Laser Micromachining
Gateway Laser Services specializes in laser micromachining features on parts requiring micron-level precision for the life sciences and medical device industries. Our laser systems cleanly process most polymers/plastics, metals, and ceramics (both tubular and flat stock materials). Featured services include laser cutting various apertures on catheter tubing and other medical tubing, along with laser drilling micro-holes for flow discs used in oxygen and drug delivery. We can assist with prototype development, along with contract manufacturing services for full production parts.
Benefits
Precision
Highly accurate, consistent micromachining with features down to .0002” (5µm) and tolerances down to +/- .00004” (1µm)
Quality
Exceptionally clean processing across most polymers/plastics, metals, and ceramics while maintaining the integrity of the material
Scalability
Quick turnarounds for prototype development or contract manufacturing services for full production parts
