Gepoederde Inlays (De Metaalmethode)

Move beyond simple engraving. Powder-fused inlays allow you to embed metallic, iridescent, or high-contrast colors directly into wood or stone using specialized powders that fuse under the heat of the laser beam.

Key Points

  • →Material Choice: Closed-grain woods (Maple, Cherry) prevent powder from bleeding into surrounding fibers.
  • →Fusion Temperature: Diodes must move slow enough to melt the powder but fast enough not to ignite the base material.

Procedure

  1. 1
    Engrave a deep pocket (approx 0.5mm - 1.0mm) in your base material.
  2. 2
    Fill the channel with inlay powder. Use a straight edge to level the surface.
  3. 3
    Run a second pass at 20% power, 500mm/min to fuse the powder into a solid mass.

Safety Checklist

  • →Do not use powders containing lead or cadmium. Use only laser-safe inlay materials.
