Laser engraving is a versatile technique applicable to a range of materials, each with unique characteristics.

• Wood: Easily absorbs laser energy; produces clean cuts and engravings. Different wood types yield varied finishes, with softer woods like pine engraving more easily than hardwoods like oak.
• Acrylic: Known for its vibrant colors and smooth finish. It melts rather than burns, resulting in sharp engravings. Acrylic is available in various thicknesses and colors, making it suitable for diverse applications.
• Glass: Engraving creates a frosted effect on its surface. While fragile, glass can be engraved with precision, allowing for intricate designs and personalization.
• Metal: Although harder, metals can be engraved with sufficient power. Commonly used metals include aluminum, brass, and stainless steel, each providing a durable finish. They require special coatings or treatments for better engraving results.
• Leather: Engraves well, producing a darkened effect. It is commonly used for personalized items, bags, and accessories, with varying results based on the type of leather.
• Paper: Suitable for detailed designs; can create intricate patterns or textures. Ideal for making cards, invitations, and decorative items.
