At St. Paul Engraving, we’re redefining what’s possible in firearm manufacturing with advanced laser texturing and engraving technologies. Precision and innovation are key in this competitive industry, and our solutions are engineered to meet these demands head-on.

By utilizing cutting-edge technologies we provide firearm manufacturers with new opportunities for enhanced design, shorter production timelines, and unmatched quality.

5 Axis Laser Technology, Including Femtosecond Capabilities: Unmatched Precision

This ultra-short pulse technology delivers:

> Sharper geometries and intricate details: Perfect for branding marks, optical patterns, and functional grip textures.

> Minimizing thermal impact: Ensures cleaner cuts without warping or damage to sensitive components.

This technology allows us to customize aesthetically pleasing & function efficient textures for our customers, unlocking innovative design solutions not achievable with traditional techniques.

Z Focus Shifter: Faster, More Efficient Machining

Our Z focus shifter, paired with high-speed 3D scanning, can reduce machining times by up to 40%, optimizing production efficiency. Key features include:

> Dynamic beam adjustment: The laser matches the mold’s contour without moving the machine axis.

> Streamlined production: Fewer machine positions and larger patch sizes result in faster machine time and short lead times.

This technology ensures firearm manufacturers can meet tight deadlines without compromising precision.

Flexi-Pulse Sources: Redefining Surface Quality

With the ability to adjust pulse durations (4-200 nanoseconds), Flexi-Pulse technology provides:

> Flawless surface finishes: Minimizes burr, recast, and microfractures for clean, functional designs.

> Unparalleled versatility: Ideal for engraving deep cavities or intricate mold designs in firearm components.

Paired with ability to switch between multiple sources optimizing for detailed engravings or large-scale texturing—all while maintaining exceptional quality.
