How does a laser cutter engrave a design?

A laser cutter engraves a design by using a focused beam of light to remove material from the surface of a workpiece. The laser moves across the material in a precise pattern, controlled by computer software that dictates the design. The intensity and speed of the laser can be adjusted to create different depths and effects, allowing for intricate engravings. As the laser burns or vaporizes the material, it leaves behind a permanent mark or pattern.
