It may be right when some people argue that laser engraving is not truly art but that it is technology that does all the work. But let us take a step back and examine the facts. Do laser engraved art works delight our senses? Yes they do. Do machines decide on the designs to be engraved? No people do. Are these images creative, fun and touch your emotions at some level? Yes they definitely do. By these definitions laser engraving does come under the purview of art.

To start with, we would like to tell you want laser engraving is all about. And as the name suggests, laser engraving uses lasers to etch or engrave or mark on a surface. This technique unlike others does not use ink or does not have tool bits that touch the surface, which means that time does not make them wear out. We have mentioned this here, because these are the qualities that make it different from other methods and that you do not have to replace the bits or fill up ink as you would have to do with other methods. Another important point to be noted with laser engraving is that it can be used on many materials previously not considered suitable for engraving.

However, there are some precautions you have to take to ensure that the design that you choose comes out the way you want it to by masking some areas with tape among other steps.
