Laser etching glass

Laser etching is a subset of laser engraving, which occurs when the heat of the beam causes the surface of the material to melt.  Unlike engraving, the etching depth is usually no more than 0.001 inches.

Laser engraving cuts out a part of the material, leaving a cavity for display design.  In harder materials, the engraving depth usually varies from 0.02 "to 0.125".
