Part Marking FAQs

  • What are the advantages of CNC engraving?
    CNC engraving is a method of part marking achieved with CNC machines, offering high precision in marking text, numbers, or patterns. Its advantages include highly accurate positioning and sizing, flexible content variation, applicability to various materials, and suitability for mass production, making it a widely used marking method.
  • What are the advantages, disadvantages, or limitations of ink marking?
    The disadvantage of ink marking is its limitation to flat surfaces, while its advantage is that it does not affect the overall appearance of the workpiece. When clients receive the assembly, they can use special solvents to erase the markings.
  • Are there material limitations for CNC engraving?
    CNC engraving can be performed on all materials, but for softer plastics (e.g., PP), it is recommended to ensure sufficiently large font sizes to avoid unclear engraving caused by plastic burrs.
  • What are the advantages of laser marking?
    Laser marking employs laser light to etch the surface of materials, producing various colors for marking. The depth of the etched pattern is shallow enough to minimally affect the thickness of the workpiece.
  • What are the common types of part marking?
    Common types of part marking include CNC engraving, laser engraving, and ink marking.
