Metal engraving with fiber laser engraving machines
Low power fiber laser engraving machines are used for laser engraving of metals. Think of stainless steel, aluminum, silver, platinum gold and a large number of other metals. The working area of a fiber laser is standard 10 x 10 cm or 20 x 20 cm and can optionally be enlarged to 30 x 30 cm. In addition to the difference in power, there are also so-called MOPA fiber lasers especially suitable for laser engraving in color.
Advantages of a fiber laser engraving machine
- Short engraving time. Also suitable for fast processes.
- No post-processing required, immediate production quality.
- Works on all metals and a number of plastics.
- The engraving is really tangible in the material.
- The engraving is permanent, other than printing, painting or with stickers.
- Flexible and quick to adjust or automatically numbered.
- Clean marking without additives and contaminants (medical, food, process industry).

Would you like a demonstration or example of a marking or engraving?
You are most welcome to see if fiber laser engraving machines are a suitable solution for your engraving application. You are welcome to bring your own digital design, material or object so that you can view the result on site. It is also possible to send samples and we will make a test engraving free of charge.
Differences between fiber laser and CO2 laser machines for laser engraving of metal
Wavelength of 1064nm
A fiber laser engraving machine is a laser machine that works with a wavelength of 1064nm compared to 10.6 um of a CO2 laser. As a result, a fiber laser can penetrate the surface of (precious) metals much better than a CO2 laser and engrave them with high resolution.
Non-moving laser head
In addition, a fiber laser works with a non-moving laser head, which is the case with a CO2 laser. The laser beam is deflected by a mirror that moves in X and Y directions and thus processes the surface. This has the great advantage that it is much faster than with a CO2 laser and is also much more accurate. The working area is smaller than with a CO2 laser machine. Also see wiki for more background information.
Materials suitable for fiber laser engraving machines
Fiber laser engraving machines can be used for laser engraving of metals and a number of plastics such as ABS. Think of materials such as:
- Metals: Steel, iron, stainless steel, (anodised) aluminum, copper, bronze, gold, silver, platinum.
- Plastic like ABS
- Faux leather, mirrors
It is possible to cut thin silver with a fiber laser. Inquire about the possibilities.
Engrave results of a fiber laser engraving machine
Engravings roughen (metal) or discolor (abs plastic) the material. The contrast of the engraving can be optimized by the right engraving settings. If color or real blacks are required then perhaps one MOPA fiber laser the better choice.
Where are fiber laser metal engraving machines used?
Manufacturing industry – metal & plastic laser engraving
Fiber laser metal engraving machines are widely used to engrave metal parts. Most engravings in aluminum, stainless steel or steel are placed within a few seconds.
- Placing logos and texts.
- Product traceability with type number, QR, DMC or barcode (also created dynamically and with automatic numbering). Can be scanned immediately with a mobile or scanner.
- Flexible shifting. Immediately usable for small but also high volume series.
- Color engraving / marking without affecting surface roughness.
Process industry
- Traceability
- Full automation (loading, unloading and machine control)
Hospitals
- Traceability and marking of tools.
Creative sector and jewelers
Gold, silver and platinum as used for jewelry can be easily engraved with a fiber laser metal engraving machine. In addition, in some applications where thin (precious) metal is used, a fiber laser can also be used to cut in a few steps.
- Laser engraving silver, gold & platinum.
- Personalize rings, necklaces, jewelry.
- New creations. Engraving in color.
- Laser cutting of thin (noble) metal.
Promotional gifts
- Engraving of metal objects, pens, USB sticks, knives etc.
Fiber laser engraving machine product range
MetaQuip supplies an extensive range of fiber lasers. Below is an overview of the fiber lasers that we offer as standard. Our fiber lasers are delivered completely complete and can be used immediately after delivery: plug in the plug and start engraving or marking. If you need help on how to use a fiber laser in your production process or adjustments for large series, we can also help.
This can be in the form of additional tools for quickly placing objects, for adjustments so that the machines can be placed in an automated production line and software adjustments and extensions. Finally, we can also design a tailor-made machine to your specifications, wishes and requirements.
Open fiber laser engraving machines
Maximum accessibility, can also engrave larger objects quickly, but you should take laser safety precautions yourself, such as laser glasses and the like. Open fiber laser engraving machines are normally supplied with a declaration of incorporation.

Metal laser engraving in color – MOPA marking laser
A number of MetaQuip fiber lasers can also be supplied with a MOPA source. Marking a MOPA is slightly more complex but has the following advantages:
- Reproducible colors engrave on stainless steel including real white and black.
- Surface is easier to clean. A MOPA mark laser does not roughen the surface like a fiber laser.
- Mark black laser on aluminum plates.
- Laser marking on plastics with greater contrast.
Product Traceability
100% Traceability of products is growing rapidly. Today it is no longer an exception, but rather a requirement that people want to know where the materials, parts and subassemblies come from, when and by whom they were made. Producers are increasingly required to provide product information on the product or product packaging. This has already been fully implemented in the food industry, but this trend is also on the rise in the high-tech industry. Fiber lasers are ideal for engraving codes (Barcode, QR, datamatrix) date or other product identification quickly and with high accuracy, also directly in the production line.
Why MetaQuip fiber laser metal engraving machines
Reliable quality machines
Machines we ourselves are behind. Striving for the best possible quality and constant machine improvements, make that we are currently supplying machines in this class that few others can match. Machines fully comply with the CE machine directive and are completely laser safe. The certification tests were carried out by external qualified test agencies.
Good service
MetaQuip likes to work long term with its customers. In our view, this requires good and honest advice during purchasing, transparent price building and delivering good and fast service when necessary. Good service seems trivial but we regularly get disappointed buyers of machines from others in the Netherlands or directly in China. We also help you if there are problems.
sharp prices
MetaQuip supplies all its machines complete and 100% functionally tested and controlled so that you can get started immediately. Prices include all necessary accessories, clear manuals and basic training. If you can find the machine cheaper elsewhere, we can look together where the differences come from and you can decide for yourself what you prefer.
Training included
At MetaQuip we want you to be able to use your machine. That is why we provide basic training with every machine we deliver, so that you can do the process from digital design to engraving or cutting yourself and connect your machine yourself. In addition, we offer the instructional videos to further train yourself. If you need more training or more in depth, we can take care of that. If you have any questions, you can email us and we will always help you further.
Design & Quality Control
MetaQuip is continuously working on improving its machines, both technically and product design and finishing. Every machine is checked for at least 90 points before it leaves the factory in China. Improvements and innovations are directly coordinated with the design team in China. After the machines arrive in the Netherlands, they are once again fully technical and laser safety checked before they are delivered and then tested 100% functionally. Only then will an appointment be made with you for delivery.
MetaQuip only works with selected, large suppliers with whom we have built up a long-term relationship. This is crucial to perfectly coordinate design and production and to deliver the quality that we want to stand for.
