Abstract

A method for manufacture of a substantially flat rigid measurement tool (10) of the type formed of a substantially non-ferrous lightweight anodized metal plate (11) with measurement markings (12) thereon. The inventive method includes the steps of anodizing the metal plate to create a dark anodized layer (13), forming the flat rigid measurement tool from the anodized metal plate, and creating non-removable substantially white measurement markings by oxidizing selected mark-areas (15) of the dark anodized surface to a depth below the anodized layer. The markings are created by application of a laser energy. The metal plate contains aluminum and the non-removable substantially white markings are formed by oxidized, aluminum.
