laser engraving
Beam-carved surface marks
Laser engraving is a process that uses a focused laser beam to etch designs, text, or images into hard surfaces like metal, wood, glass, or acrylic.
The laser vaporizes or burns away material to create permanent marks.
Unlike printing, engraving produces tactile depth: The trophy had laser engraving on the base.
The technique is used for personalization, industrial marking, and decorative work.
