Engraving and Etching Glass by Laser or Other Methods

Engraving and Etching Glass by Laser or Other Methods

Generally, glasses are engraved using mechanical engraving techniques that use sharp tools to scratch and remove layers of glass. These alternative tools were handheld like a pen while carving on glass.

Otherwise, there is also sandblasting, which is also a popular technique used for engraving glass. However, it has a long working cycle compared to a laser machine.

Accuracy and Repeatability

Compared with the above traditional methods of engraving glass, glass laser engravers have a higher accuracy. Which can perform highly accurate, repeated jobs with high consistency. There is a higher chance of errors when selecting traditional methods of cutting, furthermore, it’s almost impossible to get similar ending results on repeated jobs.

Contactless engraving

Unlike traditional engraving techniques, there is no contact between the workpiece and laser engravers, thus it is not a must to clamp the workpiece. This effectively eliminated the different forces acting on the glass while working with it and prevents unnecessary fractures. Furthermore, it requires minimal effort in post-processing.
