About LID Laser Industrie Design
LID Laser Industrie Design is a sole proprietorship based in Ilmenau OT Gehren in southern Thuringia, specialising in laser engraving and laser marking. The company performs marking and engraving as contract work using a state-of-the-art YAG laser, both by color change and by material ablation. Its service portfolio includes the numbering and identification of components with abrasion-resistant laser marking, coding and inventory marking with tamper-proof labeling (barcode, Data Matrix, QR code), as well as permanent marking and identification, for example with laser foil or on promotional items. Materials processed include metals such as stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminium and titanium, plastics such as thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers, as well as laser foil, slate and promotional items. The offering is aimed primarily at industry but is also carried out for private individuals.
