Frequently Asked Questions About Pad-Printing
What is the difference between Laser Marking, Laser Engraving, and Laser Etching?
Laser marking discolors the surface without cutting into it, ideal for barcodes and serial numbers. Laser engraving removes part of the material to create depth, suitable for high-contrast marks. Laser etching melts the material’s surface, producing a raised mark, often used for aesthetic purposes.
How long does laser etching last?
Laser etching creates durable marks that can last for many years, depending on the material’s exposure to elements and use. Its longevity is similar to laser engraving, providing a permanent solution.
What is laser etching used for?
Laser etching is used for adding detailed graphics, text, and designs to a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics, popular for decorative purposes, branding, and compliance markings.
Can laser etching be removed?
Removing laser etching is challenging without altering the material’s surface, as it permanently alters the material. It typically requires significant abrasion or material removal to eliminate the etched design.
What is the typical depth of a laser etching mark?
Laser etching typically alters the material surface to a depth of about 0.0001 to 0.005 inches, making it shallower than laser engraving but still noticeable to the touch and eye.
How is laser marking done?
Laser marking is done using a focused beam of light to discolor the material surface, creating high-contrast patterns, texts, or images without cutting into the material, often used for serial numbers, QR codes, and logos.
How accurate is laser etching?
Laser etching offers high precision, capable of creating detailed and intricate designs with accuracy up to the micron level, making it suitable for fine artwork, detailed logos, and small text.
Can laser marking be added to plastic materials?
Yes, laser marking can be effectively applied to plastic materials, offering a versatile method for producing durable, precise marks including barcodes, serial numbers, and custom designs on various types of plastics.
