2.5D Precision Engraving Services
Advanced CNC engraving with depth variation for premium products. From subtle surface textures to dramatic relief designs - precision down to 0.02mm on metal, wood, acrylic, and stone. Equipment arriving Q1 2026.
What is 2.5D Engraving?
2.5D engraving creates variable depth designs on flat surfaces - not quite full 3D, but far beyond traditional flat laser engraving. Think of it as "relief engraving" where different areas are cut to different depths, creating dramatic visual effects with light and shadow.

Frequently Asked Questions
When exactly will the equipment arrive?
Equipment delivery is scheduled for January 2026 with installation and calibration completing by end of Q1 2026 (March 31). Pre-order customers will be notified 2 weeks before production starts.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
Yes. Pre-order deposits are fully refundable up until production starts. Once manufacturing begins, 50% restocking fee applies. We want you confident in your purchase.
What file formats do you need?
Vector files (AI, SVG, DXF) for 2D designs, or grayscale images (PNG, JPG) where darker = deeper. We can also work from CAD files (STEP, IGES) or even hand sketches - we ll convert them to toolpaths.
How deep can you engrave?
Depends on material: Metals (0.1-3mm), Wood (0.5-6mm), Acrylic (0.5-10mm), Stone (0.1-1mm). Deeper is possible for some materials but may affect turnaround time and cost.
Do you offer design services?
Yes! Our designers can create or optimize artwork for 2.5D engraving at $75/hour. Pre-order customers get 1 hour of design consultation free. We can convert photos, logos, or concepts into depth-map ready artwork.
What about color?
Engraving removes material, so natural material color shows through. For color: paint filling (hand-painted into grooves), laser marking (for metals), or use colored materials like anodized aluminum or stained wood.
Can you match Pantone colors?
For painted/filled areas, yes. We can color-match using automotive-grade paints or powder coating. Raw engraved areas will show natural material color.
What are setup fees for?
Setup covers: CAD/CAM programming, toolpath generation, material prep, machine calibration, and test cuts. Waived for batch orders (50+ identical pieces).
