Hello all,

I'm new when it comes to these machines but my wife is looking to invest to streamline her current business process.

She makes hand print charms utilising a scan of the print, which is then made into a stamp using a UV gel system. That stamp is then pressed into precious metal clay, fired and polished. The whole process is quite labour intensive and time consuming so we would like to replace with a machine to engrave the scan directly onto a sterling silver blank.

The requirements are as follows:

- Desktop machine (smaller the better) as it may be transported to fairs...etc
- Must be able to engrave to approx 10 x 10mm scale
- Must be able to engrave below surface (approx 1mm) rather then just etch the surface
- Must be suitable for precious metals such as sterling silver
- Also good if it's able to engrave acrylic as possible future sideline

I have seen a couple of machines that hint at being able to do the above but cannot find hard evidence:

Roland EGX-350
Roland EGX-300
Trend CNC Mini Plus

If anyone has any recommendations or info on the above it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
