Advanced laser texturing

There are many different methods to change surfaces of metals to three-dimensional surface structures. At LES GRAVEURS, we use laser texturing for this purpose.

Laser texturing is a modern surface treatment that offers some new possibilities in the area of surface graining and structuring. These can be designed and produced very easily in tool molds.

The modern technology brings with it a number of advantages, especially in comparison to classic processes. Laser texturing is also an absolute pioneer, especially when it comes to process reliability, cost-effectiveness and ecology. However, processing with a laser turns it into a completely digitalized process chain that adapts even better to your requirements.

 

 

In contrast to other common surface treatments, modern laser texturing has many advantages:

• Exclusively digital process
  Machining by the laser is done exclusively digitally and everything is done in a single work process. This makes the entire process much more precise, reliable and repeatable, which was not possible before compared to other machining methods. In addition, the desired result can be viewed before the actual production, so that errors can be detected more quickly and rectified earlier. This can also reduce the cost of producing prototypes or design samples, as they can be laser textured directly without incurring tooling costs at this still early stage. It is therefore an overall fast process with short production times.


• Wide range of material usage
  Laser texturing means that there are virtually no limits to what you can do, especially when it comes to the use of materials for the workpieces. Lasers can use an enormously wide range of materials. These include aluminum, copper, steel, carbide, brass, ceramics, plastics and many more.


• Modern and environmentally friendly surface finishing
  The progressiveness of laser texturing is particularly evident when compared to the classic surface processing methods. In the classic processes, the workpieces are eroded, blasted or have been processed with the manual etching method. Laser texturing, on the other hand, does not use chemicals or other harmful agents, so it is much more environmentally friendly.


• Unlimited design possibilities of the texture
  Not only in terms of material use, you have an infinite number of design possibilities. The design possibilities of the texture are also unlimited. Due to the particularly high precision provided by laser processing, workpieces can also be processed in a very filigree manner. Your concrete and individual ideas can thus be comprehensively realized.

Overall, laser texturing produces a recognizably better end product that is also faster and more cost-effective for you to manufacture.
