People often get confused between laser engraving and laser cutting and believe they are the same thing.

Below is a brief definition of each one. We hope that you find this information useful and informative.

Lasers are a very useful tool for engraving, allowing the artist to create detailed designs by guiding the laser beam around and across the surface of metal or plastic. The laser beam is able to cut away at the surface of a material with the help of a computer-generated design, which moves around and draws lines, curves, or shapes on the material.

Lasers cutting (also known as computer numerical control (CNC) cutting) is a technique that uses lasers to cut away material from a surface. It is similar to lasers engraving, but instead of drawing lines, curves, and shapes on the surface of metal or plastic, it cuts them away with the help of a computer-generated design.
