Laser engraving has many applications thanks to its versatility and has become one of the most important tools for the production of personalized items and great detail because, in addition to having great precision, it can be used in a variety of materials which It increases, even more, its applications.

Different processes for uses of engraving:

As mentioned, the laser equipment allows having enough power to cut a wide variety of materials plus it has so much precision and control that it is possible to use it to engrave Die sinking and marks in different ways such as to identify personal items. All these uses of engraving can be programmed through the computer and any design can be created through the program and let the laser cutting equipment do the rest.

Many materials and applications of cutting and engraving:

Currently, the uses of engraving are useful in many sectors as areas full of artistic creativity for example in the design of personalized items, the creation of merchandise products, production of labeled items, trophies, and crafts of great detail. In the same way, it’s great precision and good finishes allow it to be used also in sectors of mechanical engineering, in the manufacture of parts of the automotive industry and even in the electronics industry.

As for the materials capable of being cut and engraved, there are ample options. Among the most common are acrylics, sheets, rubber, leather, paper, metal, stones, plastic, foam, and even textiles. So the infinite options for the use of engraving are really great, allowing customizing almost any material that we have either with elaborate designs, initials, portraits, barcodes, stamps and many options available to let creativity flow.

Laser cutting and engraving machines are used for many different applications and materials. Here you will find some examples of the most common sectors and applications of the laser cutting, engraving, and marking machines. Each sector presents a series of peculiarities and distant demands.

Laser applications in the industry:

The codes marking and logos for product traceability is one of the most widespread applications of laser engraving. However, following are some of the applications, in which laser engraving uses:

•    Labeling of products as protection against plagiarism.
•    Control panel engraved.
•    Functional marking with laser e.g. diameter, size, and etc.
•    Production information e.g. serial number or date of manufacture.
•    Data matrix code for quality assurance.
•    Nameplates with an electrical branding iron.
•    Different codes for permanent traceability.
