A new entry-level engraving laser performs “deep engraving,“ a process that removes material deeper and faster than other engraving methods. The Foba G5 from Virtek Vision Int. Inc., Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, (virtek.ca), handles 3D deep engraving for tool molds, mold inserts, stamping and printing dies, and EDM electrodes. The G5 can also generate decorative engraving. The laser has an automated 500-mm Z travel and comes with software for running engraving jobs.
