Metal etching with an xTool laser opens the door to professional-quality customization, from personalized jewelry and branded tools to industrial parts and creative art pieces. With the right machine, settings, and material preparation, beginners and professionals alike can achieve sharp, durable engravings on a wide range of metals.
Clean Engraving Results
Wide Metal Compatibility
High Detail Precision
Metal laser etching uses a high-energy laser beam to create permanent marks on metal surfaces. Depending on the laser and metal type, the beam either oxidizes the surface or removes a thin layer, producing clear, durable markings without mechanical contact.
Non-Contact Process
Because the laser never physically touches the material, there is no tool wear and extremely fine details can be engraved.
Permanent Marking
Laser etching creates durable marks that resist wear, heat, and chemicals, making it ideal for both decorative and industrial uses.
