When marking glossy aluminum, you may need other parameters.
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
Download our design file or create your own. Upload the PDF with the differnt layers into the SpeedMark software and fill out the appropriate parameters and fillings.
It is importnat to note that if texts are improted from a PDF, they have to be converted into into curves. If not, the software will not recognize the design as text. On the other hand, it is also possibel to create text driectly in the SpeedMark software

Inspiration
We recommend trying different coloured anodised aluminum and sizes to havea wider range of products.
