hi all. I'm from the laser geeks. We manufacture fashion accessories using the laser engraver to engrave intricate designs. We would like to be able to create 3D carvings of florals, animals, text, artwork, onto various substrates. Materials used would mostly be wood, MDF, Acrylic, Shells. But mostly wood.
Size of the materials is normally between 2square inches to 4 square inches.
I have been reading lately about shopbots, carvewright and the shark etc.
I am wondering, for the 3d carvings that we need, if a CNC is the answer. And if so, what would be your recommendations as to the type and brand considering our needs and the size of materials that we work with.
