Laser is that process where the stimulated emission of particles of light is generated. Wherein, this generated light when converged and focused towards any surface, leaves a mark at the point of contact and this is referred to as a laser mark. Generated with a complex laser marking machine, laser marking technique finds usage in a range of various applications. While automatically processed at very high swiftness, these laser beams have a capacity of leaving long-lasting marks on a range of materials, like aluminium, copper, ceramics, plastics, wood, paper and much more.

In comparison to the different marking techniques that are carried out, out of which most of them are not permanent, laser marking stands out among all of them in terms of durability and maximum productivity. Different types of marking can be carried out with the help of different equipments, and each of the apparatus operates differently. While the performance of the machine depends on various other factors, the main one is based on the material surface. The process of laser marking can be carried out by comparatively low powered laser devices in which ...
... the beam generated is of low intensity, and hence does not increase the temperature of the metal surface. Whereas the laser engraving machines operates at relatively high temperatures, and extracts the material surface layers to a considerable extent.

However both the procedures result in permanent markings. While increase in temperature disperses the surface of the material it is a process that takes place more rapidly creating deep depressions. All the same laser engraving method is not always suggested for surfaces that are delicate and fragile. Surfaces like wood, glass, ceramic, plastic, natural and artificial leather can efficiently be marked. Likewise, the method of laser etching is also very much similar to the laser engraving.

Even here the laser light beam is converged into a narrow beam or ray and the material surface is engraved with a variable depth. But since this process often changes the surface behavior and sensitivity of the substrate, it is best suited in cases of plated metal surfaces, ceramics and other kinds of polymers. While the technology of laser engraving is to an extent complex the machinery involved in it also happens to be sophisticated and advanced in terms of its technical aspect.
