Fiber vs CO2 Laser Review
Fiber, CO2, flatbed, UV…with so many laser system choices it’s sometimes difficult for consumers to understand what system will best suit their immediate needs while supporting room for growth. Radian Laser Systems is a manufacturer of Fiber and CO2 Laser systems that offer the unique ability to mark on curved or irregular systems without object rotation. Customers come to Radian specifically for this unique feature. We’re often referred to as the leader in drinkware customization systems and while our systems are great for drinkware, they are amazing for many other applications. Our diverse lineup of fiber and CO2 systems in various form factors allows us to truly customize a system to meet our customers unique applications.
Fiber lasers systems are designed for annealing, deep etching, engraving or marking inorganic materials such as metals, stainless steel, and lightly powder coated surfaces. Making them ideal for part marking of serial numbers, barcodes, part numbers or contact information where the system is simple removing paint or gently etching the surface without damaging the integrity of the part. Some industrial applications are increasingly using fiber lasers for removing rust, oxides and contaminants. These systems are inexpensive to own as they typically operate using less power than a CO2 system, they have low maintenance and do not require larger fume extractors or external chiller units as a CO2 does.
