Laser Marking & Engraving Machines
Our Meta range will fit most requirements, from the ultra-compact desktop nMeta, to our high-performance Meta-C systems (3D as standard).
With 17 adjustable waveforms, our metal laser engravers create indelible, high-contrast marks for traceability in aerospace, military, and industry, while unlocking colour marking and unique effects not possible with standard fiber lasers.
Metal laser engraver technology has become so pivotal that it is used extensively in both big industries and smaller-scale applications.
A MOPA fiber metal engraving machine offers exceptional control and versatility, delivering permanent, wear-resistant markings for industrial traceability and high-end personalisation.
Unlike standard MOPA and Q-Switch fiber lasers, our own propriety laser sources provide 17 adjustable waveforms, allowing for consistent colour marking, fine tonal control, advanced effects, and better reliability, expanding possibilities on stainless steel, titanium, and more. From pipes, fittings, serialisation and QR codes to intricate branding on jewellery, tech, and medical equipment, this technology ensures unmatched precision and durability.
Furthermore, most of our Meta range boasts true 3D capabilities as standard, unmatched speed, automation options (such as COBOT’s or database systems), plus they are all backed by our 10-year comprehensive warranty.

For manufacturers of car parts, aerospace, engineering and more; a traceability system is critical to quality monitoring. The use of a laser etching machine for metal parts ensures that these marks are permanent, resistant to a lot of friction and heat and will remain long into the future.
In addition to engineering parts and tools, laser etching machines are used for metal promotional gifts, jewellery, and branding. Personalised items made of metal often include bottles, lighters, shavers, cutlery, picture frames, key fobs, and much more. Laser engraving provides versatility and accuracy when portraying a personalised result.
A laser engraving machine removes only a thin layer of the metal material to make permanent marks and not enough to cause any structural damage, typically fibre systems are the best to achieve this effectively. Higher intensity machines can be used to cut the metal.
Another interesting process is that of annealing, as used by a multitude of our customers, annealing does not remove material, but in contrast it alters the metal at a molecular level – resulting in a change of colour.
Aside from components, a fibre laser machine can be used to make legible marks on common engineering tools such as callipers, spanners and drill bits. Some of these parts require a high level of accuracy, making a metal engraving laser a particularly suitable technology for marking characters that are still legible at 1-point size. With measuring tools, the precision and accuracy of the markings are critical. The automated aspect of a laser etching machine delivers superior repeatability and consistency, ensuring that measuring tools are marked and positioned perfectly.
The types of metals that a laser engraver can be used on are as varied as its applications. Make resilient marks on stainless steel, soft metals, hardened metals, alloys, titanium, brass, copper, carbides, high-speed steels, aluminium, anodised metals, coated metals, and precious metals such as silver and gold. With the right equipment and experienced operator, switching over from one metal to another can be as simple as a couple of clicks.
