Evolve Your Production with Our Advanced Solutions at Radian Laser Systems
We have a selection of cutting-edge laser systems for marking or engraving plastic at Radian Laser Systems. Each of our products comes with a 1-year warranty to protect your investment.
CO2 Galvo Laser Systems
Our CO2 galvo lasers use high-performance 3D (3-axis) galvanometers and precision controllers, enabling ultra-precise marks with pinpoint accuracy.
These lasers are far faster than traditional gantry systems. This is because their mirrors can reposition the beam quickly, making them ideal for high-volume production environments like industrial marking.
Manufactured with 3D Technology for Marking on a Curve
Our advanced galvo laser solutions at Radian Laser Systems are recognized for their unique 3D Technology. This 3D technology allows for marking on a curve without the need to rotate the workpiece. This technology, combined with our optional Drinkware Rotary Kit, enables increased production and a unique capability to offer customers.
This feature is widely used on engraved drinkware. However, the feature can be applied to many irregularly shaped objects for greater versatility.

FAQs
What does precision laser engraving on polymers require?
Precision laser engraving of polymers requires a careful selection of your laser type and wattage to avoid melting. CO2 systems are often used because their wavelength is efficiently absorbed by most polymers, enabling precise cutting, engraving, and marking.
Wattage and settings are also vital. Delicate plastics need low wattages, while acrylics are suited for medium-wattage machines. We also recommend adjusting your speed, power, and settings for your polymer’s specific characteristics.
Why use CO₂ laser systems for plastic engraving?
CO₂ laser systems are used for engraving and marking plastic because they’re highly versatile and precise. Their key advantages include:
- They’re Flexible – These lasers can engrave on a range of plastics, including acrylics and PP.
- They Provide High Detail – These polymer laser engravers can achieve very fine details and intricate designs. This makes them ideal for detailed logos and text.
- They Produce High Speeds – CO₂ lasers are much faster than traditional methods. This increased efficiency means that businesses can complete products faster, reducing labor costs and increasing productivity.
- They Offer Customization – Our machines at Radian Laser Systems allow for flexible configurations for various applications. We also offer expansion features such as rotary and indexing tables to boost productivity.
What wattage laser system do I need for etching plastic parts?
It depends on the type of plastic and its thickness. However, lower wattages (20W to 30W) are generally sufficient for marking plastic parts. They provide a good balance between power and precision for clean marks without damaging the material.
