If you’re looking for a system capable of laser engraving white ABS plastic, the laser marking machines from TYKMA Electrox are your best bet. Contact us to learn more about our systems for laser marking white ABS plastic.
In the application shown above, we were able to achieve black contrast on white ABS plastic with our MOPA fiber laser.
The Best Technique for Laser Marking White ABS Plastic Surfaces
Laser etching on some plastics can be difficult, but various levels of contrast can be achieved depending on the type of plastic and the laser parameters utilized during the marking process. To achieve optimum contrast when laser marking white ABS plastic, the laser must melt or burn only the surface layer of the plastic. This type of laser engraving is sometimes referred to as “foaming.”
Laser foaming is accomplished by lowering the power of the laser, utilizing a low frequency, and moving at a high scan speed. The process of laser foaming facilitates a slow and controlled burn to create a dark mark on a light surface. The end result of this process is a smooth mark that is minimally invasive to the surface.
Read on to learn more about how you can use laser foaming or laser engraving on white ABS plastic surfaces.
Using the Proper Tools for Laser Engraving White ABS Plastic
When laser engraving white ABS plastic, it is important to use the proper machine. Not only are MOPA fiber laser systems reliable and efficient, but they also create distinct markings on plastic surfaces.
This mark seen above was made with our 10-watt fiber laser using the settings shown below.
Power – 40%
Frequency – 20,000 Hz
Scan speed – 1000 mm/sec
The most important part of the procedure is to maintain control. If the laser scanned too slowly, used too much power, or used too high of a frequency, the material would simply melt, as too much heat would be generated by the laser. In this case, it would be difficult to achieve a sharp, crisp character with ideal contrast. Thus, laser marking of plastics is a delicate balance of generating the correct amount of heat on the surface of the material to obtain the best mark.
