The Benefits of Stainless Steel A little-known fact about stainless steel is that it was invented all the way back in 1913, more than one hundred years ago. Because of its resistance to rust, stainless steel was adapted for surgical tools between 1919 and 1923. Even today, the many remarkable qualities of stainless steel make […]
“What Tolerance Can You Hold?” When speaking to people about our laser cutting services, one of the most frequent questions I get is: “What tolerance can you hold?”. Tolerance is an important part of laser cutting, and in many cases, is influenced by several factors in the precision parts process. For R&D, the tolerance range […]
Working with Lasers Laser beams. These innocent beams of light have a lot going for them. Many think they are complicated, but in reality, they are pretty coherent. Whilst we may not actually have “Sharks with frickin laser beams,” we still have some cool toys at our disposal. Working in the laser industry opens up […]

Laser Cutting vs Punching Cutting Process 1. Deadmove – laser head moves to a soon to be scrapped area of the work material.2. Plunge – the laser activates and begins to cut through the workpiece.3. Path cutting – here the geometry of the part is followed by the motion control system. During this process, a […]
The Thing You’ve been Missing: Microvia Drilling Services As printed circuit boards get smaller, denser, and more complex, new techniques are helping manufacturers keep up with the trend towards miniaturization. Microvia drilling is an essential technique for advanced PCB architectures. We’re going to explore what microvia drilling is, why it’s surged in popularity, and how […]
