If you’ve been curious about 3D laser engraving, no estas solo. This advanced technique has taken the world of customization and manufacturing by storm—offering unmatched detail, profundidad, and design freedom on everything from trophies to industrial molds. Si eres un entusiasta de bricolaje, propietario de una pequeña empresa, or workshop pro, understanding how 3D laser engraving works (and how to choose the right machine) can unlock new levels of creativity and profit.
En esta guía, we’ll break down how 3D laser engraving differs from traditional engraving, what equipment you need, practical use cases, and why machines like the ComMarker Titán 1 are changing the game.
What Is 3D Laser Engraving?
3D laser engraving is a high-precision engraving method that creates raised or recessed surfaces with multiple depths. Unlike traditional 2D laser engraving, which only marks the surface of the material, 3D engraving allows for full-depth sculpting—perfect for logos, textured patterns, or photorealistic reliefs.
Using specialized software and a high-powered laser, the machine adjusts the beam’s intensity and focal length dynamically to carve complex, layered shapes into wood, metal, el plastico, or even stone.
How 3D Laser Engraving Works
The process involves several key components:
- 3D File Preparation: Designs are created or imported into a compatible software (p.ej., Quemar luz, EZCAD3, or 3D CAD tools) and converted into grayscale depth maps or 3D slice files.
- Layered Laser Engraving: The laser engraver interprets the gray levels as Z-depth, firing at different intensities and patterns to achieve depth gradients.
- Multi-Pass Processing: 3D engraving requires multiple passes—sometimes hundreds—to gradually carve deeper areas while preserving fine detail.
Ideal materials incluir:
- Latón, aluminio, and other soft metals
- Madera dura (arce, nuez, cereza)
- Acrylic and cast resin
- Marble and slate
Why Use 3D Laser Engraving?
Whether you’re building high-end awards or industrial tooling, 3D laser engraving delivers:
✅ Stunning visual depth
✅ Tactile textures
✅ Ultra-precise branding
✅ Durability for heavy-use applications
3D laser engraving is also ideal for customers who want luxury finishes, como:
- Raised logos on metal business cards
- Deep-etched nameplates or signage
- Textured grips or sculpted designs on tools
- Personalized military challenge coins

Real-World Applications of 3D Laser Engraving
| Industry | Caso de uso |
|---|---|
| Joyas & Crafts | 3D logos, crestas familiares, antique-style engraving |
| Automotor | Textured trim, serial numbers on molded parts |
| Military & Awards | Challenge coins, engraved emblems |
| Interior Design | Textured tiles, wall art in wood or acrylic |

Sample Laser Settings for 3D Engraving
| Material | Velocidad | Fuerza | Frecuencia | Pases | Notas |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latón | 300 mm/s | 90–100% | 30–50 kHz | 200+ | Clean with ultrasonic bath after |
| Walnut Wood | 500 mm/s | 60% | 25 kilociclos | 100 | Use ventilation; test in layers |
| Acrílico | 400 mm/s | 80% | 20 kilociclos | 50–80 | Cool after every 10 pasa |
Always run a test pass before committing to the full project.
Desafíos comunes (And How to Solve Them)
❌ Calentamiento excesivo: Let your machine rest between deep passes, especially on acrylic or resin.
❌ Profundidad inconsistente: Calibrate your Z-axis and clean your lens regularly.
❌ Blurry Detail: Use grayscale maps or 3D relief files instead of flat vectors.
💡 Para la punta: In LightBurn, enable grayscale mode and adjust your DPI to 500+ for smooth gradients.
Is 3D Laser Engraving Right for You?
If you’re already in the laser business and want to level up your offerings, 3D laser engraving is the logical next step. It’s a skill that commands higher prices, unlocks premium markets, and gives your brand an edge.
