Which UV laser engraver would you recommend?
I run a small customisation business and already have both diode and CO₂ lasers, so I’m not completely new to laser engraving.
Lately, I’ve been wanting to experiment with more glass products, especially 3D engraving inside glass and crystal. That’s what got me looking into UV lasers.
The problem is, UV still feels like a much smaller and newer category compared to diode and CO₂, and I’m having a hard time figuring out which brands are actually reliable. A lot of the videos I’ve found are demos or sponsored reviews, so it’s difficult to tell what long-term ownership is really like.
I’d especially love to hear from anyone using one for glass or 3D crystal engraving. Are UV machines generally stable enough for regular small-business production, or do they still require a lot of troubleshooting? And which one would you recommend buying?
