Femtosecond Laser Cutting & Micromachining

Ultra-Precise. Burr-Free. No Heat-Affected Zone.

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.

Precision Femtosecond Laser Cutting for Complex, High-Tolerance Micro Components

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.

What Is Femtosecond Laser Micromachining?

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.
