Metal Cutting & Marking
Fiber lasers are the top choice for cutting and marking metal. Their short wavelength lets metals take in energy fast. This means they cut quickly and make sharp marks. Many factories use fiber lasers for thin metal, deep engraving, and lasting ID marks.
HeatSign’s fiber laser can engrave chrome very well. Chrome plating is shiny and hard to engrave. The 50W fiber laser engraver from HeatSign fixes this. It makes clear, lasting marks on chrome parts. Makers use it for serial numbers, barcodes, and logos. These marks stay easy to read for many years.
Tip:Â Fiber lasers are best for cutting and marking metals like steel, aluminum, copper, and chrome. They also work on hard plastics and ceramics.
Fiber lasers have many good points for metal work:
- They use less energy than other lasers .
- They need little care, so there is less downtime.
- They cut much faster, especially on thin metals.
- They give clean edges and high precision.

Car and electronics companies use fiber lasers for marking and cutting. These jobs need fast, strong, and clear marks. Fiber lasers do this job well.
People pick fiber lasers for these reasons:
- Fast cutting on thin metals
- Great marking quality
- Lower costs over time
- Long machine life
