Tips for marking metal

Can metal be engraved with a CO2 laser, too?

The devices of the Speedy flexx series are equipped with a CO2 and a fiber laser. Use both laser sources in a single job without having to manually change the laser source, the lenses or the focus. The patented JobControl® laser software makes it possible: Simply assign the desired laser source to each color of the graphic.

Laminates – from bottom to top

Engrave laminates from the bottom up, so dust is extracted upwards and the top layer is not discolored.
