Discover Taumac's 3D technology and how it is used in laser machines. Learn about its benefits and how it can overcome some of the limitations of traditional laser marking or engraving.
What Is 3D Technology and How Does It Work?
3D technology is a recent technique that has become indispensable in the field of laser applications, and according to Taumac, it solves all the problems that a standard laser cannot address.
How does it do this? Thanks to its constant output power, which adapts to any angle. This is precisely why 3D technology for laser marking and engraving is used in Taumac machines to process any material: metals, glass, wood, or plastics.
The advantages of this application lie in the extreme flexibility and adaptability of the laser head integrated with the Taumac 3D software, which allows operators to work directly from the machine’s built-in PC to calculate the curvature of the workpiece and then proceed with marking and engraving.
The most commonly used laser source is the fiber laser, which concentrates a stable light beam onto a very small spot to engrave and mark the material uniformly.
The 3D head moves along the Cartesian X, Y, and Z axes; it can tilt and rotate, allowing the machine to produce precise, detailed, high-quality shapes.
The main advantages for those seeking a solution for working on irregular shapes are:
-
extreme flexibility and adaptability
-
ease of use
-
speed of execution
-
Intuitive Taumac 3D software
-
no deformation of the machined part

Taumac 3D Software
Our experience in the field of laser automation has helped us find solutions for every type of need.
That’s why, over the past 5 years, we’ve built a team of technicians capable of developing user-friendly and versatile software that supports both 3D and 2.5D machining. The softwareis customizable to meet customer needs, such as the ability to monitor operations remotely and view reports on completed jobs.
In the case of 3D laser marking, a laser head is installed that allows the laser to follow the subject’s profile while remaining constantly in focus.
Who needs the Taumac 3D Head?
Taumac 3D engraving or marking can be used for a wide range of applications. Graphic elements such as logos, codes, decorative patterns, or text can be applied with extreme ease wherever you wish, without causing any deformation or wear to the workpiece.
Here’s an example. This technique is highly valued by glassworkers who need to create satin finishes quickly and without the risk of damaging the object.
In this case, using a 3D head with a UV laser is the perfect combination, ensuring gentle processing with a striking result. Customizing glasses, for example, is a highly sought-after trend—an added value for the end customer.
