Laser Engraving on Surfaces!
Laser engraving is a non-contact process where a focused laser beam removes material, creating permanent engravings, logos, and text. Plastics, metals, and wood are suitable for this process as they produce clear contrasts and abrasion-resistant results.
Advantages of Laser Engraving on Surfaces
-
Highest Precision: Engravings down to the micrometer range
-
Permanent & Abrasion-Resistant: Resistant to chemicals, heat, and UV radiation
-
Flexible: Suitable for individual pieces and series production
-
Non-Contact: No tool wear, no material deformation
-
Customizable: Logos, serial numbers, nameplates
