Blazering: Extended Merging Technologies
Blazering: Extended Merging Technologies workshops are unparalleled engraving experiences designed to revolutionize your approach to etching and engraving. Workshop participants gain insight on how to upsell to glass customers by transitioning from their laser's shallow etch to the smooth-sanded, deep-carve capabilities of a sandcarver. In addition, participants will work with substrates that are traditionally difficult with lasers, such as polished metals and hard ceramic glazes.
Instructors are experts in their respective technologies and fields. While teaching the techniques of merging technologies, each representative will also give in-depth demonstrations of individual technologies and their uses.
These hands-on technical seminars will show you how to combine the precision of laser engraving with the depth and texture of sandcarving for the personalization market. Come and learn the ins and outs of blazering (the combination of sandblasting and laser engraving).
What’s Included in Your Blazering Registration:
Hands-On Training: Dive into laser engraving with Trotec lasers and master sandcarving techniques using top-tier IKONICS Imaging equipment
Personalized Projects: Blast and take home your own customized glass pieces created during class!

Technology Summit Workshops
Merging Laser Engraving, Sandcarving, and Complementary Technologies
Technology Summit workshops are immersive, hands-on learning experiences designed to expand the way you approach engraving, personalization, and decorated product creation. Participants will discover how to combine the precision of laser engraving with the depth, texture, and premium finish of sandcarving, while also exploring how these processes can work alongside other complementary technologies to create more versatile and profitable offerings.
Led by experts in their respective fields, this workshop gives attendees the opportunity to see each technology on its own and, more importantly, learn how to use them together in practical, real-world applications. From elevating glass and crystal with deep-carved detail, to working with materials and finishes that can be challenging for laser-only production, Technology Summit is built to help you broaden your capabilities and uncover new creative and business opportunities.
These hands-on technical seminars are designed for personalization professionals who want to do more with the equipment and technologies they already have, while gaining confidence in adding new processes to their workflow. You will learn how to create standout pieces by combining multiple decorating methods for results that are both visually striking and commercially valuable.
