Laser Marking

South Bend Form Tool uses their Signature Laser machine to generate the desired “Marking” effects on the surfaces of customers' products, providing a permanent identification, be it a logo, part number, serial number etc.

The laser can be set up to mark materials by discoloring the material leaving little or no tactile feel in the surface marked. This process is used to maintain the surface integrity while laser marking material coloration is dependent upon the material being marked.

The other laser process is “Engraving”, and when South Bend Form Tool uses their laser to engrave, they vaporize material away from the base material leaving a tactile depression (Perceptible to the sense of touch) in the surface. This method allows for deeper engraving depths to provide a wide variety of visual appeal. This process is used when the material being engraved does not lend itself to the laser marking process, or when the item being engraved needs the added depth for visual appeal, or to apply a color fill to the text or logos to improve the readability when finished. Laser engraving allows materials to be engraved that are normally difficult or impossible to engrave by other means.

For specific questions do not hesitate to contact us, to discuss your marking and or engraving needs.
