In medical technology, safety is paramount. Every step in the manufacturing process must meet the highest standards, from patient protection to regulatory compliance. Because direct part marking plays a key role in ensuring traceability and unique device identification (UDI) conformity, it’s essential that manufacturers of laser marking systems understand the complexities of industry-specific challenges, standards, and workflows. When cutting-edge technology meets application know-how, laser marking enhances both safety and efficiency in production.

But what exactly defines “safe marking?” How can maximum safety be built into the laser marking process from the very beginning? What must be considered when marking medical devices? And how can reliable, compliant markings be achieved?
