Applications

Advantages

Medical equipment applications are unique, impacting both industrial development and public livelihood. Spanning medicine, machinery, electronics, etc., medical devices involve core technologies in medical polymers, laboratory medicine, and life sciences. As a capital-intensive high-tech industry, establishing it from nothing is challenging. Key pain points include:

· Stringent Precision Demands: Cardiac stents and minimally invasive instruments need micron-level processing—traditional mechanics often cause deformation or contamination.

· Material Compatibility Hurdles: Machining complex structures of special materials (e.g., nitinol, cobalt-chromium alloys, polymer composites) requires balancing biological activity and mechanical properties.

· Efficiency Bottlenecks: Rising demand for complex material processing exposes traditional methods’ limitations in efficiency, yield, and complex-structure realization.

Femtosecond lasers shine with these advantages:

· High-Precision Machining: Ultra-short pulses release energy instantly, minimizing heat diffusion. This enables precise material removal, micro-nano-scale operations, and tight heat-affected zone control.

· Broad Material Adaptability: Works on diverse biological materials—metals (titanium alloys, stainless steel), ceramics, polymers (polyimide, silicone), and biological tissues.

· Superior Machining Quality: Delivers smooth, burr-free surfaces. Critical for medical mini-parts (needles, catheters), reducing damage/contamination while enhancing biocompatibility and durability.

· Flexibility & Customization: Processes complex 3D structures without traditional constraints. Ideal for microfluidic chips, creating intricate microchannel networks for precise fluid control in biomedical applications.

· Efficiency & Sustainability: Completes complex tasks rapidly, avoiding chemicals like coolants/lubricants—cutting pollution. High precision also reduces material waste, optimizing resource use.
