Gravotech engraving materials

An engraving material sheet is generally composed of several layers (often with a PMMA or ABS base), covered by a surface on which engraving or marking can be performed.

At Gravotech, these materials can have different compositions:

• a surface and a base: a material called 2-PLY;
• a surface, an intermediate layer and a base: a material called 3-PLY;
• a surface, a base and a second surface: double-sided material sheet.

How it works?

During engraving, removal of the top layer allows the base and a different colour to appear. Depending on the desired effect, the layers and base can be of different thicknesses. The aim: to create a readable contrast. A multitude of information can be engraved on this type of material:

• text,
• logo or drawing,
• pictogram,
• plan...
