Genmitsu Laser Engraver Cutter Machine Buyer's Guide

Written by Chris

What's Desktop Laser Engraving?

Laser engraving is a process that utilizes a small laser to create permanent marks on a material's surface. Many of these Laser modules or processes are capable of cutting through certain materials as well. These machines were once out of reach for the average consumer because of their size and price tag. There are different types of Laser engravers like Diode, CO2, Fiber, and more. SainSmart focuses on affordable machines for the hobbyist and small business owner, with a range of Diode Module laser engravers and upgrades.

The laser precisely engraves onto the material surface, either burning or melting where it touches to leave a permanent mark. Depending on the color of the material, a laser leaves a white, gray, or black mark during the engraving process.
