Metal
Whether you need to mark, cut, drill or weld metal—our solutions are tailored to your specific metal processing requirements.
• Ablate, oxidize, melt, or remove layers from various metals
• Laser cutting, drilling, and welding solutions available

Mark, Cut, Drill, and Weld Metals
Laser marking of metal is a common manufacturing process for adding identification and traceability to various components. Markings are permanent, require no additives or coatings, and can be easily automated.
CMS Laser also designs solutions for cutting and drilling thin metals, and for welding various components. With the introduction of new ultrafast lasers, metals can be processed with minimal heat-affected zones (HAZ).
Capabilities
Various types of steel can be processed with our laser systems. Create high contrast markings, deep engravings, cuts, and welds.
Used throughout many industries for its lightweight properties, titanium reacts well with lasers and can often produce various color effects.
Laser mark logos, text, serial numbers and more onto aluminum using fiber lasers. Create high-contrast surface markings without additives on bare aluminum using new ultrafast lasers.
Laser etching brass results in a bold dark marking, making it a very commonly marked material. Brass is typically used for plumbing fixtures, jewelry, shell casings for ammunition, badges, signs, and more.
Similarly to brass, this metal is used in many industries—from electronics to cookware and more. Brass can be processed in many different ways.
