At the heart of a laser engraver is a laser beam that is focused onto a small spot on the material being engraved. The heat from the laser beam causes the material to evaporate, creating a small depression or groove. By moving a laser beam along the surface of a material, engravers can create intricate designs, text and patterns.
Laser engravers come in many types and sizes, from small desktop machines to large industrial machines. Some machines are designed specifically for engraving certain materials, such as metal or glass, while others are more versatile and can be used on a variety of materials. The cost of a atomstack laser engraver depends on its size, power, and features, and can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
Laser engravers have many practical applications, including engraving logos and designs on products, creating custom gifts and decorations, and adding identification marks to industrial components.

Overall, laser engravers are versatile tools that offer a multitude of possibilities for engraving designs and patterns on a variety of materials. Whether you want to add custom designs to your products, create unique gifts and decorations, or just explore your creativity, a laser engraver is an excellent investment.
