Laser Cleaning by Rara Avis Design is now Engraver Savers! 〰️
Do you own a laser engraver and hate doing the cleaning and maintenance?
We’ve got a guy for that.
Regular cleaning and maintenance is critical to keeping your laser running in top form. Service intervals for various systems on a given laser vary, and brand by brand they vary, but Rara Avis Design has partnered with a talented laser technician to offer supportive services to laser owners in the PA-DE-NJ tri-state area.
Our technicians are experienced in working with Universal, Trotec, Aeon, Thunder, Boss, Omtech, Glowforge, Full Spectrum Laser, and other popular CO2 lasers.
While this will not replace a technician for serious laser repairs, our laser cleaning service is designed to keep your laser running smoothly which will help avoid costly and time-consuming repairs that put your laser out of commission.

Client Testimonials
“This was our first time using the service. From the very first phone call, they were professional. On the day of the cleaning, Damon was on time, explained what he would be doing and very personable. I was positively shocked to see how exceptionally well my machine looked after it was cleaned. It looked brand new and ran even better after the mirrors were aligned. We will definitely be using them again to maintain our machine. I would 100% recommend them. ”
“I couldn’t be happier with the Glowforge laser cleaning service! My machine now runs like it’s brand new - especially after the air assist fan cleaning. The team was professional, fast, and incredibly thorough, making sure every part was cleaned to perfection. They were happy to comply with some of my specific requests, too. They kept me updated throughout the process, and I noticed a huge difference in performance after the cleaning. This service saved me a lot of time and hassle. If you’re looking for top-notch care for your laser, I highly recommend this service!”
