Laser engraving is the art of using the laser to engrave, mark, or etch an object.

Unlike other types of engraving, the technique does not require tool bits that wear out and have to be replaced. This is a great advantage. However, laser engraving can be technologically complex, often requiring a computer system to drive the movements of the laser head. Precise and clean engravings can be produced at a high rate of speed. Today there are polymers and metal alloys especially manufactured for laser engraving.

When engraving or physically altering a surface is not desirable, “marking” is done. Marking is done using a broad range of techniques, including printing and hot-branding. Today, laser engraving machines are sometimes used to do marking that previously would have been done by other means.

Laser engraving is the art of using the laser to engrave, mark, or etch an object. Unlike other types of engraving, the technique does not require tool bits that wear out and have to be replaced.

The Four Basic Techniques Available For Today's Engravers
The four basic techniques that are available for today’s engravers include hand engraving, pantograph, computer numeric controlled engraving, and laser engraving. The most ancient, and expensive, method of engraving is hand engraving. Using hammers of various weights, chisels, and other sharp tools with various profiles, designs are meticulously tapped into the surface of the material. Accuracy and precision are required with each and every stroke in order to achieve the proper overall look to the design.
