====== Laser Engraver ======

Laser engravers allow you to create your own designs out of wood, paper, or certain foams and plastics. The laser engraver uses a laser to burn the material with high precision. It can either engrave a design into the material or it can cut out pieces of the material. With some special preparation it can even engrave designs on glass and aluminium.
