What Is a Fiber Laser Engraver? 

Fiber laser engravers are used to make permanent marks on metals and some plastics. In the engraving process, a focused beam of light is sent through a fiber optic cable and used to mark the surface of the material. The surface absorbs the laser, melts, and discolors. Fiber laser engravers are also referred to as fiber laser marking machines. They’re used extensively by crafters and manufacturers to create custom designs and personalized items and to mark product parts for identification and tracking.

What do fiber markers do? 

Fiber optic lasers are precise machines used for marking, cleaning, and texturing, among other tasks. Fiber laser marking machines are used across all industries, including the aerospace, dental, medical, automotive, jewelry, scientific, and sensor fields. The flexible fiber optic cable allows for extreme precision and fast working speeds.

Manufacturers often use fiber laser markers to identify products — such as car parts or medical devices — so they can be easily traced. However, crafters and small businesses also use fiber laser markers to create unique products. From wedding gifts to promotional items, a fiber laser engraver can be used to make personalized items and artwork from a wide range of different materials.

While fiber laser technology is extremely versatile, it’s important to differentiate between a fiber laser engraver and a fiber laser cutter. Fiber laser cutters are far more powerful than fiber laser engravers because they have a more intense and focused laser source. A fiber laser engraver produces a wavelength between 800 and 2,200 nm, while a fiber laser cutting machine operates at a wavelength between 9,000 and 11,000 nm. While it’s possible to cut metal with a fiber laser marker, you would need a laser source of around 2,000 watts. A standard DIY fiber laser machine has 20 to 50 watts of power.
