I've seen those crystal cubes that have the "floating" text in the center. I'm looking for someone who does these. Any leads?

Thanks,
Kevin

I don't know anyone to recommend, but if you google 3d laser there many places advertised, including Chinese manufacturers
of the machines.

I think Walmart may have ruined that business but have a look there to see if they still offer the service.

I use Precision Laser Art for my 3-D subsurface engraving. Do a Google search for them. I know at one time they used to supply all of the 3-D engraved crystals to Sam's Club and Walmart. The owner is Mark Dickens. I like using Mark because I know they are licensed to use this marking process.

I did a google search and found many different suppliers, but always like to check here as well. Thanks everyone for your help and input.

They used to be done in the "malls" around town. I think the novelty wore off and they disappeared.

If you are looking to get some made for yourself. I believe that Walmart or Sam's Clubs offer them in the Photo area.

The problem with these is people see the 'cheeeeeap' ones coming out of China, and when you quote them a price to etch dead uncle Bob into one, they tell you then can get Elvis for 3 bucks, and he's just as dead ! In all seriousness, competing with what many customer conceive as a dollar store product, and trying to get what a custom job should be worth is a tough row to hoe..
