HD UV Laser Subsurface Engraving Machine
Our advanced HD UV laser subsurface engraving machine is designed for precision 3D engraving within transparent materials like crystal and glass. With its state-of-the-art UV laser technology, this machine can bring intricate 3D designs to life inside the material without damaging the surface.
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.
Common applications include creating high-end awards, personalized gifts, home décor, and intricate glass artwork. Our UV laser machine offers versatility beyond 3D subsurface engraving, enabling 2D surface marking on various materials like plastic, wood, leather, and silicone.

3D Subsurface Engraving vs. 2D Subsurface Engraving vs. 2D Surface Engraving
3D Subsurface Engraving vs. 2D Subsurface Engraving vs. 2D Surface Engraving
3D Subsurface Engraving
involves creating intricate three-dimensional images within a transparent material, such as glass or crystal. This method allows viewers to see the design from multiple angles, adding depth and realism that cannot be achieved with surface or 2D subsurface engraving. Additionally, the outer surface of the object remains untouched, maintaining its smoothness and transparency.
2D Subsurface Engraving
on the other hand, produces two-dimensional designs beneath the surface of the material. While it also preserves the smooth, unaltered exterior, the resulting image is flat, without the depth and multi-angle visibility offered by 3D subsurface engraving. This technique is ideal for detailed 2D images that need to be embedded within the material without affecting its surface.
2D Surface Engraving
is the most common technique, where designs are etched directly onto the material’s surface. This method creates a textured, two-dimensional image that is visible from only one side. While it may alter the smoothness of the surface, it is suitable for simpler, less complex designs.
Higher Engraving Precision
UV laser has a shorter wavelength than green laser (typically 355 nm for UV vs. 532 nm for green), which allows UV lasers to focus into smaller laser spots. This means that it can engrave finer and smaller details. Additionally, the smaller laser spot of UV laser creates smaller "bubbles" inside the glass, and the gaps between each "bubble" can also be reduced. Therefore, UV laser excels in micron-level precision engraving, making it suitable for producing high-resolution, complex 3D patterns.
Less Material Heat Damage
As UV laser is classified as a cold light source, it generates much less heat compared to green laser. This means less thermal damage to the material during the engraving process, especially when engraving transparent materials like crystal and glass. It helps avoid thermal deformation or cracks on the surface, ensuring the engraved areas remain smooth and transparent.
Why Choose Our Machine?
Exquisitely detailed
Our UV laser technology offers much smaller laser spots compared to green-light lasers used by most competitors. This allows for far more intricate details, even on small-scale designs.
High & Stable Performance
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
In addition to 3D subsurface engraving, our UV laser can perform surface marking on a variety of materials, such as plastic, glass, wood, leather, paper, and silicone—something green-light laser machines cannot achieve.
Compact & Portable
Our machine is smaller and lighter, making it easy to transport and install in various settings.
Affordable
Despite its advanced features, our machine is priced at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of most laser subsurface engraving machines on the market.

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.
