Precision Laser Engraving in Toronto & GTA
High-detail commercial and industrial laser engraving in Toronto & the GTA delivering tactile 3D relief, mold cavity texturing, instrument panels, custom branding, and architectural plaques.
Laser Engraving Capabilities & Quality Standards
Direct 3D Mold & Die Cavity Ablation Without EDM Electrodes
Multi-layer pulsed fiber laser ablation machines complex 3D reliefs, date-code inserts, and progressive stamping dies directly into hardened H13, D2, and S7 tool steel.
±2 µm Per-Pass Depth Accuracy & Burr-Free Ra < 0.8 µm Finish
Sub-nanosecond pulse control vaporizes metal cleanly without recast ridges, eliminating manual stone polishing on intricate mold cavities.
Deep-Relief Brass Plaques, Luxury Hardware & Custom Awards
Precision deep engraving on C260 architectural brass, bronze, stainless steel, hardwoods, and optical crystal.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions
How deep can Lumicision laser engrave into hardened tool steel?
Using multi-pass high-frequency pulsed fiber ablation, we can engrave from shallow 0.002 inch (50 microns) surface textures up to 0.250 inch (6.35 mm) deep 3D cavities directly into hardened tool steels (including H13, D2, and S7 up to 62 HRC) without causing micro-cracking or tool deflection.
Can you reproduce 3D bas-relief sculptures and grayscale depth maps?
Yes. Our laser software interprets 16-bit and 32-bit grayscale height maps, slicing them into hundreds of sub-micron z-axis ablation layers to generate organic 3D contours, mold cavity textures, and coin dies with optical surface finishes.
Does laser engraving affect heat-treatment or cause residual stress in metal parts?
No. The pulse duration of our industrial engraving lasers is in the nanosecond-to-picosecond regime. Material is instantly vaporized via cold optical sublimation with virtually zero thermal conduction into the core substrate, keeping heat-treatment hardness and dimensions completely intact.
What drawing and 3D file formats can I supply for an engraving quote?
We support DXF, DWG, Adobe Illustrator (AI), SVG, Vector PDF, and 3D grayscale displacement maps (TIFF, PNG), as well as STEP models for multi-axis positional alignment.
Engineer-Reviewed Fast-Track RFQ
Unlike automated black-box algorithms that reject complex tolerances or overcharge for simple bends, every file uploaded to Lumicision is reviewed by a senior fabrication engineer—with a 24 to 48-hour guaranteed quote response time.
