Laser Cutting and Engraving at Express Print South Africa

Laser cutting is a manufacturing method that uses a concentrated beam of light to slice through materials with great accuracy. It is very adaptable and works on a variety of materials, including wood, acrylic, metal, leather, and more. The beam melts, burns, or vaporises the material along the chosen path, leaving clean edges and intricate shapes.Laser engraving, by contrast, uses a laser to etch or carve designs into surfaces. The process changes the material’s surface without cutting right through, so detailed logos, text, or images can be permanently marked on products. The outcome is a high-quality finish that boosts the item’s visual appeal while adding durability.
