The main advantage of the UV laser technology is the multifunctionality and capacity of engraving over different materials, including non-metal materials. This technology is also able to use the automatization system. Liking rotary engraving, linear guide engraving, conveyor engraving system and Camera Capture System.

One of the disadvantages of the UV laser technology is the weak engraving over the metals. If you are looking for a machine that can engrave and carve metals, then the fiber laser engraving machine its going to be a better option.

In simple words, the main advantage of the fiber laser engraving machine is its capacity of engraving, mark and carve at high speed and the metal materials. The fiber laser also can mark different non-metal materials. But the result of the engraving on this materials it is not going to be as well done like with a UV laser machine. However, this is extra points for the fiber laser machines. The capacity to work perfectly over metals and to work over some non-metal materials.

The disadvantage of this machine it comes when we want to engrave non-metal materials. We can’t engrave or mark several materials that the UV it can engrave. For example: wood, glass, all the plastics, paper, or in general transparent objects. For example, this machine can engrave ABS and PLA both very common plastics in different products. The engraving over this plastic materials it has 5 to 10% of melting when we use the fiber laser machine. This means that when you touch with your finger its possible that you can feel the surface of the engraving just by touch. It is something that will never happen with the UV laser machine engraving.
