I. The Charm of Laser-Cut Christmas Ornaments
(A) Applicability to A Wide Variety of Materials
The laser cutting machine shows strong material applicability in the production of Christmas ornaments. Metal materials, after laser cutting, can be used to make sturdy and durable Christmas hangings with a rich texture, such as golden bells and other decorations, adding a touch of splendor to the festival. As a natural material, wood is especially suitable for making Christmas ornaments with a warm atmosphere. Whether it is a hanging piece made of boxwood or basswood boards used to make three-dimensional models, they can bring people the warm breath of solid wood. Acrylic materials really shine under laser cutting. Colorful acrylic can create a Christmas world full of elegant and vibrant atmosphere, such as fancy snowflakes with a halo, shiny letters hidden in transparent balls, and 3D three-dimensional Christmas fawns. And under the blessing of laser cutting technology, paper also has various decorative postures, such as paper lanterns hanging overhead and paper Christmas trees placed in front of Christmas feasts. In addition, non-woven materials can also be used to make exquisite Christmas handicrafts through laser cutting, which is fast and without burrs.
(B) Fine Cutting Effect
With its high-precision characteristics, laser cutting plays an important role in the production of Christmas ornaments. It can cut out various exquisite patterns and words with delicate lines and an accuracy within millimeters. For example, when making Christmas cards, using laser hollowing technology can achieve ultra-fine cutting and perfectly present any design pattern of the designer without yellowing or blackening. The super laser hollowing machine for greeting cards of Chuangke Laser is different from ordinary laser marking machines. It uses high-quality lasers and is equipped with a larger galvanometer mirror to control the moment of inertia to achieve better and finer beam quality and high-speed scanning effect. The line width can be as fine as 0.2mm, and very fine patterns can be cut and hollowed out. At the same time, laser cutting can also make the edges of ornaments smooth and fluent. For example, the combination of acrylic lamp pieces and basswood pieces in Christmas hangings, under the action of laser cutting, has exquisite installation details and enhances the quality and artistic value of ornaments.
II. Steps for Laser Cutting Christmas Ornaments
(A) Design and Drafting
Before making laser-cut Christmas ornaments, design and drafting are crucial steps. First, we can choose a professional laser modeling software, such as LaserMaker. After downloading and installing it, open the software. Its interface is simple and easy to use. For this work, basswood boards with a thickness of 3mm and transparent acrylic boards are selected as processing materials. In the software, we can use various tools for design, such as the [Rectangle Tool], [Oval Tool], [Round Corner Tool], and [Union] tool. For the patterns on acrylic lamp panels, we can search for our favorite patterns on the Internet, then add the pictures to the software, and use the [Outline Tracing] function in the drawing toolbar to extract the outline. In this way, we can obtain a beautiful pattern and prepare for laser cutting.
(B) Laser Cutting Process
When the design drawing is completed, we can enter the laser cutting process. Combined with the numerical control system, after drawing on the software, the high-energy laser beam can accurately cut out the required patterns or words according to the design drawing. During the cutting process, since laser cutting is a non-contact process and there is no direct contact with Christmas decorations, there will be no mechanical deformation and no molds are needed. For example, when cutting acrylic materials, the brightly colored acrylic can be quickly and accurately cut into various shapes under the action of laser, such as fancy snowflakes with a halo, shiny letters hidden in transparent balls, and 3D three-dimensional Christmas fawns. For wood, laser cutting can also handle it easily. The cut basswood board has a smooth edge and perfectly combines with the acrylic lamp panel. The entire laser cutting process is efficient and accurate, laying a solid foundation for making exquisite Christmas ornaments.
III. Creative Applications of Laser-Cut Christmas Ornaments
(A) Unique Wooden Hanging Ornaments
As people’s environmental awareness increases, Christmas trees are gradually shifting from real trees to reusable plastic trees, but the smell of solid wood is missing. At this time, laser-cut wooden hanging ornaments become an excellent choice. The laser cutting machine can accurately cut various patterns on wooden materials, such as romantic blessings, unique snowflakes, family names, and so on. The laser-cut children’s DIY handmade festival ornament hangers produced by Weijia Handicraft Factory in Tiantai County contain 50 wooden hanging ornaments in a package, randomly mixed. The material is wood, and there are various shapes such as animals. It adds a strong solid wood atmosphere and warmth to the Christmas tree. These wooden hanging ornaments are not only beautiful but also have a unique texture, making the Christmas tree more vivid and interesting.
(B) Colorful Acrylic World
Laser cutting acrylic materials can create a vibrant Christmas world. Under the action of laser, brightly colored acrylic can be cut into various exquisite shapes, such as fancy snowflakes with a halo, shiny letters hidden in transparent balls, and 3D three-dimensional Christmas fawns. The acrylic laser-cut hanging ornaments for Christmas trees printed Christmas decorations DIY craft transparent acrylic hanging ornaments produced by Juyuan Da Plastic Products Factory in Longgang District, Shenzhen City show the unique charm of acrylic materials in Christmas decorations. Laser-cut acrylic ornaments not only have various shapes but also the non-contact process makes them free from mechanical deformation and no molds are needed. The production process is efficient and convenient.
(C) Diverse Postures of Lightweight Paper
With the support of laser cutting technology, lightweight paper has various decorative postures during Christmas. You can make paper lanterns hanging overhead to add a soft light to the Christmas atmosphere; you can also make a small and exquisite paper Christmas tree placed in front of the Christmas feast; you can also make “clothes” wrapped around cupcakes, or a Christmas tree hugging a goblet and a small bell leaning against the rim of the cup. The laser processing of paper products by Shanghai Yirong Laser Technology Co., Ltd. is outstanding in making greeting cards. Laser-processed greeting cards have the advantages of arbitrary shaping, flat cuts, and no burrs. The loss is small and the defect rate is low. At the same time, laser paper cutting processing can process any complex graphics with less waste and high utilization efficiency. The patterns are delicate and beautiful. Laser processing of paper products is also applied in personalized production of handicraft companies, binding of title pages of graphic texts, and personalized business card production and other fields, providing more creative choices for Christmas decorations.
IV. Future Prospects of Laser-Cut Christmas Ornaments
