What is the difference between a laser engraving machine and a mechanical engraving machine?

And how to choose the right machine?

There are significant differences between laser engraving machines and mechanical engraving machines in terms of engraving methods, processing materials and application fields.

①Engraving method:

Laser engraving machines use lasers as processing tools for engraving and use the heat energy of lasers to engrave materials.

Mechanical engraving machines use traditional cutting processing methods for engraving, using extremely hard materials such as diamond for engraving.

②Processing materials:

Laser engraving machines have certain limitations on processing materials. They cannot process materials such as stone. They are mainly used in the signage industry and advertising industry.

Mechanical engraving machines can process various materials from soft to hard rubber to stone, and their application fields are much wider than laser engraving machines.

③Accuracy and delicacy:

Because the laser engraving machine uses laser as the engraving tool, it has high precision and fineness. It can achieve a very delicate engraving effect, which is no less than the craftsmanship of manual engraving. Although mechanical engraving machines can also achieve a certain degree of accuracy, they may be relatively poor.
