Laser engraving, or laser marking, is the practice of using engrave or mark an object. The technique does not involve the use of inks, nor does it involve tool bitswhich contact the engraving surface and wear out. These properties distinguish laser engraving from alternative engraving or marking technologies where bit heads have to be replaced regularly or inks have to be used.
