Lasers and plastics: the possibilities are endless
Like lasers, plastics are highly versatile and used for many different applications. Used together, lasers and plastics can significantly broaden your product and processing capabilities. There are a number of ways to laser mark and laser engraves plastics. With a fiber laser, you can quickly and easily mark many different plastics, such as polycarbonate, ABS, polyamide, and many more commercially-used plastics with a permanent, high-quality finish. Because a laser machine requires only minimal set-up and provides a large degree of flexibility, laser marking plastics can be done economically even in small batch sizes. You can also laser engrave and laser cut plastics with the highest level of precision and efficiency.
