Remove the background material rather than engraving the mark.
Powerful fiber laser marking machines are ideal for creating extreme raised marks like this .020” tall text in 316 stainless steel. Here, watch as we remove the material around the text with a 50-watt laser to create a raised mark, rather than engraving the mark into the part.
How did we set up the job? Your laser software needs to be capable of grouping multiple items and also allow for a reverse fill, meaning that all material is removed with the exception of the letters or numbers. This can also be applied to logos. This is a common marking requirement in the die industry, but there are many other potential applications for this type of raised look and feel.
DMS will help you determine the ideal laser system configuration and parameters to tackle your marking application with ease. Modern fiber lasers are rated for 100,000 hours of life, and our industrial-grade solutions are built to last for years to come.
