Roland DGA Corp. has announced that its DGSHAPE LD-80 Laser Decorator was recognized as a Gold Award winner in the 2018 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards. Held annually, the Laser Focus World Innovators Awards are presented to organizations that demonstrate excellence in the use of a product, system, or application. Submissions are judged by a panel of senior industry experts on originality; innovation; their impact on designers, system engineers, or users; and whether they fulfilled a new market need, leveraged a novel technology, and/or increased productivity.
Introduced earlier this year, the DGSHAPE LD-80 Laser Decorator makes it easy to personalize and enhance small, off-the-shelf acrylic, ABS and polycarbonate items with metallized and holographic foils. It enables users to incorporate stunning designs – even small text and fine details – quickly, easily and with incredible precision. The LD-80’s small footprint, variable data capabilities, and ability to foil-decorate without a hot-foil stamp, make it unbeatable for on-demand foil decoration in retail stores, at kiosks, or at concerts and other special events.
The 2018 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards Honorees are featured in the May issue of Laser Focus World magazine and at http://digital.laserfocusworld.com/laserfocusworld/201805/MobilePagedArticle.action?articleId=1392908#articleId1392908.
