Snapmaker 1064 nm infrared laser module – precise engravings on metal & plastic

The Snapmaker 1064 nm infrared laser module is a powerful and versatile expansion module specifically designed for fine engravings on metals, plastics, and other opaque surfaces. With its infrared wavelength of 1064 nm, it operates reliably where conventional blue lasers reach their limits – ideal for precise markings on reflective materials.

Precision at a professional level

Thanks to the infrared wavelength, the module is capable of precisely engraving metals, coated surfaces, and opaque plastics.
Whether fine logos, serial numbers, jewelry, or technical markings – the 1064 nm laser achieves sharp contours, even lines, and durable results.

Unlike blue laser modules, which are primarily suitable for wood or non-reflective materials, the IR module offers maximum efficiency on reflective metals such as stainless steel or aluminum – without power loss or unwanted scattering.

Safe and reliable

The module features a multi-level safety concept:
An integrated tilt sensor automatically interrupts operation if the laser head is incorrectly installed or tilted.
This prevents the laser from remaining active outside the intended working area.

For additional safety, Snapmaker recommends using laser protection enclosures and safety goggles to ensure a maximally protected working area.

Easy operation & precise control

Setup is very simple: With the A-B positioning function, you select the desired engraving area by two points.
The module automatically determines a rectangular working area, so your graphic is precisely placed – perfectly matched to the Snapmaker Luban software.

The focusing is done manually via the focus lever:
Position the laser head, touch the material, and adjust the focus.
Optionally, the material thickness can be entered to set the focus even more precisely.

More efficient than blue lasers

While blue lasers are typically used on wood, leather, or acrylic, the 1064 nm infrared laser is the best choice for metal engravings, plastic markings, and technical labels.
The shorter wavelength allows for higher absorption on reflective surfaces, resulting in clean, high-contrast engravings – even on shiny metals.
