Furnells describes laser engraving as using a controlled energy beam to alter or remove material and produce a permanent mark from digital artwork. Lettering or artwork is prepared digitally to control its size, position and linework before the item is placed in the machine. Depending on the material, the beam removes surface material, changes its appearance or creates contrast.
Power, speed, focus and repeated passes affect the result. Raster engraving builds images line by line, while vector work follows defined paths. Furnells highlights the importance of assessing suitability and settings, particularly for unusual or important items, because similar-looking materials can react differently.
Raster, vector and material assessment
Raster work is useful for filled areas and photographic-style designs. Vector work suits outlines, fine lettering and certain marking applications. Furnells advises assessing how the material responds before committing to important or unusual finished pieces.
