Specialized company in 2D and 3D laser engraving, and in laser and tig welding.
Laser engraving is an innovative technique that has revolutionized the jewelry industry. This technology allows complex, custom designs to be engraved on punches and die parts with unprecedented precision and efficiency.
Punch and die piece
On the one hand, the punch is especially useful for marking jewelry with hallmarks or company logos. This element is used to stamp the design that is engraved on the jewelry. In the jewelry field these punches are very small. Some are thinner than a screwdriver tip, which makes engraving on said piece difficult. In these cases, laser engraving is ideal, since its micrometric precision allows engravings to be made with a height of tenths of a millimeter, resulting in a clear and legible seal (although with a magnifying glass due to its small size). On the other hand, the matrix piece is essential in the jewelry casting process. It is used as a model to create the figure of the jewel in the plaster mold (although it can also be made of silicone, castable resin, or some material that withstands the high temperatures of casting) which is then filled with liquid metal (gold , silver, etc.) to form the jewel. Many of the pieces include designs that have very small engravings and some in curved areas of the piece. Some of these may be logos, type of material or some complex figure. Their location on the jewel makes it difficult for them to be stamped with a punch after manufacturing without it becoming damaged. The most practical thing is to make the engraving on the matrix piece so that said engraving is reproduced in the mold and transferred to the resulting piece. Again, laser engraving is the ideal technique due to its precision for making very small engravings, with all the details, and areas that are difficult to access. In addition, using software you can engrave curved areas.
Advantages of laser engraving in jewelry
Precision
Thanks to the high concentration of energy (power) in a very small surface (up to 0.02 mm) it is possible to make very small and detailed engravings, even on very delicate jewelry, and reach areas that are difficult to access. Furthermore, the possibility of selecting pulse frequencies and their length allows the engraving to be adjusted depending on the material and the desired quality.
Versatility
First, because it allows you to create a huge diversity of designs, from letters and numbers to personalized logos and decorative patterns. This adds a unique and distinctive touch to each piece, adapting to the preferences and style of each client. Second, because it adapts to a wide variety of materials used in jewelry, from precious metals such as gold and silver, to precious stones and synthetic materials. Third, because it allows customization, creating unique pieces adapted to individual preferences.
Efficiency
Laser technology allows for fast and precise engraving, speeding up production without compromising quality. Furthermore, since it is a light beam, there is no physical contact, so there is no possibility of damaging the piece during engraving due to a breakage of the contact tool.
Durability
This applies more to markings, that is, to engravings without depth, such as drawings on the back of a watch, or on a medallion, or the reproduction of photos on commemorative plaques, etc. These markings are permanent and resistant to wear, abrasion and corrosion. They are not erased. Which ensures that custom designs remain visible and attractive over time.
