Apple products templates for laser etching

We had planned to release these templates a while back but as always happens… things got delayed and other designs got in the way.
But now with the release of the iPad, we had no excuses to not redo the templates and finally release them. So, if you are looking to get any [...]

Just laser etched our first iPad!

Kristofer just left the studio with his iPad fully customized. It was a bit of a long process, as the artwork wasn’t very clean, but Kristofer got some help converting it to vector and getting it ready to etch.
As we expected, the results were great, as the iPad has exactly the same type of backing [...]

Laser etch your iPad for free.

Laser etch your iPad for free.

UPDATE: we still have 2 free iPad etching to give away. These have been coming in slowly, but when the iPad finally is released in Canada on May 28, they will go fast. Book your free laser etching of your iPad today.

The iPad has finally been released. Although it hasn’t yet been released here in Canada, I went for a little drive into the US this weekend and stopped at the Apple store at Walden Galleria.

I must say: the iPad is a great looking device. It feels great in your hand and the display is absolutely amazing. As soon as I picked it up, I looked at the back and you have this large empty space, waiting to get customized. The backing is made of the same material as the original iPhone, anodized aluminum, which etches just amazingly well.

So, for the first 3 customers that come to our Toronto location to get theirs done, they can get it free.

This just to show you that really anything can be laser etched, not just your super [...]

Laser Etched Aluminum Portfolio

Laser Etched Aluminum Portfolio

This was an interesting etching!
Several customers (college students mainly) came over to the studio in the last 6 months to laser etch their Pina Zangaro Machina aluminum portfolios with their own custom designs but we always had problems with the etching and actually had to turn away a few people.
The problem? Well, I guess the [...]

Sportsnet Hottest Bartender ‘10 Etching

Sportsnet Hottest Bartender ‘10 Etching

We were extremely excited when approached by Sportsnet to laser etch and manufacture the awards for the “Sportsnet Hottest Bardtender ‘10″.

This project required some manufacturing and assemble that we weren’t too familiar with, but with the schematics and specifications from the Sportsnet creative department, the results were great. The awards look really cool and it was lot’s of fun working on these.

HiTechTattoos on Pimp My PC

A couple of weeks ago… last year, we had the crew of the show Pimp My PC at our office to learn what we do, how we do it and how cool laser etching your tech really is.

From the show: Lucas is sleeved out with Star Wars tattoos, making him look a bit like an enforcer in some kind of sci-fi Yakuza. Carrying around a decidedly factory default-looking laptop is not befitting a man who clearly holds customization near to his heart.

Happy New Year and Welcome to 2010!

This being our first post of 2010, we thought it was the right time to outline some of our strategy for 2010 and some of our resolutions, which I’m sure you have some of your own as well.
We will be working on some very interesting ideas on products to etch, etching processes and other ideas. We have been laser etching your gadgets… and other items, for almost 2.5 years, and in this period of time, we have learned a lot, not only about etching, but dealing with customers, etching different and sometimes strange items, and to always try new ideas, before telling the customer that the etching won’t work. This experience also helped us with the startup of 3 new HiTechTattoos locations in Canada and US. On that note, stay tuned for other locations opening in 2010!
