For consumers who want gadget personalization that’s more permanent than vinyl decals, Adafruit offers custom laser etching of laptops, iPods, phones, cameras and more.
It isn’t the first company to offer laser etching, but it is the first to freely share its business model with other entrepreneurs interested in setting up a customization shop.
Adafruit Laser Services was launched by Phillip Torrone and Limor Fried. The duo will freely share information on how to use a high powered laser system, etching techniques, business practices and templates.
The laser etching machine used by Adafruit is an Epilog, priced at around USD $20,000 and capable of doing highly detailed etching (1200 dpi).
