Ultrafast vs. Traditional Laser Micromachining

Selecting the right laser technology is critical for successful micromachining applications. Both ultrafast femtosecond lasers and traditional nanosecond lasers have distinct advantages.

Ultrafast Laser Micromachining (Femtosecond):

  • Cold ablation processing – no heat-affected zone or microcracks

  • High precision microfabrication – ideal for sub-micron features

  • Smooth surface finish – minimal recast or debris

  • Material flexibility – effective on transparent, brittle, and composite substrates

Traditional Nanosecond Laser Micromachining:

  • High material removal rates – faster for bulk work

  • Cost-effective laser machining – optimized for industrial throughput

  • Proven reliability – widely used for ceramics, coatings, and metals

 

Femtosecond ultrafast micromachining is the ultimate choice when high precision, finish, and structural integrity are critical. Opt for nanosecond laser machining when speed and cost efficiency are the driving factors. At Lightwave Precision, LLC, we offer both, and will help you decide which service is best for your application needs.
