Glass & crystal shaping
Cut freeform outlines, scribe controlled separation lines, drill optical ports, open fluidic channels, texture surfaces, and resize brittle crystals with zero heat and zero tool contact.
Explore capability ↗Active wafer processing
Shape active device wafers, open sensor and MEMS features, resize photonic substrates, form isolation cuts, and create nonstandard die geometries with programmable, contact-free toolpaths.
Explore capability ↗Precision metal features
Form slots, apertures, flexures, meshes, electrodes, isolation cuts, and intricate outlines with zero heat distortion and zero tool wear.
Explore capability ↗Polymer film conversion
Convert polyimide, PEEK, PET, adhesive stacks, diagnostic films, flexible circuits, sensor layers, and composite laminates without dies or mechanical contact.
Explore capability ↗Microholes & apertures
Create circular and noncircular holes, tapered bores, nozzle arrays, fluidic ports, vents, slots, fiducials, and electrical isolation features across material classes.
Explore capability ↗Selective layer ablation
