Etching/cutting Thin aluminum, Laser Etching Question
Good Morning, all!
Reaching out the best way I know how. Reddit.
I have an Idea to make some Card game holders. I have some pictures of a product from a company I adore, they seem to be out of business, and I am reverse-engineering how to make them.
My questions are:
How do I cut the metal to create the top frame? Is it laser cut, or maybe I need to contact a local CNC location to cut blanks?
What would you recommend for the type of Laser I would need to etch the back piece? I am seeing a lot of info that aluminum is hard to etch and a strong laser is needed because of the
reflection of the metal. The metal is super thin and doesn't feel like steel (from what I can tell)
Thanks for any comments or information to help me in a direction.
