Laser engraving is a process that uses a laser to engrave a design or text into an object. Diode lasers are a type of laser that is commonly used for engraving wood. When engraving wood with a diode laser, the laser beam vaporizes the wood, creating a recessed area. The depth of the engraving can be controlled by the power of the laser and the speed at which the laser moves across the wood.
Engraving depth in wood with a diode laser has a number of advantages over other engraving methods. First, diode lasers are relatively inexpensive and easy to operate. Second, diode lasers produce very precise engravings with high detail. Third, diode lasers do not produce any harmful fumes or dust, making them a safe and environmentally friendly option.
