You might need other parameters when marking glossy aluminum.
Creating a black marking is only possible with the MOPA laser. This is the only laser that colors anodized aluminum black through short pulsing. The conventional fiber lasers in the SpeedMarker Series, Speedy Flexx or Speedy Fiber Laser, can only create white marking.
Step by Step
Step 1: Design
Import our template or create your own design. Import the PDF with layers into SpeedMark and assign parameters and fillings to the object.
Important: If texts are imported from a PDF, they have to be converted into curves before. Otherwise SpeedMark Software does not recognize them as Text. Alternatively, you can produce the text directly in SpeedMark.
