What is Stainless steel?
Stainless steel is one of the highest-quality materials used in laser and engraving technology. It is used wherever durability, longevity and a high-quality appearance are required – from the production floor to representative signage.

Properties & processing
Why stainless steel
Stainless steel combines high mechanical resistance with a surface that retains its appearance even under demanding conditions. This makes it particularly suitable for markings that must remain legible over the long term, for example in industrial environments with moisture, temperature changes or mechanical stress.
The brushed surface further underlines the material's high-quality, technical character and is a commonly chosen standard for nameplates and plant identification.
Areas of application
Because of its robustness, stainless steel is preferred in industrial settings – for example in mechanical and plant engineering, where markings must stay legible for years.
