Frequently Asked Questions
Laser marking and laser engraving are both techniques that use a laser beam to create designs or markings on the surface of a material. But there are some key differences between the two:
- Marking Depth: Laser engraving is a process that removes material from the surface of the material to create a permanently etched design. Laser marking is to create a contrast on the surface of the material without removing any material, such as producing a color change on the surface of the material. Typically, laser marking is shallower than laser engraving.
- Speed: Laser marking is faster than laser engraving because it does not require as much power or as much time to create the desired mark. Laser engraving can take longer to complete, especially if deep engraving is required.
- Material applicability: Laser marking is suitable for a wider range of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and even some organic materials. However, laser engraving is usually better for harder materials like metal, stone, and glass.
- Precision: Laser marking can create finer details and sharper lines than laser engraving, making it a better choice for intricate designs or small text.
- Applications: Laser marking is often used for applications such as part identification, barcodes, and serial numbers, while laser engraving is often used for personalization, decoration, and artwork.
In summary, while both laser marking and laser engraving are designed to use lasers to create designs and marks on surfaces, laser marking is generally faster, shallower, and suitable for a wider range of materials, while laser engraving is generally suitable for harder materials and commonly used For personalization and decoration.
Laser marking is a technology that uses a laser beam to engrave or mark the surface of a material. Materials that can be laser marked depend on the type of laser and the specific application. In general, the following materials can be laser marked:
- Metals: Laser marking is commonly used to mark metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and silver among other metals.
- Plastics: Many types of plastics can be laser marked, including PVC, polycarbonate, polypropylene, and ABS.
- Glass: Glass can be laser marked, but it requires a special type of laser—UV laser. It can be used for marking glass materials such as soda lime glass, borosilicate glass, and tempered glass.
- Ceramics: Laser marking can usually be used to mark ceramics, such as alumina, and zirconia.
- Wood: Laser marking can be used to mark wood, including plywood, MDF, and solid wood.
- Leather: Laser marking is commonly used to create custom designs on leather products such as wallets, bags, and shoes.
- Paper And Cardboard: Laser marking can create complex designs and text on paper and cardboard, including packaging and labels.
- Fabric: Laser marking can be used to mark various types of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, nylon, and silk, but the marking effect may vary depending on the material.
- Stone: Laser marking can be used to mark natural stones such as granite and marble.
The suitability of a particular material for laser marking depends on the type of laser used, the power of the laser, and the surface properties of the material. If you are planning to purchase a laser marking machine, you can consult our engineers first. AccTek engineers will provide you with the most suitable laser marking machine and a competitive price according to the surface of the material you need to mark.
