Laser marking machines are compatible with a wide variety of materials. Different types of lasers are suitable for different materials. Below is a classification of the main materials that can be marked with laser machines, along with the recommended laser types.
Quick Reference: Laser Type vs. Compatible Materials
Laser Type | Compatible Materials | Key Features |
Fiber Laser | Metals + Some engineering plastics (e.g., black ABS) | High power, deep engraving, fast speed |
UV Laser | Plastics, glass, ceramics, thin films, electronics | High precision, minimal heat-affected zone |
CO₂ Laser | Non-metals (wood, leather, acrylic, paper) | Excellent for organic materials, packaging, and advertising |
Green Laser (450nm) | Reflective metals, semi-transparent materials | Better than fiber for materials like copper |
Conclusion & Suggestion:
When choosing a laser marking machine, the most important factor is to identify the types of materials you plan to process, then select the appropriate laser technology accordingly.
