Sherbrooke Laser Engraving: Mark & Etch Aluminum & Stainless Steel Rulers & Panels
Systana Gravure fabricates custom signs, decals, and accessories with lettering, numbering, graphics, and other markings lasered into them.
The engravings are done using either a fibre laser or a CO2 laser, both of which produce permanent results.
Systana Gravure uses two lasering techniques - laser marking and laser etching. With laser marking, a thin layer of the surface material is removed leaving behind shallow marks.
Conversely, with laser etching, the laser fuses one material (usually ceramic powder) to the surface of another material, creating raised marks.
As far as what materials the engraving can be done on, Systana Gravure recommends either aluminum or stainless steel.
Aluminum is better if you're looking for a lighter, softer, less expensive option, but stainless steel is more durable and resistant to scratches, scuffs, rust, and oxidation.
If requested, they can also mark other metals, as well as wood, plastic, and glass.
