The Differences Between Laser Engraving, Etching, and Marking

Laser engraving, etching, and marking are all similar processes and are sometimes used interchangeably; however, there are subtle differences that define them:

  • Laser engraving – A high-powered laser is used to etch into a surface, creating a cavity that reveals an image.
  • Laser etching – A laser melts the material to create an image rather than vaporizing it.
  • Laser marking – A beam with low power causes oxidation, and the material turns black. This is also often described as “laser dark marking.”

How Laser Engraving Works

Engraving is the art of forming designs by cutting the surface of a metal plate or block of wood. Laser engraving is the newest and most adaptable engraving method. An expert uses a super-focused beam of light to produce the engraving. From there, they can adjust the laser’s thickness to increase or decrease the engraving’s width. They can also modify its strength to carve deeply into the material’s base, improving the engraving’s texture.
