Whether you are exploring a new application, replacing an existing manufacturing method or preparing a proven concept for production, our engineers develop laser processes around your materials, components and manufacturing requirements.
From initial feasibility testing through to process optimisation, validation and production deployment, we help turn complex applications into robust manufacturing solutions.
Every successful process starts with understanding what you need to achieve.
Our engineers consider your materials, component geometry, required outcome, quality requirements and production environment before determining the most appropriate processing approach.
Whether the requirement is established or has never been done before, the objective is the same: develop a process that works for your application and can ultimately work in production.
Application and process development is ideal when you are:
Explore how laser processing could enable a new product, component or design.
Replace manual, mechanical or chemical processes with a controlled non-contact alternative.
Address quality, repeatability, scrap or throughput challenges within an existing manufacturing process.
Develop processes for challenging materials, geometries or selective material removal requirements.
Turn a successful proof of concept into a repeatable production process.
Develop the process and equipment needed to integrate laser processing into your wider manufacturing environment.
Selecting the wavelength and laser characteristics best suited to the materials and required outcome.
Developing power, speed, pulse characteristics and processing strategies.
Controlling how components are presented and positioned during processing.
Using galvos, rotary stages, XY motion or other configurations to achieve the required result.
Introducing vision guidance and positioning controls where required.
Using sensors and feedback to improve control of critical processes.
Developing part handling and integration appropriate to production requirements.
Creating controlled parameters and operator workflows for repeatable production.
Capturing production and process data where required.
