Companies mark their products for increased brand recognition, product tracking, inventory concerns, security concerns, and parts identification, just to name a few.
Typical industrial parts that can be marked are tool holders, ID tags, company logos, machinery specification signage, etc.
3. Trophy and award industry
Stellar Mark is not only designed for vector marking, it is also versatile for quality image engraving. Examples of personalized products that can be engraved are graduation gifts, cell phone housings, lighter engraving, photo engraving, etc.
4. Textile industry
Stellar Mark is a good solution for small area vector marking or engraving on fabric or textile materials.
With a speed of up to 300 character/sec, mass production jobs can be handled well for textile applications.
5. Automotive industry
Today's automotive industry has made particular use of this of marking in the manufacture of both functional and decorative parts. Components utilized for operational purposes are marked to instruct the driver how to operate them. Parts installed to add an aesthetic touch to a vehicle are sometimes imprinted with informative legends.
6. Aerospace industry
Many aerospace components need permanent identification that will not impact the material characteristics or their surface finish. Only non-contact laser marking can produce permanent images without compromising component integrity.
Typical aerospace parts that can be marked are jet engine airfoils, fuel testing equipment, backlit panels, aircraft cable connectors, aerospace fasteners, fuel nozzles, control assemblies, lighting and control panels, aircraft flow valves, missile parts, aircraft cabin windows, helicopter parts, shuttle parts, etc.
7. Medical industry
Typical medical parts that can be marked are drill holders, blade cartridges, measuring tools, indicators, ceramic implants, housings, etc.
The above businesses are not the only ones that can benefit from marking. Any other well-managed system can be integrated into your exiting business to expand your sales territory.
You can also join partnerships by meeting the special requirements of a particular kind of shop. For instance, you can collaborate with pet shops to offer the pet owners a pet tag marking service.

Can both Stellar Mark C-Series and I-Series make 3D images inside a crystal? |
Stellar Mark I-Series (1064 nm) and C-Series (10600 nm) are designed for surface marking on metal and non metal objects; to make 3D images inside a crystal a DPSS (Nd:YAG or Nd:YVO4) laser system will be required a shorter wavelength at 532 nm (green laser), 3 axis mechanical design of moving table with a special 3D engraving software to achieve the work.
With the current design of Stellar Mark C and I-Series, surface marking of simple texts, 2D images and cutting application (non metal material) are most recommended.
