How Stone Laser Engraving Works
Stone laser engraving uses a high-powered CO2 laser beam to alter the surface of the stone, creating deep, permanent markings. The laser interacts with the minerals in the stone, resulting in a high-contrast engraving that stands out against the natural color of the material. Unlike traditional etching methods, laser engraving does not require physical tools, reducing wear and tear while providing greater precision.
Steps to Use a Laser Cutter or Engraver for Stone
1. Design your artwork
2. Prepare the stone
3. Set up & Start the machine
4. Finish the project
Use vector-based software such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW to create the engraving design, ensuring it suits the texture and color of the stone.
Clean the stone surface and position it securely on the laser bed to prevent movement during engraving.
Adjust laser power, speed, and resolution settings based on the type and density of the stone. Begin engraving and monitor the process to ensure optimal results.
Once the engraving is complete, remove the stone and clean off any debris or dust. Depending on the project, additional sealing or polishing may be applied for a refined look.

Stone Engraving FAQs
Can laser engraving add color to stone?

Standard laser engraving does not add color, but using stone color-fill techniques (such as applying paint or gold leaf into engraved areas) can create contrast and enhance visibility.

Why does my engraving on stone appear uneven?

Uneven engraving can result from variations in stone density. Adjusting laser power, using multiple passes, and applying wet paper towels over the surface can help achieve more consistent results.

Can laser engraving be used on polished stone surfaces?

Yes, but polished surfaces reflect the laser, leading to less contrast. For better results, consider sandblasting or using a coating before engraving.

How do I protect outdoor laser-engraved stone?

Applying a weatherproof sealant can prevent fading and erosion. Regular cleaning with non-acidic stone cleaners helps maintain clarity.

What type of laser works best for stone engraving?

CO₂ lasers work well for shallow surface engraving, while fiber lasers can achieve deeper, high-contrast marks on certain types of stone, such as slate and granite.
