Surface micro-nano patterning
Laser surface structuring enables the creation of controlled micro- and nano-scale patterns on metals, ceramics, polymers, and coated materials, allowing surface properties to be tailored without affecting the bulk. Using ultrafast laser pulses, material can be selectively ablated or modified with high precision, minimal thermal impact, and excellent repeatability. This makes it possible to engineer surfaces for friction control, wettability, adhesion, optical response, or biological interaction.
As a fully digital, mask-less process, laser structuring allows patterns to be defined directly from CAD data and quickly adapted, from simple geometries to complex hierarchical micro- and nano-textures. Its flexibility and precision make laser surface structuring a powerful tool for both process development and industrial applications.
KEY BENEFITS
BEST PLATFORMS FOR THIS APPLICATION
HDPRO is optimized for applications where ultra-high precision, stability, and surface quality are critical. Its compact, high-rigidity architecture combined with ultrafast laser compatibility enables extremely accurate micro- and sub-micro surface structuring on small samples and high-value components.
