There is no single laser technology that is ideal for every material.

The correct choice begins with the product.

For Metals

Fiber laser technology is generally the primary choice for industrial metal identification.

It is commonly suitable for:

• Steel

• Stainless steel

• Aluminum

• Hardware

• Automotive parts

• Metal electronic components

For Fine Plastics and Sensitive Materials

UV laser technology should be considered where fine detail and reduced thermal influence are important.

Typical applications include:

• Plastic components

• Electronics

• Flexible circuit materials

• Glass

• Medical packaging

• Cosmetic packaging

For Packaging and Non-Metals

CO₂ laser technology is widely used for suitable:

• Paper

• Cartons

• Wood

• Leather

• Packaging

• Certain plastics

Consider Marking Quality

Define whether the application requires:

• Large text

• Small characters

• Fine lines

• Logos

• Barcodes

• QR codes

Consider Production Method

The factory should also determine whether it requires:

• Stationary marking

• Flying marking

• Rotary marking

• Vision positioning

• XY movement

• MES integration

Consider Working Area

A larger product does not necessarily require a larger laser source, but it may require a different optical field or mechanical movement system.
