Application examples for consumer electronics products

The housings of consumer electronics products are often made of anodised aluminium or coated plastic. Electronic displays are made of acrylic, and mobile phone cases typically made of wood, leather or textiles. Depending on the material, these can be marked with a CO₂ or fiber laser. During laser engraving, a varying amount of the top layer is removed - depending on the laser power level used- creating varying contrasts. It is not possible to cut anodised aluminium or metals with the laser.

  • Individual finishes
  • Personalisation, such as signature engraving
  • Security markings
  • Corporate branding on smartphones, tablets and laptops as well as protective cases
