Files go straight onto the machine
Artwork arrives in the formats a customer emails, a designer exports and a retailer sends as a brand asset:

They live on the machine’s own 10 inch 1280P Android touchscreen — no separate computer to buy, find bench space for and cable up. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB all get a file onto it.
Cutting fixture
Holds thin sheet flat, which is what makes an outline cut repeatable rather than a one-off.
Fume extraction
For a shop that marks and cuts through the working day rather than between repairs.
Inside band
The job that decides it
Inside-Band Engraving and the Rotary Device
Inside-band work is the most requested engraving job at a retail counter, and the one that decides whether a marking machine on your bench is useful or half useful.
A flat-field marker focuses on a plane. The inside of a ring falls away from that plane within a few millimetres of the centre line, so the beam is in focus for two or three characters and out of focus for the rest of the sentence. No setting fixes this.
On the M3 the band is held on the rotary device, the surface turns under the beam, and every part of the text is marked at the same focus. That is why we treat the rotary as the standard configuration for inside-band work rather than as an extra.
Flat field holds focus on one plane only.
Rotary brings the whole inscription to that plane.
Rotary brings the whole inscription to that plane.
What goes inside a band
- First names, full names and dates
- Handwriting and fingerprint artwork traced from a scan
- Coordinates and short messages
- Ring sizes, metal marks and your own hallmark
- Serial numbers for memo stock and repair records
- Outside surfaces, pendant faces and reverses, flat within the field with no rotary at all
Pulse duration
Surface Anneal and Engraved Groove
A MOPA source lets the pulse duration be set, and that one control separates two completely different results on a finished jewelry surface.
Surface anneal
- How it is made
- A long pulse at lower peak power. The energy heats the surface without reaching the point of removing it — the surface changes, not the shape.
- What it means on a band
- It reads as text, sits level with the metal around it, and does not send the ring back onto the wheel to be finished.
Engraved groove
- How it is made
- A short pulse at high peak power. The same energy arrives concentrated, the heat-affected zone stays narrow, and metal is removed to leave a groove with a floor.
- What it means on a band
- It survives decades of wear and re-polishing. It also takes metal out of a section that carries the ring, and a wearer catches it with a fingernail.
A fixed-pulse Q-switched marker has no choice to make here.
It has one pulse. The only way it can produce a darker, more legible mark is to go deeper — which on a thin or already-sized shank stops being a cosmetic decision and becomes a structural one. On the M3 the choice is made per job, not built into the machine you are stuck with.
Stroke edges
Where the burn lands
Stroke Edges, Small Text and Positioning
Text inside a band is small, because the band is narrow. A script font at that size has thin strokes, and a logo from a brand file has hairlines drawn to be printed rather than burned into metal.
Marking accuracy
Keeps the counters inside letters open at the size a narrow band actually takes.
Galvo speed
A filled area is covered fast enough that heat does not build up underneath the fill.
Position preview
The text is seen sitting where it will sit, at the size it will be, and moved before it is permanent.
When energy spreads sideways from where it was aimed, thin strokes thicken, the counters inside letters fill in, and a traced signature comes out as a smudge with the handwriting gone.
Putting the same energy in with a narrower heat-affected zone keeps the burn where the vector was. That is the second thing pulse control buys.
How we hand the settings overMetals
The range, given up front
Metals a Jewelry Laser Marking Machine Covers
Given here rather than discovered after delivery. Pick a metal and read what comes off the bench.
Colour, and the commercially useful pair
Stainless steel and brass take colour — cheap blanks, high perceived value, and a result a customer cannot get from an engraving service down the road.
Both take flat marks and engraved grooves too, so one blank type covers a name tag, a branded disc and a colour figure.
Colour · mark · engraveBlack, and it is a different job
Anodised aluminium marks black. A different result from colour, and quoted as a different job rather than folded into a colour price.
The right answer for high-contrast text on a light anodised finish: equipment plates, event tags, branded pieces.
Black mark · not colourMark and engrave, no colour
Gold, silver and platinum mark and engrave, no colour. That is the great majority of what crosses a jewelry counter, and it is served by the depth choice instead: a flat mark inside a band, a groove where the mark has to last, a hallmark on finished stock.
Silver is the exception. It reflects more of the beam than gold or steel, and it darkens over time in a way that changes how a mark reads a year later. A normal job — with its own settings rather than settings borrowed from the steel side.
Mark and engrave, no colourBeyond the jewelry metals
The marking side also covers painted surfaces and hard plastics — gift work, watch parts and eyewear components, which arrive on the same day as the rings.
One machine takes the ring and the spectacle temple — the difference between quoting that order and sending it down the road.

Colour Work on Stainless Steel and Brass
Set up once per blank type and per finish, signed off once, then repeated from a stored file and a written set of settings — not guessed at on each order.

BlackBlack, not colour. A different result, quoted as a different job.Colour is signed off on the physical piece, never on a screen.
A display renders it under its own backlight; the metal renders it under whatever light is over the counter. Colour is also the most parameter-sensitive work the machine does: the same file on the same metal lands elsewhere if the alloy came from a different batch, if the blank is brushed rather than mirrored, or if it sits at a different height in the fixture. How the colour is produced
The bench method
The Parameter Recipe Behind Repeat Orders
This decides whether engraving stays an occasional favour or becomes income. Most of it is how the bench works, not what the machine has in it.
What the machine gives you
A one-press material preset that loads a starting point instead of zero, and file storage on the 10 inch screen so a job’s artwork is still there next month. Everything below is what the bench does with that — method, not a feature list.
Test tile first
Same metal, same surface finish. Never the customer’s piece and never an expensive blank.
Write the settings
The settings that produced the accepted result go down against that job. Thirty seconds of writing.
Signed on the piece
The tile is the sample the customer signs off, in the light they will see the piece in.
Filed together
Tile, settings and artwork file go into the job folder as one thing, not three.
Load, do not rebuild
The second piece and the fiftieth run that stored set. Nothing is rediscovered.
Check in this order
The blank, then its surface finish, then the height it sits at, then the file. Four checks will find it.
Changing settings first will not find it, and that is the habit the recipe exists to break. None of this is exotic. It is the difference between a job you can quote from a folder and a job you have to rediscover at the bench every time it comes back.
2 → 50
The Second Piece and the Fiftieth
- Same settingsThe set that made the approved piece still exists in writing.
- Same fileThe artwork has not been re-exported at a different scale.
- Same blanksBox two is the same alloy and the same finish as box one.
Engraving revenue at a repair counter is zero until a tray of samples exists on that counter.
We mark your first trayTurnaround
Where the hours go
Setup Time, Run Time and Turnaround
Repair is quoted by the job, by eye, from experience. Marking has a different shape, and quoting it like a repair loses money both ways.
What the returned tray tells you
A single inside-band engraving is not a cheap job, and a batch of thirty is not thirty times one.
When we return your test pieces we mark which jobs were setup-heavy and which were run-heavy, and write the stored-file name next to each — so you know what to take at the counter and what to batch to a marking morning.
Same-day on the second order
A repeat job with a stored file and written settings is a same-day job.
It can be run from the screen by a second person while the bench owner is welding — the point at which marking stops competing with repair for the same pair of hands.
Stock decisions
Blanks and Stock for a Counter
Repair carries no inventory: the customer brings the piece. Marking is the first time a counter has to hold stock and guess what sells.
Repair holds nothing
The piece walks in. Nothing is bought ahead, nothing sits on a shelf, nothing is written off unsold.
That habit is what makes the first blank order either cheap or expensive.
Marking holds a little
Stainless steel and brass blanks are inexpensive, take colour, and photograph well enough to sell online as well as at the counter.
Tags, discs, bar pendants and cuff plates cover most requests. Precious metal blanks tie up capital and are better ordered against a taken order.
- One finish per blank
- A brushed disc and a mirror disc in the same metal are two set-ups and two signed samples — double the preparation for no extra sale.
- Two sizes, not five
- Two sizes of tag that both work is better stock than five that each cover one request.
- Sheet instead of stock
- The same MOPA source cuts blanks from thin sheet, so a shape you cannot buy is one you make on the bench and mark without sending it to a second machine.
Start narrow, and in the metals that do the most visible work.
Thin-sheet cutting on the same sourceExisting pieces
Before the machine is switched on
Marking a Customer’s Existing Piece
A mark on a customer’s own piece is permanent and visible, which makes it a different assessment from a weld. Four readings are taken, and any one of them can move the mark onto a blank.
Plated or not
A mark through rhodium or gold plate breaks the surface in a way that shows against the plating around it.
How thin the section is
The inside of a band that has already been sized down has less metal in it than it looks like it has.
Whether it is marked already
An existing hallmark or an old hand-engraved inscription sets where a new mark can sit.
What the piece is
An heirloom with an original maker’s mark is not a blank. Removing or crowding that mark is not something to discover afterwards.
Where any reading says no, we say so, and the usual answer is to put the mark on a blank that goes with the piece rather than into it — a charm, a tag or a plate.
For a counter that cannot make the call on a particular piece: send it. We make the call and write back which of the four readings decided it.
