Why not? If you're using commonly available parts (or why else would you want to remove the IC markings?) then why shouldn't the "thing" be repairable? We already have too many disposable, non-repairable things in this world.  :palm:

Arek_R:
It will be potted and enclosure riveted, also as a industrial product none of the customers would even think of fixing it.
I guess I will just have to buy the engraver and find out myself.

Did you read my post #9?

I can't find aything at Arrow, though.

There's usually a set up charge, after that it's a few cents per device.

Arek_R:
I don't want to be rude but I didn't ask for this stuff.
I know there are better options but I don't look for best options.
I've just asked for some advices regarding lasering it off yourself, why do you guys have such a hard time understanding this.
Issue is that there were many qty of the ICs already bought and making it a top secret product came afterwards from the directors/managers, I don't have much control over this.
Also those 10k/year is nothing guaranteed, it would be nothing new if the customer would just cancel it out of nowhere.
Before they wanted to used secondary type of hard black potting as a separate process but it makes the entire manufacturing process a nightmare.
Once it's a established product in a full swing then yeah I would organise the component suppliers or 3rd parties to either manufacture ICs without markings or get it removed professionally, but where the project is now it's not a viable option.

Arek_R:
Your response I so dumb I'm going to assume you're just a troll.
