What is rotary engraving ?
Rotary engraving is a machining process that consists of 'hollowing-out' the material using a drill. The material is removed by cutting tools, "engraving drills" of different shapes and sizes. This process is used to engrave characters, symbols or shapes.
The drill follows the machine's machining toolpaths defined using CAD/CAM software (Computer-Assisted Design / Computer-Assisted Manufacturing). Rotary engraving; precision and repeatability.
Rotary engraving machines are suitable for almost all materials :
- Metals,
- Alloys,
- Wood,
- Stone,
- Plastics
- etc...
