PadPrinting

Where flat surfaces end, pad printing demonstrates its strength: precise marking even on complex geometries.

Precise Marking – Even on Uneven Surfaces. Not every component offers a perfect printing surface. Pad printing truly shines on curved, uneven, or textured surfaces. MWIB utilizes pad printing for precise and detailed markings on a wide variety of component geometries. An elastic silicone pad picks up the print image from the printing plate and transfers it to the workpiece. Its flexibility allows the pad to conform to the component surface, enabling the printing of shapes that are difficult to reach with other printing methods. Logos, symbols, scales, operating instructions, and technical markings can be applied with fine details and crisp contours. The process is suitable for numerous materials, including plastics, metals, and glass. Typical applications at MWIB include: • optical components and apertures • housings and technical components • keyboards and control elements • logos, symbols, and functional markings. Pad printing is therefore particularly suitable for companies in mechanical engineering, optics, medical technology, electrical engineering, and mechatronics, where, in addition to functionality, clean and precise marking is essential. Another advantage of MWIB: We can combine marking with other manufacturing processes. Depending on the component and requirements, screen printing, laser marking, engraving, or UV digital printing are also available, for example. Is your component round, curved, or simply difficult to print on? Bring it to FMB. We'll find the right marking method for you.
