Engraving melamine is very similar to engraving regular wood with the added benefit of a consistent
surface finish and uniform base material composition. Unlike regular wood that has grain patterns and
density variations, melamine, when laser engraved, produces a flat and even engraved area. This
characteristic gives this material superior engraving and paint filling qualities. Masking can be used if
desired but it is just as easy to spray the engraved area with water and wipe down with a chamois cloth to
remove the smoke residue. Since the top surface material is consistent in texture and color, engraving
photographs or highly detailed images produces exceptional results. Refer to the next example on
engraving photographs and/or ClipArt.
