WHAT IS LASER ENGRAVING

Laser engraving is a highly precise and versatile service that utilizes laser technology to etch, mark, or engrave designs, patterns, text, or graphics onto various materials. This process is widely used across industries for customization, branding, personalization, and identification purposes. Laser engraving services offer a non-contact, precise, and efficient method of adding permanent markings to a wide range of materials.

Process Overview:

The process of laser engraving involves using a focused laser beam to remove layers of material from the surface, creating a visible design or pattern. It follows these basic steps:

  1. Design Input: A digital file, often created using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software or vector graphics, serves as the blueprint for the engraving. This design guides the laser’s movements and intensity.
  2. Material Preparation: Different materials respond differently to laser engraving. The surface of the material to be engraved must be cleaned and prepared to ensure the best engraving results.
  3. Laser Engraving: The laser system directs a concentrated beam of light onto the material, precisely removing layers to create the desired design, text, or pattern. The depth and intricacy of the engraving can be controlled with high precision.

Materials and Applications:

Laser engraving services are capable of marking a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, wood, glass, leather and stones.
