When a micro feature demands finesse no conventional process can deliver, OEMs partner with Nanotech Precision. Our femtosecond laser micromachining services produce burr-free micro features in the most sensitive materials.
Femtosecond laser cutting is a non-thermal, ultra-precise micromachining process that uses ultra-short laser pulses — measured in quadrillionths of a second — to remove material without generating heat. This enables machining of fine features like micro holes and slots with no heat-affected zone (HAZ), no tool wear, and no material distortion.
At Nanotech Precision, our femtosecond laser machining services deliver sub-micron accuracy and repeatability across a wide range of materials and geometries. From medical devices to aerospace sensors and semiconductor components, we offer femtosecond laser processing for micro features that demand the highest levels of surface quality and dimensional precision. Ideal for micro hole drilling, fine slotting, and surface texturing, our femtosecond laser platform unlocks design possibilities not achievable with conventional machining.
Femtosecond laser micromachining — also known as femto laser cutting or femtosecond laser drilling — is a laser-based process using pulses so short they avoid transferring heat to the surrounding material. That makes it especially valuable for precision components in heat-sensitive applications like medical implants, microelectronics, and aerospace components.
Imagine cutting an intricate design into tissue paper without burning or tearing it. Femtosecond lasers offer that level of finesse — but for materials like titanium, polymers, and even precious metals. The pulse vaporizes material on contact, without friction, heat, or mechanical stress, producing burr-free edges, tight tolerances, and ultra-clean surfaces.
Modern manufacturing increasingly demands features below 25 microns in diameter or width, with consistent results across high-volume runs. Femtosecond laser machining lets engineers push the limits of design while maintaining reliability, precision, and repeatability — especially in regulated industries.
Clients choose Nanotech Precision when accuracy, material control, and design freedom can’t be compromised. Our femtosecond laser machining services combine advanced technology with deep process expertise to deliver ultra-precise micro features that support high-volume production.
With in-house engineering, cross-disciplinary integration across multiple work centers, and a genuine passion for solving complex challenges, we’re a trusted partner in regulated, innovation-driven industries. We don’t try to win every project — we build responsible relationships with people who value what we bring to the table, and then we deliver, order after order.
Nanotech Precision partners with OEMs in regulated industries that share alignment in values and purchase components with micro features at high volumes. The Innovation Lab partners with R&D groups in regulated industries developing next generation products. We target ideal-fit partners who share our values and have the potential to become strategic, long-term customers.
A heat-affected zone (HAZ) is the region around a cut where heat from a machining process alters the material’s structure. Because femtosecond pulses are so short, material in focus is vaporized before heat can spread — so there’s effectively no HAZ, no thermal distortion, and no change to the surrounding material’s properties.
We can produce hole diameters under 50 microns and slots under 25 microns, with demonstrated tolerances around 0.5 micron. Share your drawing and we’ll confirm what’s achievable for your geometry and material.
A wide range — metals such as titanium, MP35N, and tungsten carbide; polymers such as PEEK and polyimide; and precious metals such as gold and platinum. If you’re working with an unusual or heat-sensitive material, ask us.
Femtosecond laser is ideal for ultra-fine features, heat-sensitive materials, and burr-free results with no secondary finishing. It also pairs well with Swiss-turned or EDM parts when a component needs micro features added. We’ll help you choose — or combine — the right process for your part.
Yes, we can add intricate micro features to Swiss-turned or EDM’d parts within a single in-house workflow.
Yes. The process is flexible for prototyping and scales to full production, with R&D-to-production support through our Innovation Lab.
Nanotech Precision is ISO 13485:2016 certified (Cert. #5747MED001) and CMMC 2.0 Level 2 certified
