What is a laser engraving machine?
Firstly, laser engraving machines are sophisticated pieces of machinery. But, don’t let that put you off, they are much easier to use than you’d expect.

It comes with either a 3W, 5.5W or 15W Yora laser module. But, we are getting ahead of ourselves here. Back to the basics!
What is the technology behind laser engraving?
The principle behind laser engraving is quite simple really.
The laser beam cuts into or marks the material you’re working with, leaving behind a permanent engraving. It is the heat of the beam of the laser which does the work.
When a material is exposed to the beam, depending on the material and the laser power, the beam can remove a section of a material, leaving the engraved mark in its place.
The depth of the engraving that is left can vary, thanks to the control that is offered to users by modern laser setups, with everything from the 3W, 5.5W & 15W Yora Laser Modules
