laser engraving ipod with CO2 laser

video laser engraving ipod with CO2 laser
this shows how you can engrave an ipod with an individual laser engraving / etching.
you design your file on any PC or MAC program, then process this graphic to the laser and the result is a permanent mark on the ipod.

the CO2 laser engraves the anodized aluminum and vaporizes the color. so you get a very crisp result.

design is up the the individual taste...

takes only a couple of minutes.

was done on a troteclaser, model called SP300.

My friend got her ipod stolen; the thief scratched out her name and put in their own and the school let them get away with it. I'd like to see them get away with stealing this!

I'm not sure what type of laser my school has but we have a Laser Engraver that creates Radiation. From what I see you don't have a protective cover?
