Subsurface laser engraving systems create intricate three-dimensional designs within crystal or glass blocks by focusing intense laser pulses at specific points within the material. This process causes micro-fractures, forming the desired shape or image visible as points of light scattering within the transparent medium. An example would be a precisely etched representation of a company logo suspended inside a crystal award.
These systems offer unparalleled precision and the ability to produce complex, personalized designs impossible with traditional surface engraving methods. This technology has become increasingly important for creating high-value personalized gifts, awards, and promotional items. Historically, producing such intricate internal designs required laborious and time-consuming manual techniques. Laser technology has revolutionized the process, allowing for significantly increased production speeds and the creation of far more elaborate designs.
