Wood is a natural raw material that exists in a large variety of types, thicknesses and patterns and is usable in many aspects of life both in the industry and in the private sector. As a material, the solid wood is hard, insulated, heat-resistant and durable and have good mechanical properties for a various uses. Wood is characterized as a warm, pleasant to touch material, with a unique...

Laser cutting is a technology that enables the cutting of products and parts in a two-dimensional way based on a drawing file, made of flat sheets with the ability of cutting complex shapes in a variety of sizes. The maximum working area is 250X130 cm.  Laser cutting has no chips and the reduction in raw material is relatively low compared to other mechanical C.N.C processing....

Line types - laser cutting process ignores the thickness of the drawing line because the line represents the path that the laser beam should pass between two points. Special lines (for example, a dotted line) must be transformed into an object (actually a number of objects) in order not to be interpreted as a continuous line.  The thickness of the raw materials may be high or low...

Many industrial designers today turn more frequently to use the laser cutting technology on their way to developing new products and are deciding to manufacture new products using this technology.In many cases the importance of the appearance or uniqueness of the product are key factors that encourage the use of this technology. Laser cutting is a new way to help designers express their intentions...

Many things can be designed using a three-dimensional modeling software which is used by quite a few designers, architects and students in the field of designing. A three-dimensional software is required to help design structures in full detail and full scale. the software has the ability to transform virtual models into realistic images. In the framework of architectural studies, the demand...

The development of the coffee-carrier began as a thought exercise, at the bottom of which was the question, "Can the existing coffee cups carrier be improved?" The initial focus was on improving the stability and safety needed to carry hot drinks, but the new concept brought with it two other equally significant advantages: increasing the carrying capacity from 2 to 3 cups and lowering...

Artistic engraving on woodArtistic wood engraving is a field of art that uses an handicraft technique and an hot burning tool to preform artistic drawing on the wood (also called pyrography - from Greek, fire writing). The process includes drawing on various raw materials and different wood types, burn them in high heat using a manual tools which act like drawing tool. The burn drawing is...

The world of textiles is a wide world that includes a variety of products for different fields that combine different textile sheets, sometimes in addition to other materials such as metal, wood and plastic. Textile definition is any fabric sheet woven from synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon or Kevlar) or natural fibers such as cotton, linen and silk.Textile sheets are manufactured in many...

What is acrylic glass (Perspex)?Acrylic glass, also known as PMMA, is a plastic material (synthetic polymer), widely used both for industry and for domestic use. The scientific name of acrylic glass is methacrylate-polymethyl.Acrylic can be found in a wide range of products and in a vast range of fields such as: The furniture industry, aviation (the windows of the airplane and cockpit), in...

Laser EngravingLaser Engraving is a process in which the Laser beam hits and mark the surface of the material and actually erodes or evaporates a layer of material according to a designed graphic file, which defines the areas to be engraved by objects and enclosed areas, usually in full color. In this way, it is possible to engrave in a vector form, that is, along lines that appear in...

At Lasercut4 we cut a wide variety of papers, some printed papers and some papers in special finishes with varying texture. We use a Xerox digital printing machine which can print up to A3+ paper size (dimensions 488 mm by 330 mm) and the ability to print on a page up to 300 gram thickness.In many cases it is necessary to perform cutting of a printed paper, a process consisting of two...

Topographic modelA topographic model is a modle built of layers of material that are attached to each other and create a three-dimensional object. These layers are actually simulate the topographic lines that we know from topographical maps.In this type of work, proper planning of the files and selection of the appropriate raw materials will result in savings of time and money. It is...

What is a Barcode number?Barcode number is a type of markup (code lines) used for labeling, cataloging and quick scanning of products or raw materials. Barcode printing is done in an exposed area on the product / part of which can be read with an optical scanner at a reasonable distance. The method was developed to enable rapid detection in locations where identification time is a critical...
