Applications & Working Principles
This machine uses UV laser technology to create tiny fractures or "bubbles" inside transparent materials. By carefully focusing the laser at precise coordinates, these fractures come together to form detailed 3D images and patterns within the material, creating a floating effect.
Exquisitely detailed
ApexRay 3D Crystal Laser Engraving Machine features advanced UV laser technology with an ultra-fine spot size—significantly smaller than traditional green lasers used by most competitors. This enables the ApexRay to capture exceptionally intricate details and deliver crystal-clear results, even in miniature designs.
Industrial-grade High Performance & Stability
The core components of the machine use industry-leading products, ensuring excellent performance and stable quality. Both water-cooled and air-cooled models offer ultra-high precision and an extended service life. The specially optimized optical system ensures that 3D engravings inside the glass are uniform, complete, and free from distortion.
Wider Application
Beyond 3D subsurface engraving, the ApexRay also supports precise surface marking on a wide range of materials — including plastic, glass, wood, leather, paper, and silicone. This versatility makes it an all-in-one solution for both artistic creations and industrial applications.
Compact Design
Industrial Performance
ApexRay features a compact, desktop-sized design that fits easily into any workspace. Despite its small footprint, it delivers industrial-grade precision and durability, ensuring professional-quality results for every engraving. With its easy setup and stable performance, the ApexRay is ideal for studios, workshops, retail stores, and on-site customization events.
Affordable Excellence
Despite its advanced capabilities, ApexRay is offered at only 1/3 to 1/2 the price of most laser subsurface engraving machines on the market—delivering exceptional value without compromising performance or quality.

Engraving Speed
The processing time depends on the size and complexity of the 3D design, as well as factors such as dot density and laser parameter settings. For example, engraving a glass cube measuring 80 × 50 × 50 mm typically takes 10 to 30 minutes
Optional Spare Parts

Note: Smaller lenses (smaller engraving areas) provide finer quality. Please choose the lens that fits your needs.
Differences Between Air Cooled & Water Cooled Model
The performance is exactly same. The difference is working environment temperature requirements. The air-cooled model operates within a temperature range of -5 to 35°C (23~95℉), while the water-cooled model can function in temperatures from -5 to 45°C (23~113℉). The water-cooled model is better suited for hotter climates and offers more stable performance in high-temperature environments. If your workplace is typically hot, we recommend choosing the water-cooled model. On the other hand, the air-cooled laser eliminates the need for a water chiller, offering advantages such as simpler installation and maintenance, lower noise, smaller size, lighter weight, and easier transportation.
