Laser engraver for metal

  • Permanent laser engraving of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass or titanium  
  • Contactless marking process, without consumables or tool wear 
  • From labeling for traceability to the personalization of promotional items 

Trotec laser engraver for metal.

The contactless marking process of metal, without consumables or tool wear, ensures the lowest costs per marking. In contrast to marking with a CO2 laser and marking paste, no preparation or follow-up is required when using a fiber laser. Achieve uniform and precise results even with fine details. Different effects like rich black or white color can be obtained using certain parameter settings. Our laser engravers for metal provide durable, counterfeit-proof depth to metal, ideal for productivity and quality. When marking metal, expand your possibilities using a MOPA laser as you can mark, for instance, (anodized) aluminum in black or create reproducible colors on steel.  

The ideal metal laser engraver.

Different methods for laser processing metal.

The laser technology enables metal marking with different methods: Annealing marking, engraving and removing. During annealing the heat output leads to local change in the structure of metal, resulting in recoloring of the metal and the surface remains undamaged and clean. Engraving leads to a vaporization of the material. These inscriptions have a long life and are extremely abrasion resistant. When removing the top layer is removed with high speed by the laser, achieving vast contrast markings.
