Engraving
Non-contact and wear-free process for removing material layer by layer.
Laser engraving is the only process in which the workpiece is not touched by a tool for engraving. Instead, the energy of the laser beam heats the material and vaporizes it. It is not necessary to fix the workpiece. The laser control optimized for engraving and special optical components, together with the AC-Laser software, enable the creation of high-precision 3D engravings.

Deep engraving
With deep engraving, material is removed from the surface of the workpiece to a precisely defined depth. This creates a visible and tactile mark on the workpiece. The principle: The laser beam melts the material, it vaporizes and escapes through melt displacement. The combination of state-of-the-art laser technology and ACSYS AC-LASER software guarantees high-precision laser depth engraving.
2.5D and 3D engraving
Just as with deep engraving, the material is also removed from the surface of the workpiece into the depth with 2.5D and 3D engraving. Difference: The material is removed layer by layer and software-controlled at variable depths so that the desired structure is gradually revealed. In this way, predefined flank angles for embossing dies can be produced just as efficiently as complex three-dimensional surface structures – for example in mold making.
Micro-engraving
Smaller, more precise and virtually forgery-proof: micro-engraving can be used to produce intricate structures and three-dimensional geometries in µ format. ACSYS uses state-of-the-art femtosecond lasers for this. These remove less than 1 µm of material per laser pulse. This allows engravings with a correspondingly fine depth resolution. The micro-engraving process is used, for example, in the production of embossing stamps or quality seals for proof of authenticity and in the jewelry industry.
