There are two types of Laser Engraving: raster and vector.
Raster engraving is the most common technique, particularly suitable for creating solid engravings on large surfaces.
Vector engraving, also known as scoring, on the other hand, is designed to create fine, precise lines. It uses a vector to define the engraving pattern, i.e. a series of lines and curves that are removed one by one from the workpiece.
