All about SiTECH’s LaserEdge

Laser marking is a permanent process that utilizes a beam of light to create a mark on virtually type of surface. It’s performed with either a fiber, pulsed, or continuous wave laser machine, and can be used in anything from keypad design to engraving. It can be used on many materials, such as silicone, steel, titanium, aluminum, plastic, copper, ceramic, glass and wood.

Here at SiTECH Corp., we are proud to use LaserEdge ™ as our trusted laser marking system, designed for use in silicone keypad applications. We invented LaserEdge specifically for applications that require backlighting. We mark key tops easily and accurately, without altering the underlying color or damaging the silicone material. The result is a very durable marking process at a high quality — even for applications that require small font sizes and detailed graphics.
