Hello everyone, I wanted to know if the GLOWFORGE pro can engrave on stainless steel? For example, like this recognition plaque? [image]

No, engraving metal of any sort is not possible with your GF. However, it can mark various metals with the use of various marking sprays (or even brake cleaner). Try searching the forum for heaps of info and examples.

Or a two-tone acrylic that looks like brushed steel.

Thanks a lot! I’ll search the forum for what you tell me to see if I can find examples… :pray:t4::smiling_face:

Good option, thanks! :pray:t4::smiling_face:

and to be clear - no 40w CO2 laser can engrave metal, you need upwards of 150w to even get close.

FWIW - your example photo doesn’t look engraved. It looks like either marking spray, which you CAN do with your GF, or direct print.

Although it’s expensive, Cermark works perfectly for me.

Hello, Could you explain to me more about that type of process you mention? And with that I could use the glowforge?
