Micromachining Systems are fully integrated laser systems that include everything you need for various micromachining applications in a wide variety of materials. Typically, these systems include a laser source, video camera with microscope objective, video software, and a graphical user interface (GUI), for example.
Laser micromachining (also laser micro-machining, laser beam micro-machining, or precision laser machining) encompasses various processes, including cutting, drilling, milling, turning, threading, structuring, and marking. These processes or applications can be utilized for the processing of micron-level features in various materials such as metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, thin films, and more.
Typically, micromachining refers to a subtractive process (removal of material), with features in the micron range, from a few microns up to a few hundred microns. Micromachining can be performed with direct writing from the laser beam, trepanning or other processes utilizing galvanometer mirrors or through image projection or mask projection.
Micromachining allows for very fine features to be machined, with minimal heat affected zone (HAZ), a low level of roughness, high aspect ratios, and other benefits over macromachining, or machining with traditional, physical tools, even to the point that most features would be impossible to create with traditional methods.
