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).
About
Laser engraving nylon
Although it has a silk-like material nylon is a form of plastic, due to its strength and resistance it is used in many applications from clothing, rope, belts and even parachutes.

Why Laser Engrave Nylon?
One of the key reasons why businesses laser engrave nylon is the greatly reduced chance of damaging the material, this allows businesses to get creative with their branding. Rather than having to outsource branding or personalisation to other companies which may use textiles or printing, a laser marking system can keep the process in house. There are also the durability and precision benefits, ensuring perfect results which won’t fade.
The Process
How to Mark and Cut Nylon
Depending on how you want to use your laser on Nylon you may need a different laser source. Nylon is a very diverse material which takes different forms, if it is being used as a fabric, then marking can be done with a Fiber or UV laser, the UV laser is able to mark the material without heating it making it the safer option whereas the Fiber laser does use head and therefore burns the material which can create a higher contrast mark but could damage the material. A CO2 laser could be used to cut the fabric but it would not be a very precise cut due to the material moving whilst the laser is working.
Alternatively, if the Nylon is a solid object for example when it is used for 3D printing it can be marked onto, engraved into and cut. A UV laser is best for Marking the object creating a surface level mark which is not deep in the material. A Fiber laser can be used to engrave into the material creating a deeper surface which can help make the engraving stand out. A CO2 laser can be used to cut the thin material, creating shapes from the Nylon.

Creations using Nylon
When combining a laser engraving machine which unlocks a wide range of creative possibilities with Nylon which can be used in so many different ways it can create endless possibilities for products.
Lasers can assist with 3D printing, creating detailed marks that 3D printers wouldn’t be able to replicate and adding branding or personalisation to what would normally be a single colour object. Also with many businesses that use 3D printed material traceable marks are required on the product so that it can be easily identified, a task perfect for laser marking.
Nylon can also be used as a strong fabric which is used in many everyday products and equipment. Being able to mark this material allows for great branding and personalisation opportunities, marking logos and graphics onto the fabric or marking it with traceable marks. There is also the potential to mark instructions onto the fabric, great for important items like parachutes and medical equipment.
