TECHNOLOGY
Laser microstructuring and micromachining
We explore microholes, textures and precision geometries using pulsed lasers. The process is selected for the material, required geometry and target surface quality.
How it works
With pulsed lasers we remove or rearrange material at a very small scale. The same control opens a through-hole in a glass substrate, gives a surface a texture that changes how it behaves, or cleans a metal without touching it.
What it gives the material
| Property | What changes in the part | Where it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Microdrilling | Through-holes in glass and other substrates. | Electronics & Semiconductors |
| Surface texturing | Texture gives the surface functions such as hydrophobicity. | — |
| Precision geometries | Shapes defined by material and target surface quality. | Defense & Aerospace |
| Metal cleaning and stripping | Removes layers with no appreciable wear or oxidation of the metal. | Chemical & Process Industries |
What changes for you
- Replaces mechanical or chemical processes with a contactless one.
- No cleaning chemicals and none of the waste they generate.
