What's Laser Engraving?
Laser engraving is a surface treatment process that utilizes laser technology to engrave patterns, text, or images. This technique employs a laser beam to carve designs and can be applied to various materials, including wood, glass, metal, and plastic. The function of laser engraving is similar to that of screen printing and pad printing.
Laser engraving is a very common and straightforward printing process with highly mature technology. Most mold factories or CNC machining factories are equipped with this surface treatment process. FirstMold has six laser engraving machines dedicated to providing engraving services for injection-molded parts, CNC machined parts, and 3D printed parts, including text, logos, and patterns.
