New: meviy expands engraving service to CNC turned parts
A new level of design freedom
In manufacturing, clear part identification isn’t merely a convenience — it’s essential for quality assurance, traceability, and smooth assembly. Yet, adding durable markings to turned components has traditionally required manual handling or secondary operations that slow production down.
With meviy’s new laser engraving service for CNC turned-parts, engineers can now integrate precise, permanent markings directly into their digital manufacturing workflow. From serial numbers and part codes to alignment indicators, every detail can now be engraved during production — with no additional lead time and full compatibility across all materials and surface treatments.
Precision meets personalization
meviy is proud to announce a new update to its on-demand manufacturing platform: engraving is now available for CNC turned parts.
Following the success of our engraving services for CNC milled and sheet metal components, this enhancement extends the same precision and design flexibility to lathe-machined parts — empowering engineers to add detailed markings, serial numbers, or identifiers directly onto cylindrical or flat surfaces.
Whether for traceability, assembly orientation, or aesthetic branding, laser engraving ensures durable, high-contrast markings that remain visible throughout a component’s lifecycle.
What engineers struggle with
In traditional machining workflows, marking turned components often requires separate manual operations such as stamping, laser etching by third parties, or adhesive labelling. These steps are not only time-consuming but can compromise quality and consistency. Manual marking introduces several issues:
- Risk of deformation or surface damage, especially with thin-walled or heat-treated parts.
- Extra handling and outsourcing, which extend lead times and increase the risk of errors.
- Limited traceability, as markings may fade, misalign, or fail to meet industry labelling standards.
For sectors such as automotive, machinery, and electronics, this creates avoidable inefficiencies in quality control and assembly.
What this launch changes
The introduction of laser engraving for CNC turned parts directly within meviy’s workflow resolves these pain points. Engineers can now define engraving requirements ( from serial numbers and batch codes to alignment marks) during the quoting process. The markings are applied automatically during production using a non-contact laser process that maintains the part’s dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
By integrating engraving into the manufacturing stage, meviy:
- Eliminates the need for post-production marking or external suppliers.
- Guarantees permanent, high-contrast markings resistant to wear and corrosion.
- Ensures traceability and compliance without any impact on lead time.
- Enhances overall workflow efficiency by keeping the process fully digital and automated.
This launch closes the final gap in meviy’s offering, making it a truly end-to-end manufacturing solution for engineers who value both precision and speed.
Why engraving matters in CNC turning
For many engineers, the need for permanent and precise part identification has become a key part of design and production. Traditional marking techniques like stamping or etching can risk deforming thin-walled components or altering surface finishes.
With laser engraving, meviy offers a non-contact, high-precision method that maintains surface integrity while providing crisp, permanent results.
The process is ideal for parts requiring clear labelling in assembly lines, traceability in production, or aesthetic branding on visible components.
