Engraving & marking

Laser Marked & Laser Engraved Aluminum

With a laser machine it’s possible to make sharp and high-contrasting marks on aluminum, whether it’s text and patterns or even high-quality images. Many promotional items are made from aluminum because it’s relatively inexpensive, durable and simple to mark. From pens and bottle openers to drinking flasks, these promotional items are easy to mark with company branding and logos.

Applications

Typical Uses

Industrial Identification

Traceability and identification for parts requires robust, durable marking and engravings. They need to be as clear as possible – and the incredible accuracy and 0.01mm spot size of our fiber lasers makes this process fast and easy.

Promotional Products

Branded items including pens, bottle openers and flasks are often made from laser engraved aluminum thanks to its durability and cost-effectiveness.

Architectural Elements

Laser engraved aluminum can withstand a range of conditions, making it ideal for use both inside and outside. It is most often used for safety signs, nameplates for businesses and equipment panels.

Laser Marking Anodised Aluminium

Consumer Electronics

Aluminum phone and laptop casings, as well as tablet frames can be branded with almost anything, from the most intricate patterns to completely custom finishes.

Applications

Anodised Aluminum

The fundamental difference between regular aluminum and anodised aluminum is that the latter has a layer of oxide over the surface material. This layer of oxide is beneficial for many reasons, it improves the insulation properties of the material and increases the thickness of the surface, turning it into a very hard compound and therefore ensuring it’ll have a high wear resistance. In fact, the surface of anodised aluminum is so hard, it comes second only to diamond on the Mohs scale.


The addition of this anodised layer to aluminum makes it a particularly easy material to laser mark and laser engrave. Unlike non-anodised aluminum, a CO2 laser can be used effectively to mark and engrave anodised aluminum.

FAQs

Aluminum is an excellent material for outdoor use because of its natural oxide layer. It is especially suitable for use in the outdoors if it has been anodised or coated. It’s a popular material for signage and architectural features, all of which can be permanently marked with a Lotus Laser machine.

Both fiber and CO2 lasers can be used to engrave aluminum, but the best wavelength depends on the goal you wish to achieve. Fiber lasers are ideal for marking bare or anodised aluminum, whilst CO2 is perfect for aluminum applications with a coated surface.

This all depends on the surface of your product. For example, on anodised aluminum, a laser engraving machine will remove the anodised layer to reveal the metal base underneath. This creates an attractive, high-contrast and permanent mark.

Yes, laser engraving is a non-contact method of marking, meaning it can be extremely precise and clean marks that are sterile and cause no mechanical stress.

No, it only affects the surface of the material, the material remains stable and unchanged throughout the process.

No, laser marking with a Lotus Laser creates a permanent and precise mark that can withstand even the most extreme of conditions.
