One of the best ways to make laser engravings is by using a compact desktop laser engraver. Desktop laser engravers are smaller versions of the free-standing machines and allow for smaller, high quality engravings to be made on a variety of different surfaces.

Desktop engravers are often used for both professional as well as personal use. They are recommended for beginners who are getting started in the craft of engraving as they are straightforward to use and easy to handle. The price tag of a desktop engraver is also at a good level for those looking to buy their first personal machine.

Desktop Laser Engravers often come equipped with a V4 control system which allows for one-click engraving settings to be used. They also come with a selection of stepper motors and are compatible with multiple types of control software.

Certain engravers also feature hidden fasteners which offer more free space around the sculpture area, which is especially useful for the handheld nature of a desktop machine.
