Uses and Benefits
Laser etching is used in many jobs and art projects. It is common in cars, electronics, healthcare, and packaging. You can use it to put serial numbers, barcodes, and logos on metal parts. In packaging, laser etching is better than ink because it is cleaner and lasts longer. More than 20,000 laser machines are used around the world for marking. The number of laser etching machines grows by 20–25% every year.
Here are some good things about laser etching:
- Very exact and fast
- Marks that never fade
- No touching the material, so less risk of harm
- Low cost and easy to take care of
- Can make detailed images and designs
- Little heat damage, even on soft items
You can also use laser etching to make things special. Many companies let you add names, dates, or designs to jewelry, awards, and phone cases. These marks last a very long time.
Did you know? Laser etching can make both useful codes and pretty pictures. This makes it great for both work and art.
