Laser Engraver Projects

Stone Items

• Lasers are great for engraving stone items. From polished stone to solid marble and granite, a laser etches graphic designs as easily as an inkjet printer spits out flawless photographs. When engraving stone, the best results are achieved from fine-grained stones. Products such as stone tile, white marble, dark onyx and even glass provide a perfect canvas for the CO2 laser. The laser engraver produces a high-quality, highly visible, engraved image.

Holiday and Anniversary Gifts

• Giftware, such as commemorative goblets used in wedding ceremonies or sterling silver tableware given for anniversaries can be easily customized with a laser engraver. Either an image as simple as the couple's name and anniversary date or a replicated photograph can be laser etched on the surface of the delicate giftware. Because the item is engraved with a digital laser, the graphic image is flawlessly duplicated onto the item's surface.

Engraved Plaques

• CO2 lasers are swiftly becoming the easiest way to produce engraved plaques for special awards. Trophies for sports teams, awards for business staff or custom embossed personal items are all created quickly and easily with a CO2 laser. The devices' built-in software eliminates the computer programming challenges associated with CNC machines and eliminates the costly setup time needed for pantograph routers and traditional engravers.

Leather

• Even leather clothing items can be custom engraved with a CO2 laser. Belts, handbags, leather hats and wallets can all be personalized into memorable gifts. In the past, embossing an image onto leather meant creating a custom designed metal stamp. The stamp was hammered into the surface of the leather, and thus transferred the image. With a laser, the machine recognizes the length, width and depth of the image and flawlessly transfers it onto the surface of the leather item. Even photographs and drawings can be reproduced on a leather canvas as if the leather had been run through a photocopy machine.
