultimate in beam quality and stability for precise direct engraving of gravure, embossing, and flexographic forms.
The CW (continuous wave) fiber laser emits an unpulsed (i.e. continuous) laser beam – this is vital for highly productive laser engraving. The wavelength of 1070 nm lies in the infrared range and the focused beam supplies the energy required to remove the material with absolute precision. With a 600 W beam, the IPG fiber laser is one of the most powerful in its class.
The exit developed jointly with IPG and the latest-generation maintenance-free optical head specially designed by HELL get the very best out of the fiber laser. The high-quality components and the optimum optical setup complete with water cooling ensure excellent beam stability over the entire engraving time. This means that the optical system’s lenses are completely stable despite having a high-energy beam passing through them. Consequently, beam focusing and thus spot size remain constant under all conditions.

Consequently, beam focusing and thus spot size remain constant under all conditions.
What’s more, a new kind of plug & play interface between exit and optical head results in an exceptionally service-friendly system.
Twain boosts performance
The Twain principle of equipping the direct engraving system with a second optical head enables a further doubling of the production speed. It consists of two optical heads splitting the layout across the cylinder. In thePremiumSetter S3000, the four-beam option will consist of two optical heads (each on its own laser carriage) with two laser beams each.
Depending on the material, the 600 W fiber laser engraves an area of 0.37 to 0.6 m²/h. The productivity is correspondingly higher with two beams (0.74 to 1.2 m²/h at 1200 W) and four beams (1.48 to 2.4 m²/h at 2400 W). These figures are pure engraving speed without using the FastForward functions that additionally enhance the machine performance.
PremiumSetter S3000 development project
The PremiumSetter S3000 will set new standards in direct engraving for high-quality flexographic printing and will outperform all other direct engraving machines.
With up to four laser sources, resulting in a total output of 2400 W, the S3000 will engrave a far larger format. It will support printing form widths of up to 3000 mm – as the name suggests – and printing form circumferences of up to 1400 mm. Users will benefit from HELL’s in-house synergies between gravure and flexographic printing – not only in terms of optics and laser, but also with regard to hardware. The machine bed, linear drive, bearing blocks, automatic hood, and Twain principle are today used in other HELL products, while the laser, optics, electronic control system, software, job ticket workflow, brush, suction device, and filter technology are all tried-and-tested components of the S1700.

Farpointe adds laser engraving option to access control credentials | Wholesale Laser Engraving/Etching Machine
Farpointe
Data, the access control industry's global partner of choice for premium RFID
solutions, today announced that security system access control manufacturers,
integrators and dealers can order proximity and smart card credentials
with tactile laser engraving. Whether clamshell, printable, printable with
magnetic stripe card or key ring or disc tag, Farpointe will permanently laser
engrave logos and text, URLs, signature blocks, messaging, other graphics or
whatever the manufacturer, integrator or end customer wants.
"Many system manufacturers, integrators and dealers
find that monochromatic credential laser engraving is helpful in building their
brand and encouraging credential re-orders," relates Scott Lindley,
Farpointe Data president. "Laser engraving provides a longer lasting, much
cleaner appearance than dye sublimation printing. It remains for the lifetime
of the card."
According to Lindley, the laser engraving for security
purposes is ideal for identification cards. Recently, laser engraving is
becoming much more widespread in its use. Historically, dye transfer has been
the preferred method for adding graphics on identification cards but laser
engraving is quickly surpassing it worldwide.
Laser engraving lets security systems manufacturers,
integrators and dealers mark access cards and tags permanently, creating an
extra level of security by ensuring their credentials are safe from fraud with
a tamper-proof solution. The extremely high quality tactile images and text can
be highly individualized for each customer's or organization's needs while
meeting security standards imposed by national and international law.
The laser printing option is available from Farpointe
now.

PREPARING IMAGES FOR LASER ETCHING ISN’T THAT HARD| Wholesale Laser Engraving | us.hanslaser.net
Sometimes we forget how awesome laser
cutters really are. After all, they’re essentially giant plotters that shoot
infrared lasers to cut and engrave almost anything. Most of the time, we’ll use
the cutting feature in order to make rapid prototypes for different projects. We
might engrave a logo or text on there too — but with a bit of image
pre-processing, you can actually etch grey scale images that look really good.
has been experimenting with
different processes to get the best engraving, and he’s decided to share his
findings. He’s created a guide on Instructables, and it’s a pretty quick read.
You’re going to need some image editing software, for which recommends Gimp — as do we.
From there it’s just a matter of a few
steps to simplify the image. Start by converting the image to indexed colors —
this limits the number of colors the image can have, he recommends limiting to
about 4 colors for now. From there, convert to grey scale and import into your
favorite laser software. Now it’s time to start testing.
laser settings Depending on your laser
cutter, the image, and type of material your engraving, you’re likely going to
have to do a whole set of different tests, adjusting the settings as you go.
To make this easier for yourself, it helps
to throw in some text to indicate what settings you used. That way once you’re
done, you can look through all the samples and pick your favorite.
And that’s about it! You should probably
bookmark his guide though, as he’s planning on adding some advanced techniques
in the near future, including adding some detail back using vector lines.

How Laser Engraving Can Spruce Up Your Home | Wholesale & Retail Laser Engraving/Etching Machine
If the success of television shows like
ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and HGTV’s Design on a Dime proves
anything, it’s that people just can’t get enough of do-it-yourself home
decoration.
Walk into any Home Depot or Lowe’s Home
Improvement store across America on just about any weekend, and you’re likely
to find hordes of people looking to spruce up their living spaces.
One method for
interior decorating that may not have occurred to those Design
on a Dime viewers and Home Depot shoppers is laserengraving. It’s a method that offers a fun way to put a personal touch on a
home, and one that could possibly even save consumers some money in the long
haul.
In the
living room alone, throw rugs, pillows, and couch cushions can all be created
or enhanced by laser engraving. A piece of felt is all you need to make a
laser-engraved rug. The laser engraver can cut through felt exposing the floor
below, or patterns can be created on the felt’s surface.
The
kitchen offers a plethora of ways to put a laser engraver to work. In this
room, home improvement mavens can carve a design on their wine glasses, create
an intricate design on a rolling pin, or even spice up their spice rack.
And
the list goes on. Practically every corner of your home offers an opportunity
to put a laser engraver to work.
Epilog
Laser’s Zing series gives the do-it-yourself enthusiast a practical option to
decorate their home with a laser engraver. Its Red Dot Pointer makes project
layout a breeze, as users can see exactly where the laser will fire. Especially
on smaller items like bottle openers, this feature is critical.
The Zing’s 3D
mode gives engravers the ability to create complex, visually arresting designs.
The power of the laser is adjusted based on the grayscale in the artwork, and
the results can be truly breathtaking. Wooden household items such as coasters
or carving boards are perfect for showing off the stunning designs that the
Zing’s 3D mode can produce.
And the money do-it-yourself decorators can
save with the Zing really does add up. With its wide variety of uses around the
house, laser engravers really can design on a dime.

ideas? Let us know!

Weekend Workshop: How to build a laser engraver on the cheap | us.hanslaser.net
Need something to keep you busy this weekend? Look no further. The Weekend Workshop is our weekly column where we showcase a badass DIY project that you can complete with minimal skills and expertise. We’ve dug through all the online tutorials on the Web, and gone the extra mile to pinpoint projects that are equal parts easy, affordable, and fun. So put on your work pants, grab your tool belt, and head to the garage — it’s time to start building!
Take a quick stroll through any maker-oriented website, and you’ll find no shortage of DIY laser engraver builds. There are a zillion of these things on the Web, but not all of them are created equal. Some are impossibly complex and expensive, while others are so low-budget and haphazardly cobbled together that they’re hardly worth the effort. But of all the homemade laser engravers we’ve come across, this one from Instructables user MichielD99 is definitely one of the best.
The great thing about this particular build is that it’s made from relatively inexpensive materials and electronic components, but it’s designed in such a way that the end product looks very clean and professional. It also has a fairly large engraving surface (500 x 380mm), and the tool head is designed to be interchangeable. If you swap the laser our for a Dremel, the machine suddenly becomes a CNC router. So, not only can you use this machine for things like engraving leather or cutting cardboard — you can also use it to cut super-precise shapes in, wood, foam, or plastic. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
And the craziest part? The whole thing was designed and built by a 16-year-old kid from Belgium, and it only took him about three months from start to finish. As an added bonus, MichielD99‘s building instructions are simple enough for just about anybody to follow, and the entire build can be completed with a relatively small number of tools. Here’s everything you’ll need to get started:
Tools:
Drill press
Jigsaw
Dremel or other rotary tool
Electric screwdriver
Metric wrench/ratchet set
Sander
Tape measure
pencil
