Can you laser engrave concrete, and what materials or surfaces perform best during engraving?

[JacobWang]

I thought, “Why not?” I’ve seen lasers burn through all kinds of things, so concrete should be easy.

Sure enough, a quick look at YouTube showed this: yes, a laser can carve into concrete!

You can use a laser for engraving concrete, but the results may be relatively coarse. This is because concrete is composed of granular materials like sand and cement, resulting in an uneven density.
