A. Max Daetwyler Corp, Huntersville, North Carolina, has been working on a laser engraver for a number of years.
They found out that copper explodes when hit with a laser, so they had to develop a new cylinder alloy.
Obviously, this new alloy cannot be plated in existing copper tanks. To my knowledge, no one has successfully developed a laser gravure engraver for copper.
