Can Epilog’s lasers engrave metal?

Yes. Our fiber laser systems are capable of permanently marking nearly all types of bare metal. The fiber laser line was designed with a combination of affordability and high-quality results in mind. The Fusion Edge 12 machine comes in a fiber option, with a 24″ x 12″ (610 x 305 mm) work area. The Fusion Ascent 12 and 24 are also available with fiber laser sources. The larger Fusion Pro series has several options for those looking for a fiber laser solotion. Not only is the Fusion Pro 24 available with a fiber laser source, but the Pro 36 and Pro 48 are both available as a dual-source machines with both a CO2 and fiber laser tube.  The flat-bed, flying-optic design of the Fusion Edge, Fusion Ascent and Fusion Pro systems is revolutionary for a fiber laser system and will mark metals over a large work area in a short amount of time.

Epilog’s Fusion Galvo G100 is also designed specifically for marking bare metals and engineered plastics. With lightning-fast speeds and adjustable work area, the G100 makes quick work of marking a variety of parts and components with incredible ease and precision.

And, though our CO2 laser systems are mainly designed to engrave and cut non-metallic materials, they can also be used to mark on metal with the aid of metal-marking compound.
