A laser engraver is a machine that uses a focused beam of light, or laser, to etch designs or text onto various materials. This technology allows for precise and detailed engraving on surfaces like wood, glass, metal, and plastic. Laser engravers are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, crafting, and personalization. These machines operate by directing the laser beam onto the material, which either burns away or alters the surface to create the desired pattern. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems often control laser engravers, enabling users to create intricate designs with ease and accuracy.
