Our Lasers, Fiber
The metal specialist. A fiber laser puts permanent, high-contrast marks into bare metal, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and titanium, with the speed and repeatability industrial marking demands. Serving Wilmington, DE and the Mid-Atlantic.
A fiber laser generates its beam through an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements, producing a tightly focused, high-intensity spot at roughly a 1.06-micron wavelength. Bare metals absorb that wavelength readily, so the laser can etch, deep-engrave, anneal, or polish metal that a CO2 laser simply reflects off of.
At Victory Laser Engraving, the fiber laser is how we deliver permanent metal engraving, metal business cards, dog tags, branded tools, firearm and gear marking, and true industrial part marking with serial numbers and traceability codes. It is fast, precise, and built for production.
When the part is metal and the mark has to last, fiber is the answer.
Crisp etched or annealed marks on knives, tools, tumblers, and medical-grade hardware, corrosion-resistant and permanent.
Bright white marks on bare aluminum and crisp contrast on anodized parts, nameplates, panels, and brackets.
Fine detail on challenge coins, jewelry, gold, and silver, deep engraving or delicate surface marking.
Serial numbers, lot codes, QR and Data Matrix codes for traceability and compliance, repeatable across full production runs.
Premium engraved metal cards, dog tags, and luggage tags with luxury-grade contrast and edge detail.
Durable logo and identification marking on tools, equipment, and firearm components (where legally permitted).

Common questions about fiber engraving and metal marking.
Fiber lasers are built for metals: stainless steel, aluminum, anodized aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, gold, silver, carbide, and many engineering plastics. They produce permanent, high-contrast marks where a CO2 laser cannot touch bare metal.
Annealing is a fiber-laser technique that heats stainless steel or titanium just enough to oxidize it below the surface, creating a smooth black or colored mark without removing any material. The surface stays sealed and corrosion-resistant, ideal for medical, food-contact, and tool marking.
Yes. Fiber is the standard for serial numbers, barcodes, QR and Data Matrix codes, logos, and compliance marking on metal parts, repeatable, permanent, and fast for production runs of one to thousands.
The wavelength. Fiber runs at about 1.06 microns, which bare metals absorb readily; CO2 runs at 10.6 microns, which metals reflect but wood, acrylic, and glass absorb. In short: fiber for metal, CO2 for non-metals. For delicate, ultra-fine work we use a UV laser.
