Today, I will explain how to make a light frame using a UV printer and laser cutting machine.

I. When laser cutting is added to the UV Printer _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter

 

1. Items that can be made with just a UV printer _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter

When purchasing a UV printer, white color is a must, and the white must be at least 200% denser than the color.

Including varnish allows for a variety of applications.

The following items can be created using a UV printer alone:

 

Items that can be created using color alone

Items that can be made only if Color has White

 

Items that can be made with Color + White + Varnish

2. With the addition of laser cutting equipment _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter

You can now create a variety of items, such as cell phone grip toks, keychains, and acrylic picture frames.

By adding a laser cutting device to your UV printer, you can now handle tasks previously delegated to post-processing companies yourself,

• shortening production times
• and reducing logistics costs associated with sending UV printing to a post-processing company and returning it to you.
• And now, you can freely create the items you envision.

 

II. Making an Acrylic Light Frame _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter

 

1. Light Frame Description _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter

 

The product above was completed with laser engraving, laser cutting, UV printing, and LED lighting.

 

Laser Engraving

When laser engraving is performed on acrylic and illuminated from below, only the engraved area is illuminated by scattering light.

To highlight the image printed with a UV printer, the outer edges of the photo print were engraved.

The word “Workshop” was also engraved, not UV printed, and illuminated with lighting.

 

Laser Cutting
A stand was created to hold the acrylic piece in place, and laser cutting was used for this.

A rectangular box was created to house the LED lights in the stand, and laser cutting was also used for this.

 

UV Printing

The center photo shows UV printing in white.

 

2. Production process _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter

 

Making a Light Stand

After laser cutting the piece according to the cutting file, I assembled it to insert the LED light and create a stand to hold the printed image.

 

Border and Lettering Engraving

The border, where the letters and UV printing will be applied, was engraved.

You can also see the production process through the video below.

III. Considerations Before Buying a Laser Cutting Machine _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter  

1. Whether the camera is cut _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter 

If you’re considering purchasing a laser cutter, you should definitely choose one with a camera.

If you manually adjust the starting point without a camera, the starting point will be fine, but the further away you move from the starting point, the more cutting errors will occur.

This is what actual users say.

 

2. Limitations of the imprint function _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter 

 

Chinese-made equipment with a belt-type Y-axis often exhibits gaps during engraving due to mechanical errors.

I don’t recommend purchasing Chinese-made laser cutting equipment for dual purposes, such as “cutting and occasionally engraving.”

Instead, it’s better to purchase a separate, less expensive laser engraving machine.

 

3. Can laser engraving make money? _Making a light frame with a UV printer and laser cutter 

If you’re using acrylic engraving to make things like lighting, it doesn’t seem like it’d be very profitable.

However, engraving names and personal records on marathon finisher medals seems to be profitable if done on-site, as the line is about 50 meters long.

Considering that larger sizes require longer engraving times, if you find the right item, engraving could also be profitable.

 

III. This is how ARTJET supports our customers.

One thing I feel while selling and maintaining ARTJET UV Printers for 5 years is that the next most important thing after product stability is Troubleshooting DATA.

All products have problems, whether they are actual equipment problems or consumer errors, and product stability is how easily and quickly you solve those problems.

We are organizing all the troubleshooting DATA as follows.
