Laser engraving is the most modern method of marking metal precisely, permanently and efficiently. Whether for serial numbers, nameplates or personalized engravings – stainless steel, aluminum, brass, titanium and other metals can be precisely processed with a fiber laser. This technology is not only fast and reliable, but offers unparalleled durability compared to classic engraving methods.
What is laser engraving?
Laser engraving is a non-contact process in which a focused laser beam picks up, evaporates or removes the material.
Difference to laser marking & laser etching
- Laser marking: Superficial marking without material removal
- Laser etching: chemical or deep surface processing
Laser engraving on metal – materials and applications
- Stainless steel: long-lasting markings, mechanical engineering
- Aluminium: Light metal labels, industrial components
- Brass & Copper: Signs, technical components
- Titanium: Medical instruments, special components
- Tool steel: Precise tool labeling
- Gold & Silver: Jewelry engravings
- Anodized Aluminum: personalized metal signs
Which lasers are suitable for metal?
- Fiber laser: Standard for all types of metal, high precision, durable
- UV laser: fine markings, e.g. B. on thin metals
- CO2 laser: restricted for certain types of metal (mostly coated)
Advantages of laser engraving on metal
- Precision: Microscopic accuracy
- Durability: Weather-resistant, abrasion-resistant
- Flexibility: Individual pieces or series production
- Sustainability: Contactless, no chemical waste
- Safety & CE marking: Suitable for industrial components
Typical industrial applications
