1. What type of pens work best for laser engraving? Pens with a smooth surface—whether metal, plastic, or coated—are ideal for laser engraving. Avoid pens with intricate designs or irregular surfaces.
2. How do I avoid damaging the pens during engraving? To avoid damage, adjust the power and speed settings based on the material of the pen. A lower power and faster speed typically work best for delicate materials.
3. Can I engrave both text and logos? Yes, LightBurn allows you to import vector files (for logos) and create text designs. Both can be engraved on the pens easily.
4. How long does the engraving process take? The time depends on factors like the complexity of the design and the number of pens. Generally, batch engraving can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
5. Is it possible to engrave on other materials besides pens? Absolutely! The Alpha MK2 Laser Engraver can also be used to engrave on wood, acrylic, leather, and various other materials.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to efficiently laser batch engrave pens using the Alpha MK2 Laser Engraver, ensuring precision and high-quality results. Whether you're engraving a logo, text, or custom designs, this process will help you achieve professional outcomes every time.
