Featuring 3-axis design, Contour Galvanometer Laser Scan Head engraves wood, plastics, and metal by vaporizing material underneath scanner. Unit is also suitable for engraving glass because laser causes microscopic cracks and lifts cracked material off surface. While 2-axis laser scan head operates in X/Y plane for use on flat, 2-dimensional surfaces, Contour moves in third axis, thereby allowing it to engrave intricate markings on contoured dimensional surfaces.
