    Can a Fiber Laser engrave Gravoply/Rowmark engravable plastics?

    Hi everybody.

    I am planning on the purchase of a Fiber Laser for engraving steel plates and Rowmark/Gravotech plastics. I have seen a video on Youtube where you can see a piece of gravoply being engraved on a fiber laser machine.



    May any of you corroborate if any kind of engravable plastic can be used on a fiber laser machine?

    Thanks for your advice!

    Rowmark and gravoply make both laserable and non-laserable material. Ask your supplier for laserable material and your fiber laser can engrave it fine and dandy.

    Truth be told you can laser the non-laserable stuff too... it just takes a bit more finesse.

    Fiber laser machines can engrave on both metal and plastic.

    Fiber Laser machines are mostly for engraving metal materials. It can engrave plastics, only hard plastics like pp, pvc, other kinds might can not get a good engraving effect (might burn the surface). For non-metal engraving /marking, better choose CO2 laser source. We sells both fiber laser & co2 laser machine, lets talk more detail.

    Yes, a fiber laser can generally engrave Gravoply/Rowmark engravable plastics. These materials are specifically designed for laser engraving and are suitable for use with both CO2 and fiber laser marking machines. However, the optimal laser settings may vary depending on the specific material and thickness being used, so it's important to consult the manufacturer's recommendations and perform some testing to achieve the desired results.

    Yes, you can use engraving plastics on a fiber laser, but you should reduce the power for plastic to avoid melting. For steel, higher power is needed. Testing and adjusting settings are important for both materials.

    Absolutely! Fiber lasers excel at engraving Gravoply/Rowmark plastics. Their focused light beams interact with materials like Gravoply and Rowmark, resulting in intricate, high-quality engravings. Adjust settings for depth and clarity, while prioritizing safety.
