Other Engravable Materials

There are differences between artificial materials and natural materials, and the textures are diversified.

Photo	Suitability	Advantages
		Depending on the stone, materials that are more suitable for surface engraving are shales and marble.
		Disadvantages
		The engraving effect is usually not obvious when using stones with lighter colors.

Photo	Suitability	Advantages
		Textures can be easily created on the cement surface.
		Disadvantages
		Particle size of cements will affect the overall engraving result.

Lightweight and low density, commonly used in molds and cushioning materials

Photo	Suitability	Advantages
		Can cut with extremely low power and not easy to produce burn marks.
		Disadvantages
		Need to keep good ventilation because pungent odor will be produced while engraving and the material is more flammable.

Photo	Suitability	Advantages

Photo	Suitability	Advantages
		Eco-friendly,non-toxic.
		Disadvantages
		Instantly be hardened when heated, so it is not suitable for cutting, if you need to cut, it is recommended to use scissors or blades. Caution: Necessary to increase the cleaning frequency of the reflective mirrors to avoid them from sticking to the dusts and affecting the laser output.

Problem	Solution	Possible Drawback
Engraving is not visible	Increase Power and repeat engraving	Possible to get crude results
Difficult to cut off	Cut with other tools : scissors, utility knife	Shapes are not identical
Silicone is dusty after engraving	Clean with a toothbrush	Consumption of toothbrush
