What is laser crystal engraving?
Laser crystal engraving is the process of using high -precision lasers to designate materials, including natural and synthetic crystal. Many shapes and types of material can be engraved, leading to many uses for laser crystalline engraving on different types of crystals. Without changing the surface, the laser can create an image inside the workpiece. For example, images can be re -created in a crystal to create a three -dimensional (3D) image. Using specific laser coordinates, it produces enough energy to melt or create small cracks that create a small spot inside the crystal. Depending on the complexity of the design and abilities of the laser engraving machine, there may be thousands of these places that eventually add and create the entire design. High -resolution designs are possible, with the quality of the amount and size of the stains produced. Some crystals can work better than others, depending on their molecular structure and superficial characteristics.For example, a highly reflective or rough crystal is often more difficult to engrave than a clean, flat crystal. The quality of price and design is often dependent on the type of material engraved. For high -quality laser engraving machines, it is often possible to create patterns inside virtually any shape crystal that allows many different engraved products.
The engraved crystal is often considered visually attractive, so there are many applications for engraving laser crystal. Among other things, the products may include key chains, paperweight and wine stopper. Professional engraving applications include award -winning plaques and names. Laser souvenir engraving is also popular, as crystals can often be engraved in a short time.This increases the potential for the engraving of laser crystals that are used in high -traffic areas such as tourist attractions. To create monuments or souvenirsis often used by their own engraving, so there are many companies to create different engraved crystal products. One of the features that makes laser crystal engraving popular for souvenirs is the ability to turn a crystalline monument photo. The image is usually scanned by a computer, a technician prepared and then re -created inside the crystal. This process is often so effective that three -dimensional images can be made of photos.
