Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

You can engrave stainless steel, brass, aluminum, gold, silver, titanium, and some plastics. The Monport GA 60W MOPA handles these with precision.
3. How do I get color markings on metal?
Color marking is achieved by adjusting pulse frequency and width on the MOPA laser. Stainless steel responds best to a wide range of settings, so test to find your ideal combination.
