Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about UV laser engraving.
What materials can a UV laser engrave?
UV lasers can engrave a wide range of materials including glass, crystal, metal, plastic, acrylic, wood, ceramic, leather, rubber, silicone, and PCB boards. They are especially effective on transparent and heat-sensitive materials.
Why choose a UV laser instead of other laser types?
UV lasers use cold laser technology, which produces extremely precise marks with minimal heat impact. This makes them ideal for delicate materials and high-precision engraving.
Can UV lasers engrave glass and crystal?
Yes. UV lasers are widely used for glass and crystal engraving, delivering sharp details while reducing the risk of cracks or discoloration.
Does UV laser engraving burn the material?
In most cases, no. UV laser technology has a very low thermal effect, helping prevent burning, black edges, or surface damage during engraving.
What industries use UV laser marking machines?
UV lasers are commonly used in electronics, jewelry, packaging, medical products, industrial parts, and custom engraving businesses.
What software does the machine support?
The machine supports BSL App and LightBurn, providing flexible control for design, marking, and production workflows.
Can I use accessories with the machine?
Yes. The machine supports accessories such as rotary attachments, fume extractors, and protective enclosures for expanded engraving capabilities.
