laser engraver

Light-cutting craft tool

A laser engraver is a machine that uses a focused laser beam to etch designs, text, or images onto surfaces like wood, metal, glass, or leather.

The laser burns or vaporizes material to create permanent marks.

Hobbyists use desktop models for crafts and personalization; industrial versions handle manufacturing and signage: She used the laser engraver to add monograms to the cutting boards.
