Which Laser Engraver?
A laser engraver is a valuable tool for any creative workshop. This machine uses a laser beam to engrave, cut, or mark various materials, including metal and plastic. The process involves removing microscopic layers of material, creating visible marks on the surface, and allowing for intricate designs or patterns to be produced under software control, effectively tracing your artwork. Laser engravers are used in manufacturing, art and design, jewellery hallmarking, personalisation, bespoke applications, and engineering. They are also popular among small businesses, thanks to the compact size of some models that don't compromise on precision and versatility. Whether you’re looking to add an impactful engraving or apply some branding to your pieces, a laser engraver offers unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.

Types of Laser Engravers
Fibre laser engravers are ideal for jewellery making because they are fit for all of these applications:
​
-
Detailed Engraving: They create precise, intricate designs on metals like gold, silver, platinum, steel, aluminium, and brass. Think logos, monograms, serial numbers, and decorative patterns. This level of detail is perfect for high-quality jewellery.
-
Cutting Metal: Fibre lasers can accurately cut shapes from metal sheets. This is ideal for making pendants, earrings, and other decorative parts. For cutting, you'll likely need a more powerful laser. A 50-60 Watt laser can cut 2-3mm thick metal sheets (depending on the metal). Even faster cutting is possible with 80 Watt or higher models.
-
Deep Engraving: These lasers create deep marks for signet rings, stamps, hallmarks, or adding texture. This makes jewellery last and look authentic.
-
Texturing Surfaces: They add unique textures and finishes to metal, from a subtle brushed effect to more complex patterns, making the jewellery more attractive.
-
Personalising Jewellery: Quickly add names, photos, dates, or messages. This is great for custom-made pieces and ideal for sellers on platforms like Etsy and Not On The High Street.
-
Creating Filigree: The laser's precision allows for intricate filigree work, which can be difficult to achieve by hand.
-
Working with Different Metals: Fibre lasers work on many jewellery metals, including gold, silver, platinum, stainless steel, titanium, and aluminium.
-
For Creative and Industrial Use: Ideal for custom designs and also mass production. You can get them as compact standalone units or integrate them into automated production lines.
-
Options for Everyone: There are machines for all budgets and spaces. Some are designed for universities and institutions with high safety standards, featuring sensors and enclosed work areas. Others are portable enough to fit in a suitcase, perfect for events and pop-up shops.
