CO2 + MOPA Fiber Dual-Laser Advantage
CO2 Laser Engraving
CO2 lasers are well suited to surface engraving on granite and can produce photographs, lettering, logos, and detailed designs. They also support a broad range of additional materials, making them useful for businesses with diverse product lines.
MOPA Fiber Engraving
MOPA Fiber lasers provide another option for high-contrast marking and deeper granite engraving. The adjustable laser characteristics give you greater flexibility when working toward a specific depth, contrast, or appearance.
Laser Photo Engraving on Granite
Laser engraving on granite uses a focused laser beam to remove or alter the surface of the stone, creating light and dark areas that reproduce the tones and details of a photograph. The image is converted into a laser-ready design and processed at controlled power and resolution to create the desired contrast. This allows a granite laser engraving machine to reproduce facial features, shading, fine details, and backgrounds with high accuracy.
Photo engraving is commonly used for memorial portraits, headstones, plaques, and other personalized granite applications. With the right granite engraving equipment, you can engrave granite directly from digital photographs and create consistent, detailed results without the need for traditional hand engraving.
1. Set Up the Granite
Position the granite securely under the granite laser engraving machine and prepare the surface for engraving.
2. Prepare the Image
Import your photograph into LightBurn and adjust the image settings for detailed laser engraving on granite.
3. Engrave with CO2
Use the CO₂ laser to create the initial image, establishing the main tones and details of the granite engraving.
4. Add Fine Detail with Fiber
A second pass with the fiber laser brings out fine details for high-resolution laser engraving granite.
5. Add Contrast
Apply acrylic paint to the engraved surface to enhance contrast and make the finished laser engraved granite image stand out.

Granite Laser Engraving Machine FAQs
Yes. A properly configured laser system can create photographs, lettering, logos, patterns, and custom designs on granite. Results vary according to the stone’s color, grain, polish, mineral composition, laser source, and machine settings.
Prepare the photograph or design, position the granite, select the laser source, choose appropriate settings, run a material test, and then engrave the finished design. Testing is important because granite can vary between suppliers and stone batches.
A dual-laser system gives you two laser sources in one machine. CO₂ supports detailed surface engraving on granite and many other materials. MOPA Fiber provides another option for high-contrast marking and deeper granite engraving.
The advantage is the ability to select the laser source that best matches the material and desired result.
The appropriate laser source depends on the granite, surface finish, design, desired depth, and contrast. CO₂ is well suited to detailed surface engraving, while MOPA Fiber provides additional options for high-contrast and deeper engraving. Test the actual stone before production.
Yes. Laser engraving can reproduce properly prepared photographs on suitable granite. Dark, fine-grained granite generally provides the strongest visible contrast.
Yes. Compatible granite headstones and memorial components can be engraved with portraits, names, dates, landscapes, inscriptions, and decorative designs.
Yes. Compatible marble can be laser engraved, although its natural color, veining, and mineral variation can produce different contrast than dark granite.
Yes. The compatible materials depend on the machine and laser-source configuration. A CO₂ + MOPA Fiber system provides broader engraving and marking capabilities across stone, organic materials, metals, coated surfaces, and other compatible products.
