Why laser engraving is the perfect solution for custom gifts

Choosing an original gift to surprise family, friends, or colleagues can be a challenge, but there’s an easy way to make almost any present so much more personal. Laser engraving allows us to customise everything from home décor to jewellery and tech accessories, adding a personal touch to make gifts more memorable.

Laser engraving is a versatile technology that uses a concentrated beam of light to create precise, permanent markings on almost any material. The Creality Falcon2 Pro 60W Laser Cutter and Engraver makes the technique easier, faster and safer than ever. While Creality already had 22W and 40W laser engravers, the new 60W device is more powerful and even more versatile since it can engrave on practically any material thanks to its intelligent 3-level Adjustment Beam.

 What gifts can you engrave?

You can laser engrave on most materials, including metal, glass, wood, leather, glass, acrylic and plastic, so the options for creating personalised gifts are almost endless. You could customise phone cases or notebooks for friends and family with names, monograms or even intricate patterns and custom art. Gifts like cups and mugs are also good candidates for engraving, or you could personalise jewellery in gold, silver, stainless steel or acrylic with special dates or symbols.

For more imaginative ideas, you could try creating engraved postcards, or you could become a DIY creator and make your own decorative plaques, clocks or other decorations for the home by cutting and combining layers in materials like wood, glass and metal.

What you choose to engrave on your gifts you give is totally up to you. If you’re creating business gifts to drive customer loyalty, you might want to engrave your brand’s logo. You can also engrave barcodes and serial numbers. But if it’s a gift for a loved one, you’ll probably want to engrave a personal message that has meaning for them.

What to consider when choosing a laser engraver 

The right amount of power is crucial. Too little power won’t be effective for the material you want to use, and too much can burn the material and prevent a neat, precise result. This is one of the areas in which the Creality Falcon2 Pro 60W Laser Cutter and Engraver is such a game changer. It has an intelligent three-level adjustable beam, which allows us to adjust the power of the light beam between 60W, 40W and 22W with a single click: super fast, super easy. 

Three lasers in one machine allows for the utmost efficiency. The 60W max power setting can be used to make large-scale home decorations, cutting thick wood for customised wooden furniture such as chairs, tables, mirror frames, for example. It can also cut thin metal sheets for customised metal jewellery and rubber materials and labels.

With 40W fast cutting power, you can efficiently cut 10mm basswood, and with the 22W laser power, you can cut 5mm bassboard quickly and achieve fine, intricate engraving. 

Engraving can often take time, but the Falcon2 Pro 60W’s high-speed batch production makes it efficient and time-saving. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to set up and use for DIY beginners as well as professional artists and designers.

You also want to ensure a laser engraver will be suitable for the space you have available. Here the Falcon2 Pro stands out because of its push-pull cover, which makes it suitable for use in small spaces while also allowing for optimum placement of material in the device. Pull-out drawers help store creative debris and clean up quickly.

How to get the best results

Using the right power for the right project also helps ensure optimum results. Many high-powered laser engravers lack the precision and delicacy required for more intricate work, but the Falcon2 Pro 60W’s ability to quickly change between three powers means it can create precise detail while also providing the power needed to cut more demanding materials.

It also has a built-in camera for auto-positioning, which helps ensure accuracy. Most engraving systems lack this automatic or assistive positioning, forcing users to rely on a manual preview. This can result in errors. But the Falcon2 Pro 60W has an integrated camera in the protective cover to capture the whole creation process. When connected by USB, the positioning function is activated through software and provides accurate previews, significantly improving success rates for creations. And for batch creations, distances between the different items being engraved can be adjusted automatically through the software.

As a bonus for even more intricate work, initial purchases of the Falcon2 Pro include an additional 1.6W laser module. This extremely high-precision tool can engrave precise details in wood, leather, and acrylic and precious metals and can be used to create unique gifts. It can even engrave photos, allowing you to turn beautiful moments, such as wedding photos, into unique mementos.

How to ensure laser engraving is safe  

Laser engraving produces smoke and fumes, and effective management of these is crucial, both for your own health and safety and for the quality of the engraving. That’s why the Falcon2 Pro 60W is fully enclosed to safely contain smoke and debris while reducing noise and providing a barrier between the laser and the operator. This and a host of other safety features mean that you can fully operate the device without the hassle of having to wear protective goggles.

With its efficient three-laser system and user-friendly setup, the Falcon2 Pro 60W can allow both beginners and professionals to quickly start creating unique personalised gifts to surprise friends and family or even go into business selling novel creations.
