Why a Fiber Laser Matters
Most laser engraving shops use CO2 lasers — they cut wood and acrylic well but cannot mark metal cleanly. A MOPA fiber laser does what they cannot: deep, permanent, color-fast marks on stainless steel, brass, copper, anodized aluminum, and titanium. This is the equipment knife-makers and luxury watch brands use.
Materials We Engrave
- Stainless steel — knife blades, tools, water bottles, kitchen items, custom dog tags
- Brass — plaques, name plates, fixture tags, instrument mouthpieces
- Anodized aluminum — laptop cases, water bottles, color-marked tags, tactical gear
- Coated metals — powder-coated and painted metal items where the laser reveals the contrasting base color
- Steel and iron — tools, knives, equipment tags, custom hardware
- Titanium — high-end EDC items, jewelry, premium gifts
- Copper and bronze — plaques, decorative pieces, custom hardware

How It Works
- Send us your item or order one through us. If you're bringing your own item to be engraved, send a photo and dimensions first so we can quote feasibility.
- Submit your artwork. Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) engrave cleanest. We can work with raster but vector gives the best quality. Vectorization is a separate quoted service when needed.
- Receive a free design proof — we mock up exactly how the engraving will look.
- Approve the proof — we do not begin engraving until you confirm.
- Engrave and deliver — most projects complete in 5-10 business days. Rush options available for tighter deadlines (additional cost).
