Laser marking

Permanent laser marking

Add a serial number, logo, QR code, or part ID directly to the surface of a printed part. The mark is cut into the surface, so it’s permanent and tamper-proof. We can add it to any material and color we print.

In the order tool

Place your mark — and see it on the part

Turn on marking, choose what to mark, and position it on any face. The order tool previews the mark on your model before you order, so what you approve is what ships.

What you can mark

Choose what to mark and where. A part can carry a single mark or several, on different faces.

Serial numbers

A fixed serial, or an incremental serial that counts up across a batch so each part is unique.

Logos & QR codes

Upload a logo or QR image and we render it as a clean, single-color mark.

Part IDs & text

Part numbers, revisions, dates, or short text for identification and traceability.

Multiple locations

Place a mark on one face or several — you set the position in the order tool.

Serialization

Number a whole batch automatically

Set a prefix, a starting number, and a digit count — every part counts up from there, zero-padded so they sort cleanly. Each part ships with a unique serial you can trace back to its order.

Prefix, start, digits, and suffix. Each part counts up automatically, zero-padded so they sort cleanly — or switch to fixed text, a QR code, or your logo.

Equipment

Two lasers, matched to your part

We run both UV and fiber lasers, using whichever gives the cleanest, highest-contrast mark for your material and color.

Fiber laser

lighter parts

Best for a crisp, dark mark on lighter and brightly colored parts.

UV laser

darker parts

Best for a clean, light-toned mark on darker parts.

Coverage

On every material and color

Every part is marked in high contrast against its color, so it stays legible whatever material you choose.

Applications

Where it’s used

Common reasons customers add a permanent mark.

Traceability

Serialize a production run so each part can be tracked back to its order.

Compliance & date codes

Lot numbers, date codes, and required markings on regulated and end-use parts.

Branding

A company logo or part name on finished and end-use parts.

Identification

Part numbers, revisions, and dates as a permanent, tamper-proof surface mark.

Add marking to your part

Upload a file, choose a material, and turn on laser marking in the order tool. Marking is added on request and included in your price.
