Engraving Marble

Overview

Laser engraving marble will bleach out the color and reveal a white colored stone underneath. A light engraving will show considerable detail and looks striking against a solid black marble.

Engraving Marble

Start with placing the black marble on the engraving table. Focus the laser directly on top of the marble piece. A standard lens is recommended.

Set the power and speed to the recommended settings from your manual. Examine the engraving without moving the marble piece. If the engraving color is not white enough, run the job again.

The marble will engrave fine with a wide range of power settings. Too much power will cause the graphic to look washed out.

Other Tips

The laser will engrave about .005" into the marble which can be filled with gold inks to achieve a different look. After engraving, brush on the gold ink and wipe off the excess with a soft cloth. For deep engraving, use the laser to make a sandblasting mask by engraving through a Mylar mask.
