Laser Cutting

Frequently used to make tiny features in medical devices and in electronics production operations, pulsed laser machining deposits very small, finite amounts of energy into a workpiece for extremely precise, reproducible material removal to a specified depth to ablate, cut, drill, machine or scribe a workpiece. It can create a variety of relief features, including grooves, slots and profiles, without actually cutting through the material.
