Scope of Engraving

For sheet metal engraving services, only the appearance is supported. The finish may vary depending on the material and processing machine conditions. For details, please refer to “Engraving“.

Character Size

  • Half-width alphanumeric characters and some symbols (+-. #$%&()=*:? /_~) can be freely entered.
  • Line feed and space input are also supported.
  • Font (font, spacing) and line spacing cannot be specified.

Character Size

Due to the definition of font size, there may be deviations from the specified size depending on the content.

  • *Depending on the material and characters, 3-5.0mm may cause character blurring.
  • *Size is only a reference value. Dimensional accuracy is not guaranteed. Depending on the text content, there may be cases where the size differs from the specified size.

Angle of the engraving

  • Rotate counterclockwise at 45 degree intervals.
  • These are reference values only and accuracy is not guaranteed by quality assurance.
Initial value 0 degree (end-face reference)
Angular pitch (standard value) 0 to 360 degrees (45 degree intervals)
