Why Laser Etching?

Laser marking is a computer-driven, environmentally friendly alternative to silk screening, pad printing, stamping, mechanical engraving, chemical etching, and many other costly, lower quality processes.  DuraMark's high-speed, non-contact laser etching process provides superior quality, permanence and design flexibility. Our advanced laser etching and annealing processes can achieve a level of accuracy and detail unmatched by any other engraving method. Specific benefits of DuraMark's laser etching processes are described below.

Cost Effectiveness The fast turnaround and flexibility of computer generated graphics and part marking programs make the cost of laser etching remarkably affordable.

Environmentally Friendly The laser etching process is self contained and generates no waste products.

Graphic Flexibility Any type of logo, bar code, 2D data-matrix code, patent number, trademark, alpha-numeric, icon, symbol, or graphic design can be applied in almost any shape and size.

High Resolution & Readability Extraordinarily demanding and complex marks can be produced with clarity and high readability down to unbelievably tiny character sizes.

High Speed Controlled computer processing and DuraMark's highly experienced laser etching technicians assure you of the fastest turnaround time possible, regardless of the number of pieces being marked.

State of the Art System Our Trumpf Tru-Mark Infrared YAG laser etching system allows us to offer a wide variety of marking & tracing identification methods including bar coding, 2D matrices and computer controlled sequential numbering.

Material Variety Laser etching can be done on most regular, anodized, painted, or plated metal surfaces including stainless steel, tool steel, titanium, ceramics, aluminum, brass, copper and plastics.

Non-Contact Process - Your product's material remains clean and perfect. Laser etching requires no substances.  Your parts can be engraved or annealed, giving you the option of non invasive marking that maintains the performance and integrity of your important components.

Permanence - Laser engraving stays on for life. It never fades, nor can it be removed, making it the perfect marking method for harsh environments and highly sensitive identification requirements.

Process Flexibility - Laser etching can be adapted for material sensitivity by adjusting for engraving, annealing, ablation, or etching.

Process Repeatability & Consistency - Programmed control and high positioning accuracy controls part to part uniformity. From ten to ten thousand, precision computer control means 100% image consistency.

Quality & Accuracy - The precise nature of the computer driven laser etching, coupled with DuraMark's exacting quality control processes mean an unrelenting commitment to accuracy. We'll never promise what we can't deliver.

What kinds of materials and surfaces can be laser etched? DuraMark can laser etch and engrave All METALS including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, carbide, tool steel, and titanium. Our laser etching process is also the perfect solution for Ceramics and all types of surfaces including Base material, Anodized, Painted, Plated, Polished.
