The plastic cover was laser marked with a 20-watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser with a 160 mm focal length lens. The part was marked with both a barcode along text. The marking was made to show the feasibility of the laser and to imply a typical cycle time and what type of contrast can be produced. The barcode was read well in the lab with Symbol DS 3407 Barcode Reader. The total time for the text and the barcode was 10.57 seconds.
