CNC Engraving

Marking into a surface rather than cutting through it — for name plates, plaques, awards, and panels that need permanent, precise text or logos.

Engraving is a different job from cutting — instead of a bit or laser passing all the way through the material, it cuts a shallow, controlled depth into the surface, leaving text, logos, or patterns marked permanently into the material itself rather than as a separate applied layer. It's what we use for name plates, designation boards, award plaques, control panel labelling, and any signage where paint or a printed sticker could eventually peel or fade but an engraved mark won't.

We engrave into acrylic, brass, aluminium, and wood depending on the job — a brass name plate gets a different depth and fill treatment than an engraved acrylic panel, since the two materials read very differently once cut. Many engraved pieces get a colour fill afterward — paint or enamel worked into the engraved lines to make the text stand out clearly against the base material, rather than leaving it as a bare, hard-to-read cut line.

This is precise, repeatable work by nature — the same file engraves identically whether it's one plate or fifty, which matters for office signage sets or multi-unit installations where every plate needs to match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Printed or painted text sits on top of the surface and can fade, scratch off, or peel over time. Engraved text is physically cut into the material, so it can't peel — worst case, the colour fill in the grooves fades slightly, but the lettering itself stays intact.
