Not knowing enough about machining and lasers and such, I thought I might ask.

at only one watt it doesn't have a huge amount of power.  it won't sublimate any metal i can think of - i doubt it can even handle thermally conductive plastics.

i would think of it as a printer that uses heat to leave a dot - not burn away a substrate, just discolor it.

A CNC machine would probably be more appropriate.

I saw a $79 price tag on something I know less than nothing about and thought best to get more info.
