Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Laser Marking?
Laser marking is a process that uses a focused laser beam to create permanent marks on the surface of a material. Unlike cutting or engraving, it doesn’t remove material—it alters the surface to produce visible marks. The laser changes the material’s appearance through heat, oxidation, or discoloration. The result is a high-contrast mark, often in the form of text, logos, serial numbers, or barcodes.
Laser marking is a fast, contact-free, and permanent way to add detailed, high-contrast marks to a wide variety of materials without damaging the part.
How Do I Determine Which Laser Marking Machines Are Right For My Material?
Choosing the right laser marking machine depends mainly on the type of material you’re marking and the type of mark you need. Here’s how to decide:
- Identify Your Material Type
- Metals (Steel, Aluminum, Brass, Titanium): Use a fiber laser
- Plastics (ABS, Polycarbonate, PVC): Use a fiber, UV, or CO2 laser depending on the plastic type
- Wood, Leather, Paper, Rubber: Use a CO2 laser
- Glass and Transparent Plastics: Use a UV or CO2 laser
- Ceramics and Coated Materials: Use fiber or UV lasers, depending on coating
- Determine the Marking Requirement
- Deep Engraving: Choose a high-powered fiber laser
- Surface Marking/Etching: Most lasers can do this, but fiber lasers excel on metals
- High-Contrast Marks (like barcodes or QR codes): Choose a laser that creates strong contrast on your material
- No Surface Damage (e.g., medical tools): Annealing with a fiber laser is ideal
- Consider Precision and Detail
- For fine detail on small parts (like electronics or jewelry), go for a UV or low-power fiber laser
- For larger items with basic markings, CO2 or mid-power fiber lasers are enough
- Production Speed and Volume
- For high-speed or high-volume marking, a fiber laser is typically faster and more durable
- For low-volume or craft use, a CO2 or diode laser might be more budget-friendly
- Budget and Machine Size
- Fiber lasers cost more upfront but offer long life and low maintenance
- CO2 lasers are more affordable for non-metals
- UV lasers are more expensive but ideal for delicate or heat-sensitive materials

How Is The Cooling Of Laser Marking Machines Performed?
Laser marking machines generate heat during operation, especially at higher power levels. Cooling is essential to protect the laser source, maintain consistent performance, and extend machine life. There are two main types of cooling systems:
- Air Cooling
- Used in low-power machines (typically under 50W), especially compact fiber, UV, or diode lasers.
- Relies on built-in fans and heat sinks to dissipate heat from the laser source and components.
- Simple, low-maintenance, and ideal for small-scale or intermittent use.
- Common in desktop or entry-level machines.
- Water Cooling
- Required for higher-power machines (typically above 50W), including many CO2, MOPA, and industrial fiber lasers.
- Uses a chiller unit to circulate water or coolant around the laser components.
- Maintains a stable temperature during extended or high-power marking.
- More efficient and reliable for continuous or high-speed production.
- Chiller Systems
- Can be built-in or external, depending on machine size and power.
- Require regular checks for coolant level, filter cleaning, and temperature control.
- Some chillers have alarms for overheating or coolant flow issues.
Do I Need Laser Safety Glasses To Operate Laser Marking Machines?
Yes, in most cases, you need laser safety glasses when operating a laser marking machine—unless it’s fully enclosed and specifically designed to block laser exposure.
- When You Need Them
- Open or partially enclosed machines: Always wear safety glasses that match the laser’s wavelength.
- During maintenance or setup: If the laser is powered on and exposed, glasses are a must.
- Near active marking zones: Even indirect or reflected beams can be harmful.
- When You Might Not Need Them
- Fully enclosed machines with laser-safe windows and proper shielding usually don’t require glasses during normal use. But always follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines.
- What Type Do You Need
- Match your laser’s wavelength (e.g., 1064nm for fiber, 10.6μm for CO₂)
- Have the correct optical density (OD) rating for that laser power
- Be certified to meet safety standards (ANSI, EN 207, etc.)
What File Formats Does The Laser Marking Machines Support?
Most laser marking machines are compatible with standard graphic and vector file formats used in design and engineering software. These include:
- DXF (.dxf): Widely used for vector-based designs, especially from CAD software.
- AI (.ai): Adobe Illustrator files; great for logos and vector graphics.
- SVG (.svg): Scalable vector graphics; ideal for precise, scalable designs.
- PLT (.plt): Plotter files used in many laser and engraving systems.
- BMP (.bmp): Bitmap images; good for raster marking or low-resolution logos.
- JPG/JPEG (.jpg): Common image file, used for raster marking.
- PNG (.png): Lossless image format, often used for detailed graphics or logos.
- PDF (.pdf): Vector or raster graphics embedded in a printable document.
- G-Code (.nc, .tap, .gcode): Used in some systems for precise path control.
Is The Laser Marking Resistant To Solvents And Abrasion?
Yes, laser marking is generally resistant to solvents and abrasion, especially when done on the right material using the correct laser settings. Laser marking alters the surface structure of the material—either by discoloring, engraving, or oxidizing it. Unlike printing or labeling, there’s no ink or coating to wear off.
- On metals (like stainless steel, aluminum, brass), Marks are often permanent and can withstand chemical exposure, cleaning agents, and mechanical wear.
- On plastics, Resistance depends on the plastic type and the marking method. Deep etching or foaming usually holds up better than surface-level color change.
- On coated surfaces, if the laser only marks the coating and not the base material, durability may be lower.
Does Laser Marking Produce Fumes?
Yes, laser marking does produce fumes, and the type and amount depend on the material being marked. Laser marking involves heating, melting, or vaporizing a material’s surface. This process releases particles, gases, and smoke—commonly referred to as fumes.
- Materials That Produce More Fumes
- Plastics: Often release toxic or irritating fumes (e.g., chlorine from PVC, styrene from ABS).
- Painted or Coated Metals: Can emit chemicals from inks, adhesives, or coatings.
- Wood, Leather, Rubber: Produce organic smoke and strong odors.
- Metals: May release fine metal particles or oxides, though fumes are typically less visible.
- Is It Dangerous?
- Yes, without proper ventilation, inhaling fumes can be harmful to health, especially with synthetic materials. Long-term exposure may lead to respiratory issues or other health risks.
- How to Manage Fumes
- Use a fume extractor with filters (HEPA + activated carbon)
- Ensure proper room ventilation
- Choose enclosed laser systems with built-in exhausts
