The parts were laser marked using a 20-watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser with a 160mm focal length lens. The parts were surface marked to create brightly contrasting marks. The parts were marked using various parameters, resulting in various cycle times, gradients, and mark quality on the sample.

The plastic door handlers and trunk finishers were marked with a 20-watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser with a 160 mm focal length lens. The paint film was ablated using 18 watts of power, a frequency of 30 kHz. The paint film on the largest trunk finisher looked thicker than that on other parts so that more passes of lasing were applied.

The parts were marked with a 10-watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser marking system and a 160 mm focal length lens. The parts were surface etched, to create a contrasting mark. The parts were marked with two different serial numbers, each with its own cycle time. The samples with the serial number 4088605 resulted in a cycle time of 1.82 seconds. The parts were marked at 25 inches per second using approximately 8 watts of power with a frequency of 25 kHz.

The parts were laser marked using a 20Watt Fiber Laser Marking System with a 160mm lens. The 160mm focal length lens has a working distance of 176mm from lens to part. Two different logos were marked on the samples on each end. The main logo had a cycle time of 1.67 seconds. The other logo had a cycle time of 2.59 seconds. The logos mark on the coated dark sample provided better contrast than the light material.

The parts were marked using a 10 & 20 Watt Fiber Laser Marking System using a 160 mm lens. The parts were marked with both an etched mark and a dark surface mark. The etched marked was done using the 10 Watt Fiber laser and had a cycle time of 0.45 seconds. The dark surface marks were done with a 20 Watt Fiber Laser, the cycle time was 0.45 seconds. The two different types of marks were done to show variety and to provide more than one marking option. The parts were also marked while covered in the lubricant that was in the bag that the parts came in. The parts were not wiped off before being marked.
