Difference between engraving and etching

[evermorian]

Welcome!

Here is a previous discussion:

Is etching the same as engraving or is it different?

Some people say “etching” instead of “engraving.” The “First Three Prints” tutorial will take you step by step through the fundamentals: https://glowforge.com/support/topic/first-three-prints/welcome-to-the-glowforge-app-and-your-first-prints Once you’ve gone through those, you’ll have a pretty good grounding for using the GF. For more advanced / specific questions, take a look at the “matrix,” which is linked in the first post of the Glowforge Tips and Tricks area of the forum. Happy forging…

Posting in Problems and Support opens a ticket with Glowforge support. They won’t be able to help you with this. So, I am moving this to the appropriate category.
