Personalized laser stone engravings are becoming more and more popular in today's society. The thick, hard, wear-resistant, durable, elegant, and luxurious characteristics of stone carvings are unique in the fields of personalized prizes, gifts, decorations, and other fields. There are many kinds of raw materials and rich resources for stone carvings. The texture, color, and texture of many varieties of stone are suitable for laser engraving with good results. Among them, there are 6 most common types of stone:
Slate Stone
It is another natural stone suitable for laser engraving. Compared with marble, the texture of slate is slightly softer and the surface is slightly rougher. However, because slate is derived from sedimentary stone, with fine texture and uniform color, laser engraving products are widely used in wall decoration, floor, and so on.
Marble
In personalized sculptures, marble is the most ideal raw material of choice. The texture of marble is good and the color is solemn. Whether it is dark black, jet black, dark green, rose, or gray and white, it gives people a very elegant beauty. Therefore, based on many traditional products, it has recently developed to engrave photos, images, and texts with laser technology, which is very popular.
Granite
The texture is very hard, wear-resistant, and durable, and is widely used in prizes, souvenirs, and buildings. Granite belongs to the limestone system, its obvious feature is that it has spots, the color gives people the appearance of "salt and pepper", and some also have the texture of marble. Granite can accept a variety of polishing and finishing treatments. Because of the many colors of granite, especially black and white granite is often used for laser engraving on text, images, etc., which is very attractive.
Sandstone
As the name suggests, sand is formed by the natural condensation of fine sand. The color of the sand is produced by the process of washing and grinding the minerals with the hard rock. Since the sandstone is a mixture of various specifications, the texture is relatively soft, and the effect of laser engraving is very good.
Tuff
This type of stone evolved from the slow precipitation of geothermal heat. The carbon dioxide bubbles "holes" produced by the thermal temperature of mineral-rich mineral water have a unique beauty, and the main color is dark brown. Or black. In addition, dark red and dark brown are also common, mostly used for floor and corner decoration.
Inland Pebbles (River Pebbles of River Rock)
River pebbles of river rock have been washed by water for many years at the bottom of the river bed, making them smooth, round, and bright. The ideal type of river rock is a flat, high-gloss black. The river stone laser engraving will gain a place in the fields of corporate gifts, park decoration, and so on.
STJ1325S is mainly used for heavy stone with large format engraving, if your stone is small, we also have STJ9060 and STJ1390 for option:
If you are involved in this industry, it is necessary to learn and master some identification and processing knowledge and techniques to achieve professional-level results. The 1st thing to consider is the texture of the stone. Color and size should also be considered when using laser engraving techniques. Whether the engraving effect is good or not depends on the correct adjustment and control of the power and speed of the laser system. Among them, a common problem is that the motor power is too high during engraving, which is easy to cause a blurred appearance and can not achieve the ideal color. This method is called the direct engraving method, that is, the method of changing the color of the photos, patterns to be engraved are directly projected onto the stone.
Aside from direct engraving, added color may be placed on stone engravings. Penetration of the color is caused mostly by pore penetration by emission and polishing caused by lasers. The most common popular colors of added color for carved stone products are gold, silver, and copper. The product with nice effect, added color is as light as ink writes. After the color has been cast, it's then buffed and polished to create a real showpiece. With a laser engraver to permanently engrave scanned valuable photos and pictures onto the stone, a forever keepsake. It's the quickest-growing sector of the laser engraving market and is gaining ever more widespread acceptance.
Selecting the most suitable laser engraving machine for stone requires taking utmost care with power, precision, and compatibility. With numerous machines available, it is critical to analyze crucial parameters to make your choice efficient and long-lasting. Continue reading for these essential steps to take.
• Determine the Type of Stone: Different stones like granite, marble, slate, and quartz respond differently to laser engraving. Harder stones require higher power from the laser, while softer ones can be engraved using moderate power levels. Find out your material to select the optimum machine.
• Choose the Right Laser Type: 40W-150W CO2 lasers are good for engraving softer stones but not for carving deep. 20W-100W fiber lasers are optimal for metal but poor at deep stone engraving. Diode lasers are not strong enough for application in stones. UV lasers are highly accurate for fine detail but costly. High-power CO2 lasers (100W+) are best for deep and lasting engravings.
• Consider Laser Wattage and Power: For stone engraving, at least an 80W CO2 laser is required, but 100W+ provides more depth and clarity. In case mass production is on the agenda, 150W and above ensures faster operation and deeper cuts.
• Verify Engraving Bed Size: When engraving large stone slabs, use a machine with a larger engraving bed (e.g., 600x900mm or 1300x900mm). For detailed small work, use a smaller laser with a 400x600mm bed.
• Assess Cooling & Ventilation Systems: Engraving stone generates high heat and dust. Lasers that have proper water cooling (chiller system) and proper ventilation (exhaust fans) promote performance and lifespan.
• Evaluate Software Compatibility & Features: Check for compatibility with software like LightBurn, RDWorks, or EZCAD for easy design control. Look for variable power settings, autofocus, and rotary attachments for versatility.
• Balance Budget and After-Sales Support: Equate your budget to the quality. Choose a reliable brand with a warranty, technical support, and spare parts for extended use.
Engraving stone with a laser machine requires precision, but even experienced users can make mistakes that affect the quality of the final result. Here are the most common mistakes to avoid.
Incorrect Laser Power and Speed Settings
Using too much power can burn the stone’s surface, while too little power may result in faint engravings. Always test different power and speed combinations to find the perfect balance for clarity and depth. Adjusting the settings based on the stone’s hardness will help achieve consistent engraving quality.
Not Testing on a Sample Piece
Skipping test runs can lead to errors that ruin expensive materials. Running a test piece helps you fine-tune your settings and avoid costly mistakes on the final engraving. Testing also allows you to check for unwanted surface cracks or imperfections before starting the actual job.
Poor Focus Adjustment
Incorrect focus can lead to blurry or inconsistent engravings. Double-checking the focus before starting ensures sharp and precise engraving, especially for intricate designs. A properly adjusted focus lens enhances the contrast and depth of the engraving, making it more visible and detailed.
Ignoring Material Variations
Different stones react differently to laser engraving. Researching the specific properties of each stone type will help you adjust the laser settings for the best results. Soft stones like marble may require lower power settings, while granite and quartz need higher power for deeper engraving.
Inadequate Cooling and Ventilation
Stone engraving generates heat and dust, which can affect engraving quality and damage the laser lens. A proper exhaust system will help remove debris and extend the lifespan of the machine. Without proper ventilation, dust buildup can obstruct the laser path, leading to inconsistent results.
Using Low-Resolution Designs
Low-quality image files or vector designs with jagged edges can produce poor engravings. Converting images into high-resolution black-and-white formats can enhance engraving precision. Smooth and well-defined vector graphics ensure clean edges and detailed engraving output.
Neglecting Regular Maintenance
Dirty lenses, mirrors, or clogged ventilation systems can reduce efficiency and engraving quality. Inspecting and cleaning the machine regularly will prevent performance issues and ensure consistent results. Regular maintenance also helps prevent overheating and extends the overall lifespan of your laser engraver.
I am a newbie to laser engraving, bought this unit to upgrade classic stone hand engraving business. The STJ1325S engraver was easy to set up right out of the package by following the manual instructions. The RD controller was easy to configure and convenient to use. Some of the projects we have done so far are personalized memorial granite stones, garden memorial stones, memorial plaques for outdoors, cemetery headstones, and grave markers. We have experimented with different markers for stones and this laser engraver seems to etch automatically with most all of them.
I have been interested in laser stone engraving for a long time. Looking forward to using it to make my own personalized decorations or create engravings on all conceivable stones. After a short research I came across the engraving machine from STYLECNC, the properties described here were very appealing, the 4x8 working area is very large in comparison and since the price was also right, I decided on this engraver. Other machines could either do less, did not seem as robust or simply cost a lot more. I have been using this unit for a month, and engraved some cool stone decorations with it. I am pleased with the results so far.
