Glass

Community laser settings for this material.

Glass can be engraved using a laser to create a frosted, sandblasted-style surface. The laser micro-fractures the glass surface to create the design.

Glass engraving works best with a CO2 laser. Diode lasers struggle on most glass. Apply a thin layer of wet newspaper, dish soap, or laser-specific compound to reduce chipping. Engrave at low power, multiple passes for cleaner results.

Rotary attachment essential. Dish soap smeared on glass surface before engraving reduces micro-fractures. Clean with glass cleaner after.

Low power is key — too much shatters glass. Wet paper towel mask helps prevent micro-fractures. Rotary attachment needed for tumblers.

Diode engraves glass surface but results are inconsistent. Mask with wet paper towel to reduce cracking. CO2 produces far better results on glass.
