Interested in Custom Laser Envraving for your cab?
nipsmg:
We currently have, in my house, (for another project my father is working on), an $30,000 laser engraver. This thing can carve both vector and raster graphics into wood, glass (looks like etching/sandblasting), plastic, etc.
My father was looking for other possible applications for it, and I came up with this.. I know a lot of people would like that "personal" touch on their cabs.
The bed is wide.. VERY wide.. I want to say almost 4 feet wide, I may be off either way on that measurement (I'm not home, so I can't measure.. I'll post measurements later), however the front and back door of the engraver open so length of materal to be engraved is not really an issue.. however, LARGE engravings (Like an entire control panel full of designs) won't be done.. It'll take too long and it overkill on the laser.
This isn't definite, I'm just looking to see if there's enough interest to start up something like this.
I'll be checking the thread so just reply with any questions, comments, concerns you have.
Thanks!

hmmm What prices are we talking about here?...Care to show some screenshots of a finished product?
nipsmg:
I'll engrave something and put up a screenshot when I get home.
As far as costs, it hasn't been decided on yet, however, there will be a very minimal charge on top of material costs, unless there's graphical cleanup on any images that'll be required..
If enough people show interest after I put up and example, I'll decide more on if it's actually worth it..

hey, that's a very cool thing.
i think that a good idea for this would be to etch the couple-inch border of a monitor glass! maybe with a few vid characters down/across each edge?
i'd get that if it weren't too pricey =0)
cheers
