The Essentials of Mechanical Engraving
The material is removed using cutting tools, "engraving drills" of varying shapes and sizes. This process is used to engrave characters, symbols or shapes. The drill follows the digital machine's machining toolpaths defined using CAD/CAM software (Computer-Assisted Design/Computer-Assisted Manufacturing).
Mechanical engraving offers numerous benefits such as; precision and repeatability. It is suitable for almost all materials (metals, alloys, wood, stone and plastics, etc).
