glass, crystal: Laser Engraving technology is one of the most versatile means of permanently inscribing an award. The engraving job is programmed using a graphics program, which then sends the engraving message to a laser engraver. A laser beam focuses a certain distance from the product, dependent upon the settings in accordance to the material that is being engraved. Both the laser speed and the intensity of the beam can be adjusted. These two factors ensure the appropriate depth of the marking.
