There are a number of technologies used to etch glass including sandblasting, wet etching, glass reflow processes, and reactive ion etching. However, laser engraving is advantageous over these processes. Here’s why.
Fast and precise: for the same amount of time you need to make a stencil for a sandblasting product, you can laser engrave a dozen of items. In addition, lasers give your engraving a high degree of detail thanks to its high precision. If you have intricate designs and pictures, you can employ laser engraving for the highest precision.
Consistent: with laser engraving, your designs are saved as files and can later be reproduced to create the same quality. Furthermore, having no point of contact during the engraving process means there are less camping and breakage of the sheets.
Cost: laser engraving on glass is a very cost-effective technique of marking glass. Unless you have the money to spend on high-quality sandblasting, laser engraving will do just fine. in fact, even though sandblasting is quite pricey, the end product of a laser engraved glass item doesn’t differ very much from one that is marked through sandblasting.
Simplicity: unlike other glass marking technologies, laser engraving eliminates the need for masking. When you need to engrave an image on both sides of a glass surface, simply flip them over and start your laser. This is also true for glass with complex curvature.
Easy to execute: compared to sandblasting and mechanical engraving, lasers are flexible and more forgiving. They also require minimal cleaning.
Excellent colorful effect, beside you could plus install the LED light strip around the laser engraving glass, open the light then will get the LED colorful glass.
