LASER ENGRAVING and ETCHING
We also offer a laser engraving service.
Using laser technology, an image of any kind can be engraved or etched
onto materials such as
leather, perspex, acrylic, wood, glass, marble, sliced bread and many fabrics.
Engraving operates from normal image files such as tif, jpeg etc
and these can either be emailed to us,
supplied on cd or on paper.
Here are just a few examples of the process;

The Hamster Playboy Mansion

for the engravings, along with vector line drawings for the cutting.We are happy to work
with your files or to create them for you.To see formats required etc go to

Engraving onto Painted Metal
As CO2 lasers simply bounce off of metal,interesting effects
can be achieved by engraving through the paint, to reveal the shiny metal
underneath.This method is often seen used on Laptops and ipods
as a way of customising them.
Laser engraved 'Radiance' Perspex
With Mirrored Perspex/Acrylic, the black parts of the image
are engraved on the back of the mirrored material, turning it to
a frosted transparent,leaving the white parts of the image mirrored
