Printing on Metal Parts

Industrial Marking Machines for Metal Parts Printing

Machined, 3D printed and moulded metal parts often require a range of codes to be printed onto them for internal or external traceability. Working with a partner that offers a wide variety of metal marking and product coding solutions, together with integration expertise, can be beneficial when specifying the optimal printing solution for your production line.

Laser or Inkjet for Printing on Metal Components?

Fiber Laser printing and continuous inkjet (CIJ) remain two common marking technologies for metal components. Videojet’s laser wavelength options provide great flexibility in matching different metal substrates – whether printing on aluminium, steel or zinc. CIJ printers offer easy integration for printing on a wide variety of metals and are an ideal solution to print on curved or indented surfaces. Videojet also offers MIL SPEC inks to meet specific military and aerospace requirements.

Videojet has inkjet and laser marking machines capable of printing high-quality codes onto most common industrial metals – including stainless steel, anodised aluminium, iron and nickel.
