LUMERA LASER has a very fine laser job shop where they offer cold ablation micromachining job shop services. Having invested in an extensive applications lab, they eventually decided to use this facility for job shop work. They have lased over 600 sample sets in the apps lab. Now these same engineers are satisfying lots of customer needs! No one is more experienced at industrial ultrafast micromachining than LUMERA! With this cold processing, material is removed without delivering heat to the work piece!
Picosecond lasers are ideal for applications where you do not want:
- Heat affected zone
- Recast
- Burrs
Stainless Steel
In addition, the picosecond laser can deliver much more precise results: each pulse removes between 10 and 100 nm thickness, so as you can readily imagine, we can do highly precise removal. The picosecond lasers generally can do 10:1 and lower aspect ratio work, but there are exceptions. We will get a very fine quality finish for you.

Any material can be lased! Materials we have successfully processed with picosecond lasers is at the bottom of this page.

Please email us and tell us what you are trying to accomplish and we will reply quickly to give you some indication of whether your application is a good fit for the job shop we have.
Applications examples are ITO removal, micro molds, structuring metal foils, reduced friction in engines, stents, 3D structures in Kapton, cutting and Drilling and structuring Ceramics and any other material, wave guides in glass, and just about anythign you can imagine!
200,000 holes in PV material per second!
Positive taper holes in SST in just seconds with virtually no recast!
