Processing quality

DGSHAPE DE-3 is a desktop-sized rotary engraver that performs like a professional engraving machine. It can engrave and scribe items with a software resolution of 0.004” (0.01 mm) /step and a mechanical resolution of 0.00125 mm/step. The advanced laser-point technology makes for precision engraving. Also, the additional nose cones reduce the risk of scratches delivering consistently accurate results.

The DE-3 relies on a 20,000 rpm DC brushless spindle motor and a 3-axis stepper motor. It can reach an operating speed of up to 60 mm/sec.

 

Materials

The DGSHAPE DE-3 can process brass, aluminum, copper, plastic, wood, glass, acrylic, and other materials.

The rotary engraver supports a maximum material thickness of 40 mm. When using the nose cone, the maximum thickness drops down to 38 mm.

 

Operating volume

The work area is 12 x 9.1 x 1.6 inch (305 x 230 x 40 mm). The company provides an optional center vise capable of holding products of up to 5.9 x 5.8 x 1.3 inch (150 x 147 x 33 mm).

 

Engraver controls

The rotary engraver ships with a handy panel control for quick operation. It allows handling a variety of machine options including spindle speed and cleaning.

You can comfortably send the job data from your computer to the controller and store them inside it. In this way, it enables standalone engraving. The device is also equipped with Ethernet and USB connectivity.

The open-source technology makes the DGSHAPE DE-3 compatible with almost any engraving software, standard tool, and media. Ready to operate out-of-the-box, the engraver comes integrated with Dr. Engrave Plus software.
