Rotary & Laser Engraving
descriptionRequest a quoteLaser engraving is a fabrication process that uses a laser beam to physically remove the surface of a material to create an indentation that is noticeable to both the eye and touch. The process achieves this by creating high levels of heat, which essentially cause targeted sections of the material to vaporise.
Our powerful laser engraving machine allows us to engrave very fine detail at impressively high speeds. If required, the indentation achieved can even be colour-filled for contrast. While we specialise in laser engraving acrylics and laminated plastics, we can also laser engrave glass, wood, leather, cork, stone and certain metals.

Perspex sheets are available in many different colours and finishes including clear, coloured, cast, extruded and mirrored.

Our team of technicians and operatives are highly skilled and share a wealth of expertise.

Renowned for its speed and accuracy, we use the market-leading Trotec Speedy 300 for all our laser engraving services. Thanks to its outstanding power stability and fine laser spot, this machine can cut the finest details and achieve a uniform engraving image. It can accommodate a wide range of engravable materials. It can also engrave plastic sheets by removing the top layer at pace, without contact or post-processing, to reveal a contrasting colour underneath.
Our experienced laser engraving technicians are always happy to offer advice, make suitable recommendations, and assist with laser engraving drawings and designs.
We pride ourselves on our versatility and flexibility. We can accommodate long runs, short runs, one-offs and prototypes. As we are not restricted to set standard sizing, we can cut plastics to any size and shape required.
