We cannot emphasize the accuracy of laser engraving too much. It allows you to leave the smallest details on the surface.            

Finally, there are personalized gifts. We have mentioned jewelry, but the fact is that its market is very broad, and there are few restrictions because you can use this machine to leave traces on metal and non-metallic materials.
