What Materials Can a Fiber Laser Engrave?

Fiber laser engraving machines have revolutionized the manufacturing and customization industries with their precision, speed, and versatility. These machines use a high-intensity laser beam to mark or engrave various materials, making them ideal for industrial, commercial, and artistic applications. If you're wondering what materials a fiber laser can engrave, this guide will explore the most common and suitable options.

Metals The Primary Choice for Fiber Laser Engraving

Fiber lasers excel at engraving metals due to their high absorption rate of the laser wavelength (typically 1064 nm). Some of the most commonly engraved metals include

- Stainless Steel – Ideal for industrial parts, medical instruments, and jewelry.

- Aluminum – Used in aerospace, automotive, and electronic components.

- Brass & Copper – Popular for decorative engravings, plaques, and electrical parts.

- Titanium – Commonly used in medical implants and aerospace applications.

- Gold & Silver – Perfect for jewelry customization and luxury branding.

Fiber lasers can create deep engravings, surface markings, or high-contrast black/white finishes on metals, depending on the settings.

Plastics & Polymers

While CO₂ lasers are often preferred for plastics, fiber lasers can still engrave certain types effectively

- ABS & Polycarbonate – Used in automotive and electronic casings.

- Delrin (POM) – Common in precision engineering parts.

- PTFE (Teflon) – Used in medical and chemical industries.

However, some plastics may melt or produce toxic fumes, so proper ventilation and testing are necessary.

Other Engravable Materials

Fiber lasers can also mark or engrave

- Anodized Aluminum – Creates high-contrast marks without damaging the surface.

- Painted or Coated Metals – Removes paint layers for branding or labeling.

- Ceramics & Glass (Limited) – Requires special settings to avoid cracking.
