Very few people are aware of structuring, ablation, drilling and cutting with ultra short pulsed lasers. The rise in the popularity of micro-processing, however, has focused more attention on these processes.
Structuring: Produces uniformly arranged geometries in surfaces with the goal of inducing specific changes to the surface’s technical properties. In such structures, one single element often measures only a few micrometers.
Laser ablation: Is usually used in the manufacturing of tools and molds as well as in electronics, sensor and semiconductor technology. The laser can also be used to trim resistors or mark parts by selectively removing thin layers of material.
Laser drilling: Over the years, several drilling processes have developed from the basic method:
- Single-shot and percussion drilling
- Trepanning
- Helical drilling.
