LONGER Research: Introduction to Color Engraving on Stainless Steel with Nano Pro 12W

The technology behind color laser engraving varies by material but primarily relies on two core methods: first, the natural generation of color through oxidation reactions; second, the use of coloring agents to achieve the desired color effects. This research is about how to use Longer Nano Pro 12W to engraving color laser.

Principle of Laser Color Engraving
For color laser engraving on stainless steel, the techniques are mainly divided into two categories: the first involves the laser beam instantaneously heating the metal surface, triggering physical or chemical reactions that alter the surface color. The second involves the formation of colored oxides on the metal surface or the generation of a transparent, colorless oxide layer, which displays various colors through thin-film interference effects. By precisely adjusting key parameters such as laser power, engraving speed, spacing, and the number of passes, users can effectively control the reaction depth on the metal surface, achieving a variety of color effects to meet different processing needs.

Engraving Parameters for Color Engraving on Stainless Steel
How to Use Nano Pro to Test Parameters for Different Colors on Stainless Steel? This color engraving parameter guide is based on the LONGER Nano Pro model, using stainless steel as the metal material.

Engraving Parameters for Color engraving on Stainless Steel

With the "Material Test" function in LightBurn software, the preparation process for engraving parameter test files is significantly simplified. Users can enter relevant parameter ranges in the "Material Test Generator" to automatically generate test files. Key parameters include Power, Speed, Interval, and Passes; these combinations directly affect the resulting colors after engraving. By setting appropriate parameter ranges based on the specific dimensions of the material, users can generate the corresponding engraving test files.

The operation process is illustrated as follows: first, launch the LightBurn software, import the configuration file, select the correct COM port, and load the Nano Pro machine configuration. When the console displays "Nano Pro connected successfully," click "Laser Tools" in the toolbar to continue.

Lightburn dashboard

In the second step, as shown in the image, after clicking "Laser Tools" in the toolbar, select the "Material Test" function. The system will pop up the matrix parameter settings interface. Here, users can set the required matrix parameters for testing. For the Nano Pro model, the recommended parameter range is Power 50% to 100%, Speed 1000 mm/min to 3000 mm/min, using an 11x11 matrix layout. Ensure all parameters are set correctly, then click "Start" to initiate the engraving test.

After the engraving test is complete, the system will generate a colorful matrix (as shown in the image). Users can select their desired color from the matrix and find the corresponding laser power and speed. The horizontal axis of the matrix represents the power parameters, while the vertical axis represents the speed parameters, allowing users to easily determine the required engraving settings by matching coordinate positions.

How to Create Colorful Engravings
Open LightBurn software, click File -> Import to import the layered image file into LightBurn, and then connect to the Nano Pro machine.

Precautions for Nano Pro Color Engraving on Stainless Steel
Minimum Power
It is crucial to note that when engraving stainless steel, the power must be maintained at over 50%. Power below 50% may result in colors that are too faint, with the engraving primarily yielding a single yellow color. The engraving effect is closely related to laser power, making precise adjustment essential for achieving the ideal color.

Minimum Thickness and Surface Finish of Stainless Steel
During the engraving process, overly thin stainless steel plates may deform due to heat accumulation. It is recommended to choose stainless steel plates with a thickness of at least 2 mm. Additionally, for surface treatment, it is advisable to use matte or brushed stainless steel for better engraving results. Industrial-grade stainless steel plates or mirror-finished stainless steel are not recommended, as these materials may not perform optimally in laser engraving.

Ensure Engraving is Level
When using the recommended engraving parameters, ensure the laser is accurately focused and that the Nano Pro device is placed level. If the focus height is incorrect, it will directly impact the uniformity and accuracy of the engraving colors. Therefore, it is essential to calibrate the focus height before each operation to ensure the best engraving results.

This article will trace the evolution of laser engraving machines, from the initial large-scale industrial equipment to today's personal equipment, and explore its development and application at different stages.

Industrial application era

In its infancy, laser engraving technology found its primary application in industrial settings. These early incarnations of laser engraving machines were typically large-scale, boasting formidable power and exceptional precision. As such, they found widespread use in industries such as metal processing, automotive manufacturing, and electronic equipment production. However, their adoption was hindered by significant barriers, including the substantial investments required for procurement and the need for skilled technical teams to operate and maintain them. These factors combined to restrict their utilization to a relatively narrow range of applications, thereby limiting their potential impact across industries.

Miniaturization trend

With the continuous development of technology and the gradual reduction of costs, laser engraving technology has begun to develop in the direction of miniaturization. More and more manufacturers have launched small laser engraving machines, making this technology gradually enter the homes and studios of ordinary consumers. These small devices are usually more affordable, smaller in size, and easier to operate, providing new possibilities for personal creative production. The emergence of devices like the Longer Nano portable laser engraving machine exemplifies this trend, offering lightweight, user-friendly tools tailored to personal creative endeavors. The Longer Nano portable laser engraving machine is a lightweight, user-friendly personal creative tool, make it a great choice for beginners entering the world of laser engraving.

The rise of personal manufacturing

With the rise of the personal manufacturing movement, laser engraving machines have gained further popularity as an important tool. More and more artists, designers, production enthusiasts and educational institutions are starting to use laser engraving machines to realize their creative ideas. These personal devices often have a good user interface and operating experience, and can meet a variety of creative needs, ranging from simple woodworking products to complex works of art.

Driven by community and open source spirit

In addition to personal devices launched by commercial manufacturers, the open source community is also promoting the popularization and development of laser engraving technology. More and more open source projects and communities are sharing the design drawings, control software and technical information of laser engraving machines, allowing more people to make their own laser engraving machines or customize more powerful equipment. This open community and open source spirit provides new impetus and possibilities for the innovation and development of laser engraving technology.
