The Process of GlassLaser Engraving and etching
Laser engraving actually removes a portion of the material by vaporizing it and thereby leaving a small cavity that reveals a design. This can be observed with both sight and by touching the material. Engraving depths vary slightly and average between 0.02″ and 0.125″ depending on the hardness of the material.
Laser etching, on the other hand, does not cut into the glass material in the same manner as engraving. This process only removes the very most outer layer for this effect.
How It Works
When laser etching glass, the end result is often a look of quality and class. Laser etching glass or crystal leaves a frosty mark on the surface that stands out, yet is smooth to the touch.
Two Types of Glass Processes
- Engraving Glass- The physical process of vaporizing a shallow layer of glass material thereby leaving a cavity or void which showcases the design.
- Etching Glass – The physical process of removing the outermost top layer of glass by removing around 0.001″ giving the glass a frosty look that slightly opaque.
