Engraving Images in Window Glass


Two weeks ago I was window shopping and passing by a jewelry store, the huge watch image engraved in its window glass caught my attention. I took a picture this master piece of laser engraving (See picture on the left). As you can tell, the detail of the watch is very clear, it looks even better with a underneath LED lights flashing.

To engrave this big image inside a piece of 5x4 feet, 1/4 inch thick glass, company in business have to use engraving machine with a large size platform. The platform is usually 4500×3000mm or 14 feet long 10 feet wide. It will take several hours to a day to do the work, depending the actual engrave area.

Not a bad idea for decorating a living room window (If you have the money) !
