Our laser engraving machines can ‘mark’ stainless steel using a process called annealing.  During the annealing process, no material is removed and there is no ablation unlike when laser engraving. Annealing does however produce a colour change in the material as it is heated. For example,  stainless steel, changes colour when it reaches temperatures between 200 and 300°C. Annealing can be used for a wide range of applications, including laser marking ball bearings and dataplates.

We cannot cut stainless steel, therefore materials must be ordered in pre-fabricated to the finished size required prior to laser engraving.
