Laser engraving is a process that uses a focused laser beam to permanently mark or etch designs, text, or images onto a material’s surface. The laser is controlled by a computer and follows a digital design, heating the material so intensely that it removes a thin layer or alters its appearance. Because the laser never physically touches the object, the process is extremely precise and allows for fine details that would be difficult to achieve with traditional engraving tools.

This technique works on a wide range of materials, including wood, metal, glass, leather, and stone. Laser engraving is commonly used for personalization, branding, industrial labeling, and decorative artwork because the results are clean, accurate, and long-lasting. Unlike ink-based printing, the engraved marks do not fade or wear off easily, making laser engraving a popular choice for both creative and practical applications.
