3d Engraving Machine

Who has a 3D pantograph engraving machine that and reproduce a 10 inch carving I have to postage stamp size?

I am making a 10 inch high bas-relief sculpture of a Thai monk and would like to reproduce in a smaller size as an amulet. I would like to find a place that has a machine that can do this for me.

This kind of place has got exist because every coin and medal made these days was sculpted as a 6-10" piece and reduced to make the dies that stamp it out. But where to find the services and can it be done as a positive one-off? The process of making coins is called coining and an internet search might find one within a reasonable distance of you.
These days, a modern method would be to do a 3D scan and then CNC machining on a reduced scale. The question here would be the fineness of the engraving - which is out beyond the edges of my knowledge. Look up 3D Scanning Services and CNC machining near your town and talk to them, always asking a place that can't help you if they can suggest where to look further.
There is a whole portion of industry that produces prototypes by machining plastic or "3D printing", but most of these require a 3D CADD file to work from. The places that do 3D scanning for producing CADD files are much rarer. Again Internet search near your area.
You don't say if this is a one off or production. If it is a one off, it is likely to cost several hundred dollars once you have paid for all the services.

Essential Equipment That Your Laser Machining Company Should Have

In order to perform satisfactory Laser Machining the company you should go for should have proper test and measure equipment. This is because accuracy is very important when it comes to this task and without the proper equipment accuracy cannot be achieved. Not to forget, having a highly qualified team of professionals to conduct the job.

There are a number of machines and operating systems that are essential to conduct proper testing and measurement. The automated optical inspection system is one of the most important of these equipments. Ideally the company you go for should have at least to of these systems. On the other hand this should be complimented by at least twice the number of standard optical operating systems.

Another device that is essential to conduct the process of Laser Machining is a barcode and ID Matrix code reader. In order to make the job easier this code reader should have grading capability. Eddy Current is yet another vital element required for conducting this process.

The scanning electronic microscope is also a very useful piece of equipment. It is particularly beneficial in the control and contract R&D for 3D laser matching, welding and annealing applications.

Equally important is the profilometer. This device has a 0.4um vertical resolution. It is extremely effective in terms of allowing measuring of the depth of marking and engravings. It also performs surface analysis to ANSI standards.

It is important to understand how optical operating systems work. Basically they have XY stages with 12 x 12 of travel and 1um resolution encoders. They also offer up to 500x of optical magnification. The measurement data that is acquired out of the process is recorded in digital formal for real time SPC. In order to successfully be able to conduct this job the service provider needs to have Z-scope.

Cognex is another vital element for conducting testing and measurement. This is basically a marking verification system that is used for the purpose of verifying and assessing the quality of the laser marked in 1D and 2D codes. It is also used to asses the OCR fonts to ANSI standards and hence plays a very important role in effectively conducting Laser Machining.

Depending on the nature of your business you may stand in need of advanced automatic optical inspection system. This system has XY stages that are relatively larger at 18 x 24” of travel, 0.1 um resolution encoders. The automatic inspection process greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of the final product inspection. It does this by successfully eliminating operator errors at all levels. At the same time it substantially decreases inspection time. This ensures the SPC in multi-product environment.

A Laser Machining company with the above mentioned qualities will be successfully able to provide you a host of different associated services including but not limited to coating removal and hole drilling.
