The plastic cover was marked with a 20-watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser with a 160 mm focal length lens. The part was laser marked with both a barcode along with the text. The marking was made to show the feasibility of the laser to imply what 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.
