- Annotation: The article presents a systematic review of modern methods of laser processing of metals for design applications. The physical principles, technological parameters, and resulting visual-tactile effects of six key methods are considered – laser annealing, etching, engraving, ablative processing, polishing (remelting), and dark marking. Particular attention is paid to the creation of colour and textural solutions for product customisation. Based on a comparative analysis, practical recommendations are provided for selecting a technology depending on the decorative effect, material type, and application area. Laser technologies are shown to be an environmentally friendly and highly effective tool for implementing artistic solutions in industrial design, jewellery art, and premium hardware manufacturing.
- Keywords: laser processing, surface design, colour marking, laser annealing, laser engraving, customisation, decorative coatings, metals
