Femtosecond Laser Tube Cutting

High-Accuracy, Heat-Free Laser Machining for Micro Medical Tubing.

Precision Hypotube Laser Cutting for High-Accuracy Medical Components

Laser cut hypotubes are a critical element in modern medical devices, enabling the creation of ultra-fine features, complex geometries, and burr-free edges in small-diameter tubing. At Nanotech Precision, we specialize in femtosecond laser cutting for hypotubes, delivering sub-micron accuracy with no heat-affected zone—ideal for tight-tolerance applications in the medical and surgical industries.

Our femto tube cutters are equipped with multi-axis precision controls that allow us to deliver unmatched edge quality and repeatability on components like stents, cannulas, marker bands, and surgical instruments. With the ability to process diameters as small as 0.25mm (0.010”), Nanotech is trusted by OEMs and contract manufacturers alike for high-volume medical laser tube cutting that doesn’t compromise on performance or quality.

What Is Laser Cut Hypotube Processing?

Laser cut hypotube processing involves using a highly focused laser beam—often a femtosecond laser—to cut, drill, or chamfer small-diameter metal tubing. These lasers vaporize material with such speed and precision that no heat is transferred to surrounding surfaces, resulting in clean, sharp, burr-free cuts.

Think of it as the scalpel of manufacturing: fast, delicate, and exact. Femtosecond laser cutters can machine complex micro features into hypo tubes made of Nitinol, stainless steel, or platinum iridium—without any warping, microcracks, or recast. This is especially important in catheter-based devices or minimally invasive surgical tools where both form and function are critical.

In modern medical manufacturing, the need for precise and miniature components continues to rise. Femtosecond hypotube cutting plays a vital role in enabling next-generation medical device design, allowing engineers to build smaller, safer, and more capable products.
