Laser marking is a precise and permanent method of labeling metal parts and other products. In laser part marking, a precise laser beam moves in a controlled path to create alphanumeric characters, a design or pattern.

This method of marking provides durable product identification that is becoming a more common requirement for many different categories of products. Most part marking is used for traceability to meet safety, inventory control, or other requirements related to regulatory mandates.

Xact offers laser marking for any parts that need identification. Our laser marking services are commonly used to produce bar codes, QR codes, logos, serial numbers, patent numbers, date codes, and more, such as arrows and other symbols on in-house tooling and fixturing. Graphics can also be created.
