X-Y table laser engravers work only on a two-dimensional surface. Others are capable of engraving on cylindrical objects or irregularly-shaped objects through the use of mirrors that direct the laser to the focus point. Sub-surface laser engravers are capable of focusing a laser below a transparent surface to produce a three-dimensional image that appears suspended within a crystal or glass object.
Until the beginnings of the 20th century, scanning laser welder was done via a process known as forge welding, which consists of heating up the pieces to be fixed together and then hammering them until they amalgamate. With the advent of electricity, welding became easier and faster, and it played an important part of the industry scene during World War I and II. There are different welding processes in use in modern times.
