Fotofab offers premium laser cutting services for flat metal parts. At times parts are too thick for the photoetching process or the end-use application doesn't require the extreme precision of photo etching. In these cases, we utilize our extensive network of high-quality vendors to produce and complete your part.
Laser marking services are available on etched parts produced by Fotofab. Some common requests include:
- Logos
- Barcodes
- Serial Numbers
- Part Numbers
