High-Precision Laser Processing for Medical-Grade Glass Components
Our laser technologies enable ultra-clean, high-precision machining of glass and glass-ceramic components used in diagnostics, surgical tools, and implantable devices – ensuring full compliance with biocompatibility, traceability, and sterilization standards.
Precision Glass Processing for Medical Technology
In medical technology, precision, cleanliness, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. From point-of-care diagnostics and surgical optics to implantable devices and sterilizable systems, medical glass components must be processed without introducing microcracks, thermal stress, or contamination.
Our laser-based micromachining platforms deliver non-contact, tool-free solutions for cutting, drilling, texturing, and selective coating removal. Our cleanroom-compatible systems ensure process stability, traceability, and reproducibility – supporting both R&D and high-volume production of critical medical devices.
