Laser Engraving vs Hand Engraving

Where laser engraving excels

Laser work is especially strong where fine detail, repeatability, complex artwork or multiple matching items are required.

Where hand work still matters

Traditional engraving offers a distinctly crafted character and can be appropriate for specialist pieces where the hand-cut finish is part of the appeal.

Quantity changes the decision

For repeat production, digital control makes laser engraving much easier to reproduce consistently. For a single unusual item, the workshop may have more than one viable route.

Choose the result, not the buzzword

Customers do not need to decide the machine before speaking to Furnells. Show the workshop the item and the required result; the process can then be selected around the actual job.
