Laser micro-machining, FHNW School of Engineering and Environment

School of Engineering and Environment


Advanced 3D microfabrication with cutting-edge laser technology.

laser_mm_top.jpeg

In our research and development projects, we focus on:

  • Subtractive 3D microfabrication

  • Development of ultra-short pulse lasers, beam delivery systems, and Industry 4.0 technologies

  • Additive manufacturing technologies, as well as micro-cutting and micro-joining processes

These areas are among the fastest-growing applications in industrial laser technology and are closely interlinked. The development of new products and manufacturing technologies would not be conceivable without laser microfabrication in future markets such as renewable energy, microelectronics, information technologies, medical technology, and additive manufacturing technologies.
