LD Laser Engraving is a division of LaserDestiny.
I started this Business end 2016 to help people with IT Related problems.
Since then I also started with Laser Engraving and 3D printing.
First of all I purchased a small cheap Laser Engraver at the Gadget Shop and started experimenting. As I saw how it all worked, and have Mechanical engineering as a background, I started building my own Laser Engraver and 3D Printer.
I did a lot of research on the electronics and CNC Machining, and then settled for a design, controller board and laser.
it took about 5 months to build the Laser Engraver and then upgraded the laser from a 1 watt to a 15 watt blue laser.
Currently I am running the IT Business but on the side running a laser engraving business, It gives me such satisfaction to see people enjoying the laser engraved gifts that I made for them, and to be able to help people with IT related problems.
