Laser markers for plastics
The most popular lasers for marking plastic are the well-known UV laser, the FlyPeak green wave laser from LASIT, and the traditional green light laser with a fiber optic source. In many cases, we can also recommend using a MOPA laser (variable pulse). Because of the ability to control pulse timing, this laser performs exceptionally well, even for some difficult applications.
The processes of laser marking on plastics
While there are different processes that lasers can perform on plastic, some are more popular than others. We can meet needs based on manufacturer requirements and the type of product involved.
01
CARBONIZATION
Carbonization creates very dark marks on very bright surfaces. When an area receives continuous high energy, the macromolecules of the element around the base material are charred and turn black.
02
COLOR CHANGE
Color change, for example from dark to light or vice versa, using a laser ensures minimal damage to the component during marking.

SELECTIVE ABLATION
With selective ablation, the laser removes a surface layer from the material.
