Custom laser engraving silicone products

Silicone laser engraving, also called silicone rubber laser etching or silicone laser marking, is a surface treatment process that uses high-energy laser beams to personalize the surface of silicone products. Silicone products are made of silicone rubber materials and are molded by silicone molding. They have excellent temperature resistance, wear resistance, softness, and other characteristics. Various required texts, logos, or patterns can be formed on the surface of silicone products through laser engraving technology. This process is generally used in electronic products, instrumentation, automotive, communications, and other fields.

Application of custom laser engraving silicone products

Due to the silicone laser engraving process that can achieve small logos and text, the laser engraving silicone products meet the personal requirements of customers, are more concise and beautiful, and are widely used in maternal and baby products, kitchen supplies, and industrial customized silicone products.

Why do silicone products use laser engraving technology?

Using the laser engraving process, the surface of silicone products can be processed more precisely to achieve complex and clearer text and patterns.

Compared with traditional processing methods, it has a faster processing speed, which means higher production efficiency and early delivery.

There is no need to use chemicals or toxic solvents, making it more environmentally friendly and healthier than traditional printing and etching processes.

Laser-engraved silicone products are light-transmitting and are very suitable for use at night and in dim environments.

Compared with the traditional screen printing process, laser-engraved silicone products can be used in harsh environments for a long time.

It can be quickly adjusted according to the progress of design or production orders and has high flexibility to realize the processing of different shapes and sizes of silicone products.

Things to note when custom laser engraving silicone products

When performing laser engraving processing of silicone products, you need to pay attention to the following three points:

Using silicone with a thin surface will cause material deformation or dissolution problems, so engineers need to reserve sufficient thickness of the silicone material during design.

Regularly discharge and ventilate to prevent the gas after the laser cuts through the silicone rubber material from causing harm to the operator.

Wear professional goggles or sunglasses before the operation to avoid visual damage caused by looking directly at the naked eye.

How to custom laser engraving silicone products?

The laser engraving process for silicone products is to spray paint on the surface of the silicone product, then use a laser engraving machine to etch the sprayed layer to achieve customized letters, patterns, logos, etc. Common laser-engraved silicone products have a white bottom and black surface. The white translucent silicone raw material can transmit light better and save the time of debugging and mixing raw materials and the cost of auxiliary materials. Before laser engraving, a layer of black ink will be sprayed on the surface of the silicone product to seal the surface and prevent light leakage in areas other than the characters. Use laser engraving equipment to carve the required pattern characters, and the light can pass through the white silicone rubber to form a translucent or shiny effect. The following are the specific steps for spraying laser engraving silicone:

Step 1: Prepare customized silicone products, spray the required color paint, spray gun, laser engraving machine, and other materials and tools. Before starting the laser engraving operation, necessary protective measures must be taken to avoid laser damage to the human body and equipment.

Step 2: Place the silicone product on the spray stand and use a spray gun to spray specific parts. During this process, you need to pay attention to and control the thickness and uniformity of the spray layer to ensure consistent color quality.

Step 3: After the spraying operation, the silicone surface coating needs to be dried to ensure that the coating is dry enough and will not fall off or fade. Drying time depends on spray thickness and temperature. Generally the waiting time does not exceed 24 hours.

Step 4: After the spray layer is dry, use a laser engraving machine manually or programmed to engrave the required letters, patterns, etc. on the spray layer. Laser engraving machines can control the depth, speed, and precision of engraving to achieve custom surfaces on silicone products.

Step 5: After the laser engraving process is completed, make necessary inspections and corrections on the silicone products to ensure that the quality and effect of the laser engraving meet the initial requirements. If you find defective products, you can try to correct them with paint or other methods.
