Laser plastic engraving

What are the benefits of laser engraving?

The marking outcome depends primarily on the laser wavelength selected and the interaction time (pulse time) between the beam and the material. The laser source is a powerful and accurate beam of light to heat and evaporate the material and its focus point.

  • Contactless, laser technology overcomes the hardness of the parts and allows a very fine mark at high speed . The work is clean and indelible.
  • Flexible, laser marking is suitable for all types of production, from aesthetic engraving to engraving at the highest industrial rate.
  • Economic and environmentally-friendly, it does not use solvents, ink or any other chemical product for cutting and engraving operations.
  • Easy to automate, laser processes save time, energy and materials compared with traditional processes.

The laser engraving machine is a great tool for improving your productivity, your image and offers infinite creativity.

* Definition: English acronym "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation". By extension: device emitting a very powerful beam based on the laser effect.
