Information

      This project customizes a powder-coated metal tool box with a precise laser engraving. By engraving through the coating, the underlying metal becomes visible, creating a strong contrast and a clean, durable design. Perfect for labeling, personalization, or adding logos, this method transforms a simple tool box into a unique and professional-looking item.
