What is Impact Etching?

Impact Etching is a revolutionary technology, designed for use in the Monument Industry. The image is created by a diamond-tipped needle hitting the stone. The Etcher's controller changes the strength and frequency of hits to achieve required characteristics of the image. The etching head is driven by a precision German-manufactured 3-D linear drive with a gap sensor that automatically maintains an optimal distance between the needle and stone - allowing processing of uneven surfaces. The result is an image that is as close as as possible to the original, and has the quality of etching performed by the artist, for a fraction of the cost.

How does it compare to laser?

Impact Etching does not require stone to be ideally black, level or flat. Since it is similar to hand etching it penetrates stone much deeper than a laser, which burns the surface of the stone.
