Description:

LazerMask™ is a non-PVC sandcarving film that won’t corrode your laser’s hardware. With LazerMask™ you can utilize the accuracy and precision of a laser engraver to reproduce images into glass, crystal, and stone while retaining the beauty and depth of traditional sandcarving.

Requirements:

To use LazerMask™ sandcarving film, you need a laser engraver and a sandcarving system similar to our 1924 or 2034VX production models. (Visit www.rayzist.com for more information on sandcarving units).

Durability:

LazerMask™ has blast resilient properties equal to Rayzist’s photoresist films.

Shelf Life:

Non-Applicable. Store at room temperature. No special handling required.

Productivity:

LazerMask™ eliminates the steps of a traditional photomask. Just apply, laser, and sandcarve; a major benefit for small production runs. Blast high resolution designs quickly and easily saving time in application, burn time and clean up.

Material Chosen and Why:

LazerMask™ is a non-PVC sandcarving film offering a fast burn, great detail, durability, with a fast and easy clean up... without the need for sticky, hard to use vinyls or tapes.

To Use:

1. Apply LazerMask™ to the flat surface of the item beginning at one end burnishing flat with a plastic squeegee to the opposite end(similar to applying vinyl) to avoid trapped air.
2. Remove the Clear Carrier Film.
3. Laser the image.
4. Sandcarve the item.
5. Paint fill (if desired) while the mask is still on.

Laser Guidelines:

Wattage and resolution settings will effect laser burning times, results may vary.

Low wattage Lasers - 25-35 watt 45-65% Speed x 100% Power

Recommended Supplies:

Plastic burnisher: a hand-held, plastic tool used to bind the photomask to the substrate surface and remove the clear carrier sheet from photomask. To use, sweep the burnisher over the applied photomask while applying gentle pressure.
