About Laser Cut Keychains
Laser cutting is one of the most widely used techniques for manufacturing parts today and has been used for many years. Given the range of materials available and its usually cheap price, laser cutting is in many cases the most affordable alternative.
On the other hand, it is increasingly common to manufacture merchandising or promotional gifts tailored to our business. It is here where laser cutting can be a great alternative to produce series of highly variable lengths of personalized key chains, adapted to our aesthetic tastes and our budget.
What are the advantages of laser cutting?
We have already talked about laser cutting in several previous articles but, to put it in context, we will explain concisely and simply how laser cutting works. In this way you will be able to understand the pros and cons of this technology and have a more critical outlook on it.
How does laser cutting work?
Laser cutting is as simple as it sounds. We use a laser with adjustable power and focus point to cut or engrave a surface, and we can do both at the same time.
since we can vary both the power and the focal length of the laser, we can vary the cutting depth, thus being able to cut very different materials. If we simply want to make engravings on a part, the list of materials is even longer.
What materials can be cut with laser cutting?
Depending on what machine is used, you can cut virtually any material, from paper to sheet metal. In Nanhimart we have specialized in a select list of materials that we know we can work on with the highest quality:
1. Wood
Wood is one of the quintessential materials for laser cutting. We can use it to make an enormous variety of parts. In this case, as we can choose from many different types of wood, we can select the one that best suits the aesthetics we are looking for in our key chains.
In addition, the key chains made of wood will be very resistant and quite robust. Finally, wood (and especially fine woods) is a material that, nowadays, is associated with luxury products. That is why if you decide to make your key chains in wood you will get some very premium parts that will convey a very good feeling when held.
2. Cardboard
Cardboard may not be the first choice when you think of key chains, but it can be a good option if you want to make a lot of them for a very low price to distribute them massively at some event. In addition, the cardboard used can be quite thick and resistant, so don’t think that they will break at first use
How much does it cost to make laser-cut key chains?
As we have already told you, you can use laser cutting to make your key chain series with a high level of personalization and a reduced cost compared to other technologies such as machining. In Nanhimart we are experts in laser cutting, being one of the technologies that we use the most.
Calculating the price is not a direct task, since it depends on many factors: size of the key chain, complexity, material, need or not of assistance in the design or rasterization.
