🪩 Glass Engraving — Etching Memories in Crystal Clarity
Why UV Laser?
Unlike CO₂ lasers, UV lasers don’t rely on heat — they fracture the surface at the microscopic level, leaving behind crisp and frosted designs without cracks or burn marks.
Best for:
-
Personalized photo crystals
-
Custom glass awards
-
Wine glasses and ornaments
Quick Settings:
| Parameter | Recommended Range |
|---|---|
| Power | 80–90% |
| Speed | 400–600 mm/s |
| Frequency | 30–35 kHz |
| Pulse Width | 3–5 ns |
Tips for Beginners:
-
Always clean glass with alcohol before engraving.
-
Use Auto LiDAR Focus for consistent depth.
-
Lower focus slightly below the surface for 3D subsurface engraving.
-
Use grayscale images for best tonal results.
