Make your imprint.
Put your personal flair on different surfaces, or watch our machine carve out an object of your choosing. Our laser can engrave crisp designs or slice the finest lines for your project in just minutes.
Our team can engrave items for you for free. To get started, click the button above to start a project, and we’ll reach out to schedule a conversation.
The materials and filetypes we can use to make your engraving will vary depending on the project. Generally, a PDF file to engrave on natural wood, fabric or paper is a safe bet. Our team will confirm with you for sure once you submit your project. If you have other materials in mind, just let us know, and we can talk about what’s possible.
A library card is not required to get something engraved, but signing up for a library card gives you access to design, coding and engineering classes on LinkedIn Learning, in addition to other resources.

What is laser engraving?
Did you know that the word "laser" is actually an acronym? It stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. In other words, the machine's mirrors guide a beam of light through a lens, which turns the light into a pinpoint hot enough to melt or vaporize the material underneath. When we send the machine your design, it then uses this as a map to guide the laser in just the right pattern to produce the pattern or object you want.
What can I make with a laser engraver?
Engravers are a great way to customize or create detailed, polished projects out of flat materials. Try out some of the following for your next project:
- Carve your name on a dog tag necklace
- Produce your own balsa wood bookmark
- Engrave your address into your wallet
- Create a unique sign or plaque as a gift
- Carve a cartoon onto acrylic to make a pop culture tabletop light
- Put special names or dates onto a picture frame
- Make unique invitations for your special day
Tips and Tricks
Did you know you can design your own images to make with the laser engraver? One way to do this is through software like Inkscape (which is free and open source), Adobe Illustrator or CoreIDRAW. Never used these programs before? You can get started using the lessons available with your library card on LinkedIn Learning.
