lasermerked

lasermerked is a term used to describe an item or material that has been permanently marked using a laser. This process involves directing a laser beam onto the surface of the material, which alters its properties to create a visible or indelible mark. The laser can achieve this by either removing a layer of material, annealing (changing the color through heat), or foaming (creating a raised texture).

The applications of lasermerked items are diverse. In manufacturing, it's used for product identification, serial numbering, and branding, ensuring traceability and authenticity. Industries such as automotive, electronics, and medical device manufacturing frequently employ laser marking for its precision and durability. The marks are resistant to wear, chemicals, and environmental factors, making them suitable for harsh conditions.

Lasermerked markings can range from simple text and serial numbers to complex logos and 2D data carriers like QR codes. The choice of laser technology and parameters depends on the material being marked and the desired outcome. Common laser types include CO2 lasers, fiber lasers, and UV lasers, each suited for different substrates. The permanence and clarity of lasermerked details make it a preferred method for high-quality, long-lasting identification.
