Easy step-by-step IR Upgrade | Engraving Metals and Plastics using your Laser Engraver



Do you need an IR Laser Module for your Laser Engraver?

In this video, I upgrade the Mecpow M1 with a 1.2W IR Laser Module and test its real-world performance.
You’ll see which materials it can engrave, which ones it can’t, and how it behaves compared to standard Laser Engraving.

Based on the results of these tests, you can decide for yourself whether this IR laser upgrade is the right choice for your projects.
