Laser Marking Laser marking is a non-contact process that uses a laser beam to create permanent marks, patterns, or designs on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, glass, and composites. In laser marking, the focused laser beam interacts with the material's surface, causing localized heating, melting, ablation, or color change, depending on the material and laser parameters. Laser marking offers advantages such as high precision, fast processing speeds, and the ability to produce durable, high-contrast marks with minimal impact on the material's integrity.
Laser marking finds applications in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, packaging, and consumer goods, for product identification, branding, serialization, traceability, and aesthetic purposes. Common laser marking techniques include engraving, etching, annealing, foaming, and color marking, each offering unique capabilities and effects for different materials and applications. |
