Holes in Hard Metal

Femtosecond laser micro-drilling stands out by its accuracy and minimum heat affected zone. The process is applicable to a wide variety of materials, including different metals, ceramics, polymers, and glass. The ablation speed and the taper of the hole depend mostly on material thickness and hole diameter. For example, ablation speed – up to one hole of 30 µm in diameter and 18 µm out diameter in 50 ms. Femtosecond laser micro-drilled holes are required for filters, nozzles and many different tools.

Other Microfabrications

Femtosecond lasers are extremely versatile tools allowing a great variety of different microfabrication processes, like micro-ablation, surface structuring, micro-welding, laser marking, micro-cutting and more.

Laser Nanofactory

Hybrid Fabrication

Laser Nanofactory workstation allows hybrid fabrication, meaning that various processes are supported by the same equipment. The two of our most frequently used processes are multiphoton polymerization and selective glass etching, however that is far from all!

Contract Manufacturing

Feasibility Studies

A feasibility study is composed of several steps, including researching methods for fabricating micro-structures, fabricating a micro-structure prototype, measuring and aligning the prototype with technical requirements, and finally preparing a study report.

Small Scale Production

Small-scale production is an essential step in the overall process of micro-structure fabrication, helping to ensure that the developed process is effective, efficient, and capable of producing high-quality micro-structures at scale.
