This process is particularly effective in highlighting logos or specific designs, where the color contributes to the brand identity or the visual impact of the object.

High-contrast result thanks to engraving laser

With a laser machine, we can achieve a high-contrast result in engraving plastic.Laser engraving is a technique where the laser beam precisely removes material or changes its color, resulting in a clear and sharp engraving. Whether it's detailed images or fine text, the precision of a laser machine ensures unparalleled clarity and visibility, making every engraving stand out.

Materials and Machines

The choice of both the right materials and suitable machines is essential for achieving the desired finish in plastic engraving. We navigate through an extensive range of plastic sheets, each with their specific properties and reactions to engraving techniques. Additionally, selecting the correct machine, whether it's a laser or a mechanical engraving machine, is crucial for the accuracy and quality of the final result.

Choose the right laser source for your project

Selecting the appropriate laser source is crucial for the success of your project. Different types of lasers, such as CO2 lasers or fiber lasers, each have their own advantages and disadvantages depending on the type of plastic you wish to process. For example, a CO2 laser is excellent for cutting and engraving most plastics, while a fiber laser can provide better results when engraving certain metals and specific plastics.

Different options depending on the engraved plate

The choice of plastic engraving plate plays an important role in the final result of the engraving. Depending on the desired appearance and durability of the engraving, we select from a variety of plastic plates.Some sheets are specially designed to react to laser processing, resulting in bright and contrasting engravings, while others are better suited for mechanical engraving.
