Laser Engraving
Laser engraving is a technique in which the laser removes material from the substrate at various levels of depth.
- Deep laser engraving works best with metals
- Rubber can be engraved using vaporization techniques
The Details
Engraving removes low or high amounts of material to create a mark that has depth. The resulting mark has an embossed look. Depth can vary depending on the time allowed for the marking process. Stripping away small layers at a time to get the desired depth is preferred. This creates an ultra-durable result on the component and is commonly used for firearm serialization, decoration, and the creation of marks that may be subjected to intense wear and tear.
Best Materials for Laser Engraving
TYKMA Electrox manufactures industry-leading laser marking systems that are able to mark on almost any type of surface, including steel and stainless steel. Our systems are finished with user-friendly controls and easy configurations that allow you to create high-contrast marks on steel and stainless steel surfaces.
Aluminum is a lightweight and ductile metal used to make cans, foil, aerospace parts, and beyond. Our MOPA fiber lasers are designed to accommodate laser marking aluminum to create a clean and crisp mark that will not fade over time. This is accomplished by removing a small portion of the surface at a time.
Rubber is used to make stamps, car tires, rubber bands, boots, and more. While it is possible to create marks on these surfaces, laser marking will create a permanent mark for the rubber’s useful life. Using a laser marking machine to create logos, branding, serial numbers, and more on rubber surfaces is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technique that members of all industries can benefit from.
The best part about laser marking machines is that they are able to mark a wide variety of materials. Whether your application involves glass, wood, synthetics, plastic, or something else, chances are it is a candidate for laser marking.

The Absolute Best Customer Service Around
I’ve learned how awesome laser marking is! The new station for laser marking is creating a lot of buzz around our shop floor and in our offices and we are very happy with the performance of the EMS400. Everyone can’t believe how fast it is.
I have been nothing but pleased with the entire process and relationship I have had with TYKMA Electrox. I bought a Minilase a couple years ago and everything went off without a hitch.
The TYKMA Electrox Minilase 20W fiber laser has been a great asset for us. We were able to quickly migrate our production from older laser technology to the Minilase. It produces a higher-quality mark in less time.
