FAQ – Materials

Materials and Processing

What materials can you work with?

We mainly work with metals, wood, leather, and many other materials compatible with laser marking or engraving.

Feasibility always depends on the specific material, surface finish, geometry, and desired result.

Do you use renewable energy?

Yes.

Our processes are powered by certified renewable energy sources, as part of a responsible and sustainability-oriented approach.

Do you work on customer-supplied items?

Yes.

This is one of the most common workflows: you send us your item or sample, we analyze material and finish, and define the best processing method.

Can you engrave any object?

Not always.

Before confirming a job, we evaluate:

  • actual material
  • color and finish
  • shape and accessibility
  • expected result
  • quantity and repeatability

This ensures consistent and reliable outcomes.

What’s the difference between laser marking and laser engraving?

In general:

The best choice depends on function, contrast, durability, and the project’s goal.

We mainly use fiber lasers and diode lasers, selecting the most suitable technology based on material and desired result.

For certain materials or items, preliminary tests help verify contrast, readability, visual result, and processing parameters.
