DIRECT PART MARKING
There are many methods to directly mark objects. Selecting the best method for the application is critical to achieving success. Each method has its own advantages and limitations.
 
Ink Jet
This type of marking uses small, dots sprayed directly onto the surface. Ink jet produces high contrast marks. Ink jet is not considered a permanent marking method.
Laser Etch
Lasers etch the symbol directly onto a surface. Clean, high resolution marks are produced making laser-etch well-suited for automated environments.
Dot Peen
Dot peen is a percussive marking method, using changes in depth to create marks. Dot peen is recommended for applications where the symbol must last the entire life cycle.

VERIFICATION
It is critical when marking parts with a laser etch, ink jet or dot peen, to verify the quality of those marks to ensure successful reads throughout the supply chain. Department of Defense suppliers are required to encode the data into a Data Matrix symbol and directly apply it to specific items to help facilitate item tracking.
