The EGX-400 make it fast and easy to engrave or scribe a wide variety of materials. Virtual MODELA4 enables simulation of finished shapes for previewing on your computer screen before beginning production.
MODELA Player CAM software reads DXF and STL files created with popular 3D CAD programs. 3D Engrave allows you to produce 3D reliefs. Engrave is compatible with Windows® 95/98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP.
The software quickly and easily imports data and places columns of information into pre-defined text boxes to produce corporate nametags for an entire door-numbering project.
Engrave uses TrueType fonts and includes an automatic layout function for importing Excel and CSV database files for fast engraving of product serial numbers and nametags. It makes production-line engraving easy.ĭr. If you really want to kick your production into high gear, connect multiple EGX PROs together with Roland’s sequence I/O controller. The commands can be saved in the built-in memory or on the removable MMC memory card. A separate teaching feature allows you to send operating commands directly from the control panel to the machine, also without using a PC. Simply use a removable MMC memory card to store programmed files and then insert it directly into the EGX for engraving. The EGX-400 don’t even need a desktop or laptop computer. Both can engrave a wide variety of materials, including wood, urethane foam, plastic, acrylic, and light metals such as brass and aluminum. The Roland EGX-400 both have a maximum engraving speed of 100 mm/second and a maximum spindle speed of 30,000 rpm. Servo motors generate plenty of torque for smooth, fast engraving while FFP “look ahead” technology anticipates tool path for greater accuracy and energy efficiency. Roland High Speed Engraving (HSE) owes its amazing speed and quality to both servo motors and Feed Forward Processing (FFP). This opens the market, letting Françoise create message soaps as unique wedding favours and gifts.Home > engraving machines > roland > Roland EGX-400 Since the cost and lead time of creating embossing stamps have been dramatically lowered, Say it with Soap are now able to quickly make soaps in batches as small as 20 bars. With this flexible solution in place, Say it with Soap can turn around products in no time, meeting trends like 'You only live once' and newsworthy phrases like 'Je suis Charlie'. The Roland EngraveStudio software installed on the machine is very user-friendly and contains many different fonts, which allows us to see what works best on a bar of soap and then to produce small batches quickly." "The font is very important to the message – one font works better on a bar of soap than another. Now we can experiment ourselves and create examples for our customers. "In the past, we asked the soap manufacturer or third parties to make the impression stamps, but it was expensive and very limited in terms of creativity.
Better still, the investment has generated an impressive return. Now we can experiment ourselves and create examples for our customers."Īccording to Françoise, her Roland EGX-350 has given her much more freedom to design the perfect personalised soaps. “In the past, trying things out was tricky. Once she has chosen the perfect font for each message, she uses her EGX-350 to engrave an embossing stamp from plexiglass which she then uses to press her design onto the soap while it is still hot and malleable. You can find their personalised bars of soap in Alsace in Eastern France, tourist shops in Scotland and even at family events like weddings.įrançoise uses a Roland EGX-350 digital engraving machine to create these message soaps. With her husband Pierre Marécaux, she runs a shop selling soaps decorated with messages like 'I love you' and 'You're the sweetest' to tourists on the Belgian coast, but she also serves customers further afield. Based in Jabbeke, Belgium, Say it with Soap is probably the first company in Benelux to offer custom-designed bars of soap to customers looking for that special gift. Her business, Say it with Soap, embodies the spirit of imagination and creativity that all Roland Heroes have in common. We call it message soap," explains Françoise Descheemaeker.
"Soap carrying a message – that's what we make. Say it with Soap is cleaning up in a niche market: using a Roland EGX-350 engraving machine, this Belgian business creates personalised messages and slogans on bars of soap.
