Delrin is a
trade name for
the Polyacetal
(POM) family of
materials. This
is a commonly
used material
and is well
suited for CO2
laser engraving.
No color change
is achieved with
the laser
however it does
allow for a very
high quality
engraved look.
Delrin is
commonly used
for embossing
seals such as a
Notary Public
would use. The
file to be
engraved can be
produced to make
both the
positive and
negative portion
of the embossing
die. Lasers are
ideal for this
due to the high
precision of the
cut.
Of great
importance is
the exhaust
requirements
when doing
embossing dies
with the laser.
A lot of
material is
removed and
removing the
dust becomes an
issue. Trotec
recommends that
the end user
consult with a
dust/fume
removal expert
to determine the
exhaust
requirements to
remove this
material.
