Model Making & Glass Etching

Laser Cutting and Etching has been moving out of merely industrial applications and into the worlds of high-design, craftsmanship, and artistry due to the broad types of design that can be implemented and the versatile materials that can be used. As such, Lasers are increasingly used in architectural design, interior design, fine-art, high-end design, and decoration, on everything from wood to fabric to steel.

CO2 Lasers can etch into glass in high-definition to create a look that appears like much more expensive, craftsman-heavy engraving. Our CO2 Lasers etch within a fraction of a millimeter exactitude to create high-resolution images on a number of different materials, easily rendered from CAD (Computer Aided Design), creating a sophisticated and polished, refined futuristic look.

A CO2 Laser does not just mimic an engraver, but expands on its capabilities to create designs that have depth and shading that appear 3D, not to mention faster & easier able to scale-up to meet increased production orders. Though it is more utilized for its ability to scale-up production speed, this has also become incredibly versatile in the worlds of craft, art, and high-end design fabrication.

Beyond high-end design, you often see glass etching and models in promotional goods that need to make a memorable impact. As often times glass etching is used on wine glasses, beer mugs, shot glasses, and household cups, Senfeng manufactures CO2 laser cutters that have Rotary-Attachments to their workbeds, allowing you to easily design & fabricate onto curved/cylindrical materials. Another popular application of Laser Etching into Glass is design or text imbedded into mirrors or glass-panes.
