Laser Etching

At MultiTech Industries, we provide quality laser etching services using advanced equipment and expert process controls. Laser etching is a precise, high-definition process that uses a focused, high-powered laser to create permanent markings for branding, traceability, product identification, and other purposes. We use this non-contact method to create crisp, durable designs on a wide variety of substrates, including:

  • Metals
    • Aluminum
    • Brass
    • Copper
    • Stainless steel
    • Nickel
  • Plastics
    • ABS
    • Polycarbonate
    • PEEK
  • Ceramics
  • Composites
  • Rubber

Benefits of Laser Etching

Laser etching is a fast, efficient, and versatile process that offers a variety of cost-saving and operational benefits:

Broad Material Compatibility

Broad material compatibility

Depending on the specific laser system, laser etching is compatible with a range of metals, plastics, composites, and ceramics.
Repeatable Precision and Accuracy

Repeatable precision and accuracy

Laser etching creates precise, repeatable markings even over large-volume production runs. This is especially important in highly regulated industries like aerospace and defense that require large quantities of parts with clear traceability.
Adaptable to Changing Needs.

Adaptable to changing needs

The process is automated and requires little to no tooling, so it’s quick and easy to change setups in the middle of a project.
Durable

Durable

Laser etchings are permanently ablated into the material, resisting fading, wear, peeling, contamination, or damage from repeated wash cycles over the lifespan of the part.
Environmentally Friendly

Environmentally friendly

Unlike chemical etching or ink stamping, laser etching requires no consumable inks or tooling, resulting in minimal waste.

Applications of Laser Etching

Due to its efficiency and versatility, laser etching is widely used across medical, defense, aerospace, automotive, and other critical industries for the following key applications:

Marking Curved or Round Surfaces

Marking curved or round surfaces

The process is not limited only to flat materials. Laser etching stainless steel tubes and other irregularly shaped components is easy and efficient with automated equipment.
Logo or Branding Placement

Logo or branding placement

Laser etching is ideal for marking products with crisp, long-lasting logos, decorative elements, and branding information.
Product Identification, Traceability, and Compliance.

Product identification, traceability, and compliance

Laser etching can quickly mark components with barcodes, batch codes, QR codes, and other product identifiers with repeatable accuracy. These capabilities can meet stringent FAA and MIL-STD-130N compliance standards.

MultiTech’s Laser Etching Services

At MultiTech Industries, our fiber laser etching services can mark any shaped part made of metal, plastic, ceramic, composites, or rubber. We can etch character heights 0.010” and up, with depth capabilities of 0.010” or deeper for some materials.

Our Laser Etching Equipment

Our in-house Beamer Laser Marking Systems equipment are rated for industry-leading 100,000+ hour lifespans. The powerful 1064nm IR laser marking machines are designed, manufactured, and serviced in the U.S. for maximum reliability and performance. These industrial-grade laser etching machines for metal create 2D codes, serialization, decorative marking, tracking codes, and more for critical applications in the aerospace, automotive, defense, and medical industries. Our capabilities help aerospace and defense contractors comply with strict FAA and MIL-STD-130N standards.
