03In the workshop

The real laser,
doing the real work.

No animation in this bit. This is the Hamilton workshop: the fibre laser engraving a bottle on the rotary, marking a plate on the flatbed and putting a player's name on a medal, plus the CO2 laser that cuts the trophies and the 3D printer.

04Try it on

Your name. Your logo.
Your serial numbers.

Pick a blank, type your words or upload your logo, and watch the laser put it on. When it looks right, add it to your job ticket and you'll get a proper proof back before anything's marked.

A preview to get you started. Every job gets a proper proof, sized to the real part, before anything's marked.

05The material lab

Can you mark it?
Probably.

Every material takes the laser differently. Pick yours and watch a test piece get marked: the finish, the fine lines and a power test grid, the way a first sample would come off the machine.

06How it works

From a sketch
to a finished piece.

You don't need a perfect file. Scroll on and watch one of our trophies go from a rough sketch to the real thing.

  1. 01 · SEND IT

    Start with an idea

    A photo, a sketch on the back of an invoice, a logo, or the part itself. That's enough to get going.

  2. 02 · DRAW IT

    We draw it up in CAD

    Your job is drawn in 2D or 3D, sized to the part, layer by layer. You see a proof before anything's made.

  3. 03 · LASER IT

    Cut, engraved or marked

    The laser follows the drawing exactly. Whether it's one piece or a full production run, every job gets the same care.

  4. 04 · CHECK IT

    Checked and sent

    Every job is checked against your prints and specs before it leaves the workshop.

10Questions

Good to know.

Anything else, just ask. A quick call usually sorts it.

Call 021 272 6263
Do you do one-offs?

Yes. One piece or a full production run, low or high volume, every job gets the same attention.

What do I need to send you?

Whatever you've got. A CAD file, a logo, a spreadsheet of serial numbers, a sketch or a photo of the part. If you don't have a drawing, we'll draw it up in CAD.

Can you mark parts I already have?

Yes. Marking customers' own parts is a big part of what we do. Get in touch first so we can check the material and set up the job.

Will the mark wear off?

No. A laser mark is part of the surface, not printed on top of it, so it won't rub off, peel or fade the way ink and stickers do.

Can every part get its own serial number or QR code?

Yes. Send a spreadsheet and every part gets its own serial number, batch code, barcode or QR code.

How long does a job take?

It depends on the job and how many you need. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote and we'll tell you straight away whether we can make it.

Do you make trophies for clubs and events?

Yes. Trophies, medals and plaques, designed in CAD, laser-cut from layered acrylic and engraved with names, dates and logos.

Where are you based?

Hamilton, New Zealand. Call 021 272 6263 or email info@lasermarx.co.nz to talk through your job.
