So I went today and I purchased a very, very (not being sarcastic) piece of equipment today. What does this mean for Acid Splash Designs? It means I will be branching out into other realms of etching. Not only will I still over the acid etching but I will now have the ability to etch ANY type of metal. I can etch gun barrels, metal pictures, key chains, iPads...pretty much anything that is metal. What is even cooler is that it has no human error in it. Perfect every time as long as I measure correctly. I can put an actual portrait of anything I want on any type of metal I want. I could put a picture of your balls on a pedal for you! The software is a breeze to use too.
I will now be able to produce over a hundred pedals in a day if I wanted. No issues.
Pics of a test enclosure. Now this one was not measured correctly obviously because it does not reach the edges, but you get the idea. It will look much better if I use a powder coated or pre-painted enclosure.
This is the enclosure after the etch.
This is the image after I added red to it (super easy to do)
This is the image after I added some black (not as clean because I was too excited to care)
There are some limitations obviously but not many. The depth of the etch is not the same. It's much shallower, but I can make it deeper by simply re-running the machine over the enclosure again.
That's about the only down fall. LOL
What do you guys think?
Prices: Ok guys this is not an easy one, but I want to streamline things and this a good way to do that.
