Every mark on the menu.

A focused fiber beam heats the surface in narrow pulses, oxidizing iron in stainless or titanium below the surface to form a dark, permanent mark. No metal is removed. The surface stays smooth enough to passivate cleanly and to pass crevice-corrosion testing on Class IIa and Class III instruments.

Annealing is the only marking process most surgical-instrument manufacturers will accept. We tune cycle time per part — typical run is 1.4–4.0 seconds per character for FDA UDI text on 14mm-wide instruments.

Material is vaporized in successive passes — we'll run anywhere from 5 to 80 passes depending on alloy and target depth. Engraving is the right call when the mark needs to survive downstream surface treatments: powder coat, anodize, plating, paint, sandblast.

For aerospace IUID plates we engrave the data-matrix square at 0.010″ minimum depth so the dot quality grade survives a Class B finish per AS9132. We can also engrave directly into hardened tool steel up to 62 HRC.

A low-power, high-frequency pass that fractures the topmost microns of the surface to produce a matte, high-contrast frost. Cleaner than annealing on 300-series stainless that doesn't anneal well, and roughly 6× faster than engraving for cosmetic logos and asset tags.

We run etching for logo branding on industrial tooling, anodized control panels, and on the white-finish handles of consumer hardware. The mark is bright white on anodized aluminum, charcoal on bare stainless.

On titanium, color comes from oxide-layer thickness — exactly the same physics as anodized titanium jewelry, controlled to micron precision by pulse energy. We hold gold, bronze, magenta, deep blue, and cyan; the palette is repeatable lot-to-lot within a tightly-controlled ΔE.

On white engineering plastics (ABS, PEEK, polycarbonate), we run carbon-black, red, and green foaming marks. The mark sits proud of the surface, raised by gas evolution within the polymer matrix — no pigments, no fade.
