CAPCAPABILITIES

Technical proof.
No guesswork.

Every material has a tuned parameter set. Every mark type has a purpose. This page is the short version of our lab notebook — what we run, what it’s for, and what it lives on.

80W MOPA Fiber Laser
Laser source
JPT M7 M-Series
Beam quality
M² < 1.3
Placement tolerance
±0.001"
01MARKING TYPES
TYPE 01
ANN

Annealing

Oxide-layer marking for medical-grade stainless. Rust-proof, passivation-friendly, no material removal.

  • Surgical instruments
  • Implantables
  • Food-grade stainless
Laser-annealed 2D Data Matrix code on a polished medical-grade stainless steel surface — deep black, flush with the substrate, no material removal.
TYPE 02
ETCH

High-Contrast Etching

Dark, high-contrast marks on anodized aluminum and coated substrates. Crisp legibility at small scales.

  • Anodized enclosures
  • Nameplates
  • Control panels
Laser-etched 2D Data Matrix code on a black anodized aluminum panel — high-contrast white modules exposed where the anodized layer was removed.
TYPE 03
SRL

Serialization

High-density 2D Data Matrix and QR codes, 100% verified. UID-ready for MIL-STD-130 programs.

  • MIL-STD-130 UID
  • Lot & batch tracking
  • Revision control
Three identical brushed stainless aerospace fasteners in a row, each laser-marked with a sequential serial number and 2D Data Matrix code — batch serialization in progress.
TYPE 04
DEEP

Deep Engraving

Variable-depth engraving and grayscale 3D relief via EZCad 3 2.5D layered processing. Multi-pass cuts for mold cavities, tooling IDs, and stepped tool features. Survives heat treat and heavy handling.

  • Tooling IDs
  • Mold inserts
  • 3D relief
  • Fixture marking
Deeply engraved identification character cut into a polished tool steel mold insert — raking light reveals the three-dimensional depth and clean-walled cavity.
TYPE 05
TAG

Tamper-Evident Asset Tags

Laser-bleached white-on-black marks on Tesa 6973 polyacrylic film — a tamper-evident, UV-stable substrate engineered to replace etched metal plates on hardware that can’t take a direct mark. Resistant to chemicals and abrasion from −58°F to +392°F.

  • Asset tagging
  • Security hardware
  • Outdoor & UV-exposed
  • Facilities & IT
Macro detail of laser-bleached white-on-black asset tags on Tesa 6973 polyacrylic film — crisp 2D Data Matrix codes and serialized IDs, with one tag partially peeled to reveal the tamper-evident VOID pattern beneath.
