Hi David, Not quite sure what your final product would look like, but I may be able to help you out. The company I work for products lasermarking device, and one of the main function is to place barcodes on metal and plastic. We can produce very high resolution barcodes with the device, the one problem maybe the depth of the engraving you require. Attached is Datasheet for the product we sell. Regards, Darron.

To get lower than 1mm resolution, chemical milling or photochemical etching might be then next step. NFI on the cost. -- Richard Carde On 21 Jul 2011, at 02:25, Keith Peck <kp...@smsmt.com> wrote: Have a chat to a stamp maker. I'm sure you aren't the first person to want a metal stamp and certainly won't be the last. A laser cutter will be able to do what you want, but they are restricted by the width of the cutting "beam", which in the cases I've seen is actually quite wide, something in the area of 1mm. Worst case scenario is you will need to go to a jeweller.

So something like a branding iron onto leather. (or forehead[1]) :^) Of course, if you're using a laser, you could use that direct on end material to produce code. But maybe you want to sell the stamp to ppl without a laser.
