Industry Veteran Provides Laser and Polishing Services

High Tech Laser & Polishing Inc. has been serving the mold and plastics industry since 1985. It provides multiple services, including mold polishing, laser engraving, laser texturing, laser welding and more. The company’s polishing department offers finishes from mirror diamond, paper, stone and blasted according to the Plastics Industry Assn. (PLASTICS, formerly the Society of the Plastics Industry) standards. Many of High Tech’s projects require the polishers to work under a microscope for small and complex jobs — with the company’s many years of experience, it claims that its polishers are able to manage orders that require such attention to specific details. 

The laser department offers engraving, part marking, texturing, cutting and welding. High Tech’s lasers create detail with depths ranging from 0.0005" to 0.075" or deeper. It 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. In addition, the welding department offers laser welding and TIG welding services on various tool steels, aluminum and copper materials. After welding, High Tech states that it is able to blend down the weld to match existing surface finishes.
