Laser engraving on metal in Girona: precision and durability

Introduction

Laser engraving on metal is a precise and permanent solution for marking parts, components and products that need to withstand use, time and demanding conditions.

At Vanco Studio, with our own workshop in Girona (L’Estartit), we carry out laser engraving on metal for local customers in Girona and the Costa Brava, as well as companies throughout Catalonia and Spain by shipping.

This article explains how laser engraving on metal works, which materials can be processed and when it is the best option compared with other marking systems.

What laser engraving on metal is

Laser engraving on metal is carried out with a fibre laser, a technology designed specifically for marking metals and technical plastics.

Unlike other methods, the laser:

• Uses no inks or consumables
• Does not physically contact the part
• Creates permanent and precise marking

The result is clean, legible and wear-resistant engraving, ideal for technical and professional applications.

Metals that can be laser engraved

A fibre laser can process a wide variety of metals used in industrial and commercial environments.

Aluminium

• Sharp, high-contrast engraving
• Widely used on plates, housings and components
• Technical and decorative marking possible

Steel and stainless steel

• Permanent and durable marking
• Ideal for parts subjected to wear
• Commonly used in industry and machinery

Brass and other metals

• Fine and precise engraving
• Technical and identification applications
• Requires specific settings depending on the material

Common applications of laser engraving on metal

Laser engraving on metal is mainly used for technical and professional purposes.

Industrial marking

• Part numbering
• Technical references
• Component identification

Logo engraving

• Brand identity on products
• Corporate plates
• Custom components

Metal plates and signage

• Identification plates
• Technical signs
• Permanent information

Personalisation of metal parts

• Short runs

Difference between laser engraving and other marking systems

Compared with systems such as adhesives, printing or labels, laser engraving offers clear advantages:

• It does not rub off or peel away
• It withstands heat, friction and chemicals
• It remains legible over time

For this reason, it is a common solution in industrial and professional environments.

Importance of design and file preparation

To obtain a good result, the engraving file must be prepared correctly.

At Vanco Studio we offer technical graphic design for manufacturing:

• Adjustment of thicknesses and lines
• Adapting the design to the type of metal
• Optimising contrast and legibility

This ensures that the engraving is functional and consistent with the use of the part.
