Laser engraving is now an essential technology in craftsmanship, object personalization, signage, and decoration. Precise, fast, and clean, it enhances a wide variety of materials with a crisp, durable, and elegant finish. In this article, we explain how it works, what can be created with it, and why it's both a technical and aesthetic solution. It has become a go-to tool for artisans, designers, manufacturers, and individuals seeking personalized, original, and eco-conscious items.Laser Engraving: A Precise and Versatile Technology A Simple Principle: The Laser Beam Laser engraving relies on focusing a very powerful beam of light onto a surface. This beam heats the material until it burns, melts, or vaporizes, depending on the type of substrate. This allows for the removal of a thin layer of material with exceptional precision, without any physical contact. This technology provides perfect control over depth, speed, and line quality. The Main Technologies: CO2, Fiber, Diode Several types of lasers are used depending on the material: - CO2 Laser: Ideal for wood, acrylic, leather, cardboard, and glass. It also allows for cutting certain materials. - Fiber Laser: Designed for engraving metals (steel, aluminum, stainless steel, etc.). It is especially suitable for industrial uses and durable items. - Diode Laser: More compact, used for simple surface engravings. Conve...
