While electrical machines are faster and better suitable for large productions, they are sometimes more sophisticated in their operation and expensive or difficult to replicate. That's why we need to aim also to low tech machines. Another factor is the amount of energy necessary to accomplish this process. Speaking of engraving, scratching requires less energy than punch peen or die-cutting, this for thicker materials.

We're still exploring different compositions of technique, materials, and mechanical systems for our "low tech replicable labeler." And we will bring these findings here in the next days.

Greetings!
