What types of graphics can I engrave and cut?

Understand the kinds of graphics and file types you can print with a laser machine

You can engrave scanned photos, logos, bitmaps, other images, text, and AutoCAD files. Essentially, if you can print it, you can engrave it. To cut, you will need a vector based graphic, such as an .eps or Illustrator file.

Keep in mind the higher the quality of the graphic you’re working with, the better your engraving results.

Cutting Metal

Applications & Materials
