Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms
[1] |
Specular Specular refers to the quality of reflection from a surface, characterized by its ability to reflect light in a specific direction without scattering or diffusing. In laser engraving, specular surfaces exhibit a glossy or mirror-like appearance and can present challenges for achieving optimal engraving contrast and visibility. Laser beams incident on specular surfaces may be reflected away from the engraving area, resulting in incomplete or faint markings.
Specialized engraving techniques, such as defocusing the laser beam or using surface treatments to reduce reflectivity, can help improve engraving contrast and visibility on specular surfaces. Understanding the specular properties of materials is essential for optimizing engraving parameters and achieving desired outcomes in laser engraving applications. |
