Laser Marking
What Is Industrial Laser Ablation?
Laser ablation occurs when a laser beam removes material from a localized area. Used in various industrial applications, this process can create permanent marks (laser marking), remove contaminants and coatings from surfaces (laser cleaning), modify a part’s roughness (laser texturing), cut through a surface (laser cutting) and much more.
Laser Etching: Everything You Need to Know
Because of its speed and durability, laser etching is the process that we recommend for most marking applications.
How Does Laser Marking Work in 5 Steps
Laser marking is the process of marking parts or workpieces using laser technology. A laser beam hits the material, and its energy creates a reaction that leaves a permanent mark.
Why You Can’t Laser Engrave Stainless Steel
You can’t laser engrave stainless steel. Here’s why this metal alloy is different, and what's the alternative.
Marking and Uncoating of Metals with Laser Ablation
Metals have a tendency to get dirty, to corrode and to have unexciting surface finishes. To solve these issues coatings may be applied to metals. Aluminum gets anodized, steel gets painted and...
How Does Laser Annealing Work?
Laser annealing does not remove anything from a metal surface. In fact, the marking does not change the surface roughness of the metal surface. It is particularly interesting for applications in which...
Fiber Laser vs CO2 Laser: Comparison of Laser Engraving Machines
Fiber Laser Systems Fiber lasers use fiber optics as their gain medium. Other common gain mediums are gazes, crystals or mixture of dyes. Fiber lasers use laser diodes as...

Laserax's Guide to How Fiber Lasers Work ?
Like any other laser, fiber optic lasers are devices that generate light of a special kind. The laser beam is collimated, which means its rays are parellel, and monochromatic, featuring only a single...
