Add precise, permanent identification and markings to your plastic components as part of a complete manufacturing program by DWE.
Laser
Marking
Traceability
For many products, the manufacturing process isn’t complete when the part leaves the mold.
DWE provides plastic laser marking as a secondary operation for molded components requiring identification, graphics, or other permanent markings. By incorporating marking into the larger production process, we can help reduce supplier handoffs and simplify the path from molded part to finished component.
Our team can incorporate laser marking into your plastic injection molding and assembly program based on the requirements of the finished product.
Create precise, permanent markings on compatible plastic components without adding a separate labeling process.
Add identification and traceability information required to distinguish components throughout their intended use.
Coordinate molding and laser marking as part of one manufacturing program for more streamlined production.
Evaluate the part design, material, marking requirements, and manufacturing process together before production begins.
Managing molding and secondary operations through separate suppliers adds more handoffs to your production process.
DWE can integrate laser marking with its broader manufacturing capabilities, allowing components to move through additional operations as part of a coordinated program.
That integrated approach reflects DWE’s broader model of bringing engineering, molding, assembly, finishing, and quality expertise together to solve more of the manufacturing challenge.
Material selection, part geometry, marking location, and the information being applied can all influence how plastic laser marking should fit into the manufacturing process.
DWE’s engineers can review those requirements alongside the molded component to identify potential challenges early and develop the right approach for production.
That support can include:
Material evaluation
Part design review
Marking location considerations
Design for manufacturability
Process development
Integration with downstream assembly
DWE’s engineering approach is built around reviewing manufacturability and identifying potential production issues before they become costly problems.
Secondary operations are part of the finished product, so they need to be considered within the same quality-focused manufacturing process.
DWE combines engineering oversight, controlled processes, and inspection to help maintain consistency as components move from molding through laser marking and other operations.
Our broader quality program supports demanding applications with 99.7% defect-free production and an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system.
DWE’s plastic laser marking capabilities are part of a much larger manufacturing operation.
That means customers can work with one team for the molded component, marking, assembly, and other processes required to move the product toward completion.
