Subsurface laser engraving systems utilize focused laser beams to create intricate three-dimensional designs within transparent materials like crystal. This process involves precisely directing the laser to points within the crystal, causing micro-fractures that form the desired pattern or image. These machines can produce a wide range of artistic effects, from complex geometric forms to realistic portraits, all encased within the crystal’s pristine exterior.
The ability to produce these internal, three-dimensional designs offers a unique advantage over surface engraving methods. The artwork is protected from wear and tear, preserving its intricate detail. This technology has opened doors for high-value applications such as personalized gifts, bespoke awards and trophies, and the creation of intricate artistic pieces. Its precision and ability to achieve previously impossible levels of detail represent a significant advancement in engraving technology.
