Laser Cutting

Laser cutting and engraving are relatively straightforward. Cutting will direct the laser along a prescribed path, such as an outline of a shape, with high laser power to burn a clean line through the material. Engraving (rastering) is similar to an inkjet printer, with the laser passing back and forth over the material and pulsing on and off very quickly to burn an image into the surface of the material.
