DESIGNER
INTRODUCTION
 Features of CO2 Laser Engraving Machine
• 1390 series laser engraving machines adopt
DSP digital controlling technology, self-design
laser power supply, incorporate designed
frame and structure to guarantee stable work.
• The newest software is matched to AutoCAD,
CorelDraw CAD and all other graphics
processing softwares for outputting original
graphics.
• This laser engraving machine firstly uses USB
port data interface which support hot-
plugging and momentary data transmission
BW-1390 Laser Engraving Machine
to realize high efficiency without accounting
computer resource.
• The LCD controlling panel brings friendly
computer-human interface and easy
operation

CURRENT STATE OF TECHNOLOGY

High-powered, costly to build.
Weak, time-consuming.

BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Microcontroller-based Laser Engraver with Printed Circuit Board Designer
How to design and develop a MCU-
Based Laser Engraving System with
Printed Circuit Board Designer?

GENERAL PROBLEM
 How to lessen time spent in creating a design?
 How to develop designs that are more précised and of high quality?
 How to achieve consistency during the engraving process?

SPECIFIC PROBLEMS
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
Microcontroller-based Laser Engraver with Printed Circuit Board Designer
To design and develop a MCU-Based
Laser Engraving System with Printed
Circuit Board Designer.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE
 To lessen time spent in creating a design.
 To develop designs that are more précised and of high quality.
 To achieve consistency during engraving process.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
SCOPE AND LIMITATION

Indicators

SCOPE
Engraver and Platform

SCOPE
Robotic Arm and Backup Battery

SCOPE
Sensor

SCOPE
 Limited materials where the design can be engraved.
 The engraving process is taking too long to finish.
 The machine has manual operation.
 Difficulty in changing the laser in case of emergency.
 The sensor under the platform cannot detect if the material on the
platform is the appropriate one.
 Once the engraving process is interrupted, the whole process will start
over again.
