High-Tech Laser & Polishing is a service provider that supports mold builders and molders with multiple services that include mold polishing, laser engraving/texturing and laser welding.

The image above, a die that has been 3D laser engraved with some laser texturing, provides an example of some of High-Tech Laser’s capabilities. The company engraves on tool steels, aluminum, copper and graphite for electrodes. Logos, cavity ID, tool identification or text can be accomplished on a contoured surface, a sidewall or down in a deep pocket. High Tech Laser also has laser cutting capability for a 5' x 10' sheet of material. Laser cutting can range in material thickness from 0.003" – 0.500" thick.

The polishing department offers finishes from mirror diamond, paper, stone and blasted according to SPI industry standards. Many of the company’s projects require its polishers to work under a microscope for small, detailed jobs.

In addition, the welding department offers laser welding and TIG welding services on various tool steels, aluminum and copper materials. On many projects after the part has been welded, High-Tech says it will blend down the weld to match the existing surface finish.
