Laser engraving is a way of using high-energy light (laser) to make patterns or shapes on different types of materials. The laser creates a beam that is very small and concentrated. When the beam is directed on the material, it removes tiny particles of material, which creates the patterns or shapes. The patterns or shapes can be very detailed and intricate, because the laser beam is so small. Laser engraving can be used on many different kinds of materials, like metal, wood, glass, stone, and plastic.
