Since 1967, Crystal Mark, Inc. has pioneered the use of Micro Abrasive Technology for a myriad of applications. The company has a track record for developing processes in electronics, aerospace, precision machining, medical manufacturing, semiconductor technology, glass engraving, fossil preparation, and more.
About Crystal Mark, Inc.
More often than not, an application is developed and refined in the Crystal Mark Abrasive Laboratory. The Crystal Mark team works closely with the customer to determine the methodology and cost of the process. Once established, the customer has a choice to either continue with the contract outsource service in Crystal Mark’s job shop or purchase equipment to do the work in-house.
Micro Abrasive Technology: Products, Equipment, Automated Systems
Crystal Mark manufactures the SWAM BLASTER® line of micro-abrasive processing equipment. With vertical manufacturing capabilities to develop a range of custom fixtures and production support, Crystal Mark is able to cover the widest range of applications in the industry starting from standalone machines to fully automated systems.
- Customers have the flexibility to select and combine a choice of SWAM BLASTERs with ergonomic work chambers, fixtures, dust collectors, and accessories.
- The company has developed integrated workstations and work cells as well that provide turn-key answers for applications such as conformal coating removal, controlled erosion, surface preparation, deburring, medical device cleaning, etc.
- For large scale industrial applications, Crystal Mark specializes in fully automated abrasive blasting systems tailored to the specific work environment of their customers.
Crystal Mark’s customers get in-depth consultation and training to use and maintain the technology.
The Crystal Mark team supports customers for the lifetime of the equipment with abrasives, nozzles, and spare parts.
The effectiveness of Crystal Mark’s technology for conformal coating removal is independently confirmed by NASA in a detailed analysis: Evaluation of ESD Effects During Removal of Conformal Coating using Micro Abrasive Blasting.

Micro Abrasive Blasting Technology: Origins
The Micro Sand Blaster was initially developed in the 1940s by Dr. Robert Black, specifically for dental cavity preparation, where the application was called air abrasion.
Ernest Swan, the founder of Crystal Mark, Inc., developed industrial applications using this unique technology and formed the company in 1967. Today, the company is owned and operated by his three sons, and also two of his grandsons.
Crystal Mark, Inc. continues to lead the way with new and innovative applications in Micro Abrasive Blasting technology.
