How to set up my file for laser etching?

If you need to set up your file for laser etching, we’re happy to help! Please note: we don’t offer cosmetic etching or engraving. At this time we can only provide a faint single-line etch that is best for simple markings like part numbers and crosshairs. Take a look at the example below.

We have more examples of single line etching here. Please bear in mind that parts with single line etching cannot be deburred since deburring will erase the etch marks.

If a faint etch will work for your project, we have detailed file setup instructions here: Setting Up Your Design for Single Line Etching
