Laser engraving on a metal tank

The project

As part of Anna Carcelén’s work, Archicercle laser-engraved a logo onto a tank intended for oil filtration. The intervention focused on customising the metal surface of the piece.

The distinctive aspect of the commission was the surface: the logo had to be engraved onto the tank’s curved wall. The work was carried out without a lathe, as the motif covered only a small area. This condition matters: the example demonstrates an option for small-area engravings, rather than for any size of design on a curved surface.

The tank has a cylindrical body, a lid, side handles and a tap near the base. The logo is positioned on the side. Archicercle’s contribution was the engraving within an external project; the studio is not credited with designing or manufacturing the vessel.
