Aluminum front panel for a model train.

/in /by

An enthusiastic model builder came in with the question whether we could make a front plate for a control panel. He had drawn up a schematic representation of his self-built train track, including locations and dimensions for the buttons and switches.

We milled the lines and then wrapped them in black lacquer. In addition, all round and square holes have been milled out with great accuracy so that the knobs and switches fit exactly.

The question of whether he wanted to mail photos of the end result was answered with an enthusiast “Yes of course!”.

Laser engraving of luminescent book.

This light book was a gift for someone who turned 50 years old. It is a wooden light book, also known as ‘Book lamp’. When you open the book, light shines through the pages which if you put it open results in a beautiful lamp.

To personalize the gift, the question was whether we could put an engraving on it. The customer showed a photo of the man, who was photographed in a modern ’50’. We have converted the photo to clean lines so that it could be engraved in the book.

We had chosen to burn the image in the wooden book with our CO2 laser. The laser gives an extremely fine and accurate engraving, which is clearly visible on the photo.
