WHAT WE DO
Engineering-Driven Marking Partner
Carbide Products' laser engraving services provide permanent, high-contrast marking for tooling and OEM components requiring identification, traceability, and branding. Non-contact laser marking preserves dimensional accuracy and surface integrity while delivering consistent, production-ready results across prototype and production quantities.
Engineering Partnership
Laser engraving at CPI is integrated into the manufacturing workflow, not bolted on at the end. We collaborate with customers to determine optimal marking location, readability requirements, and durability considerations — ensuring markings are applied at the right stage of the process without compromising critical dimensions or surface finishes.

Have Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser engraving permanent?
Yes. Laser engraving produces permanent markings that resist wear, heat, and environmental exposure — ideal for tooling and industrial components that see demanding operating conditions.
Can you engrave hardened materials?
Yes. Laser engraving works effectively on hardened steels, carbide, and other difficult materials without introducing mechanical stress or affecting surface finish on adjacent areas.
Do you support production quantities?
Yes. We support both prototype and production volumes with consistent marking quality and repeatable positioning.
Can engraving be performed after machining or finishing?
Yes. Our integrated capabilities allow laser engraving to be performed at the appropriate stage of the manufacturing process — including as a final step before shipment.
