Columbia Marking Tools – Home of the Square ◙ Dot®
Columbia Marking Tools’ patented Square ◙ Dot® scribe marking enables encoding data, such as 2D Matrix codes, onto hard materials at very high speed with Grade “A” readability, the highest standard rating, equivalent to 1,200 reads per second with no variations.
Scribe Mark Examples
Clear Scribe Marking
The Diamond Scribe creates very clean looking marks. The diamond tip embeds into the substrate and carves the characters. This is different than a dot-peen or pinstamp method. In the pinstamp operation the carbide pin quickly impacts the surface in rapid succession while the marking head is moved across the surface tracing the characters.

Marking techniques: Scribe marking on plastic
The I-Mark Scribe has a diamond tip to clearly mark on a wide range of materials. This is an example scribe mark on a plastic helmet. The example also shows how the tip can easily mark on a contoured surface.

2D Code: Dot-Peen VS Square Dot
This is a great comparison between the standard dot-peen 2D code and the Patented CMT Square-Dot version. A 2D code, or Data Matrix, is specifically designed to be read by a vision system. This machine readable code can be put on parts in a wide variety of methods. These methods include ink jet, dot-peen, scribe, and laser. Dot-Peen and Scribe provide the solutions with the deepest marks, are considered permanent, and economical as compared to other methods
