Laser engraving is a process that uses a laser beam to etch designs or text onto various materials such as slate, wood, and acrylic. The laser beam is controlled by a computer, which directs it to remove layers of the material to create the desired design.

When the laser beam hits the material, it heats up and vaporizes, leaving behind a permanent mark. This process is precise and can create intricate designs with high levels of detail. Laser engraving is commonly used for personalising items.
