In the past it was very difficult as well as costly to put or remove marks or logos on small electronic parts, and on metals, plastics and ceramics. Mechanical engraving, pad printing, acid etching, etc. were used for these purposes. These processes were very complex and expensive but still the results were not that satisfactory.
But thanks to Laser Marking technology now it’s not that difficult or costly. Also called as Laser Engraving, in it a precisely controlled laser beam is used to discolor the surface of a component or mark on an object. Even applications that are hard or impossible with other methods can easily be achieved with the laser marking. The process of marking seems very technical but the end outcome is very precise as well as clean. Every possible thing that you can imagine of (metals, wood, jewelry, most plastics and ceramics) can be engraved from laser technology. Manufacturers who need to mark their products (big to small) in the form of logos, serial no., code; people who may want to customize their automotive backlit buttons & fascias; imprints on medical instrument/devices; plastic spray painting; customizing keyboards buttons; everything can be done in the price that is much more reasonable than other forms of marking.
