- [Laser Micro Welding](https://oxfordlasers.com/services/laser-micromachining/laser-welding/): Laser Micro Welding Glass to Glass and Glass to Metal Laser micro welding of glass or other transparent material to dissimilar materials is a new process developed from a recent Innovate UK project (Ultraweld) which has now gained traction in an industrial setting. Bonding metals to transparent materials is frequently needed in modern manufacturing. This laser technique, being a non-contact, high precision, high-speed process which does not require intermediate layers, provides great advantages to many industrial applications and settings. Oxford Lasers have continued to develop expertise in this exciting area and have new ultrafast laser processes for ‘glass to glass’ and ‘glass to metal’ micro welding across a… Laser Applications Engineer
- [Laser Surface Texturing](https://oxfordlasers.com/services/laser-micromachining/laser-surface-texturing/): Laser Surface Texturing Laser surface texturing is a process in which the characteristics of a materials surface are altered. Typically, the laser is used to create ripples or microstructures on the materials surface to alter wettability, friction and light management properties to name but a few.  Surface texturing can be performed using a range of lasers with different pulse lengths from nanosecond through to femtosecond.  Using the correct process, the surface can be modified with an array of either micro or nano structures of varying density and shape.  Typically, surface ripples of hundreds of nanometres can be created through to surface structures… Laser Applications Engineer
- [Laser Thin Film Removal](https://oxfordlasers.com/services/laser-micromachining/laser-thin-film-removal/): Laser Thin Film Removal (Patterning) Thin-film patterning is a selective laser ablation process which allows extremely precise removal of single or multiple layers from a material substrate to create precision circuits.   The technique of laser thin-film patterning can produce track and gap widths down to 5µm and with galvo control allowing full design flexibility for one offs to volume production.  During the process, the laser beam is scanned over the surface to produce the desired pattern. By altering the number of pulses at each point the depth of mark or pattern can be controlled. The flexibility of this process is… Laser Applications Engineer
- [Laser Scribing](https://oxfordlasers.com/services/laser-micromachining/laser-scribing/): Laser Micro Scribing Laser scribing is a laser micromachining technique which involves scanning a laser beam across a substrate to produce a series of blind cuts or scribe lines.  These scribe lines can then be used to ‘break’ or ‘singulate’ wafers or substrates. Laser micro scribing is a laser micromachining process which is used extensively for volume production of semiconductor wafers, fabrication of blue LEDs and photovoltaic cells for the solar industry, where very fine control over the scribing leads to an extremely well defined break, which is clean and can be free of micro-cracking. Scribing can also be used for surface… Laser Applications Engineer
- [Laser Milling](https://oxfordlasers.com/services/laser-micromachining/laser-milling/): Laser Micro Milling Laser micro milling can be used to selectively remove material from a wide variety of substrates, to form a wide range of blind features from pockets and channels to chamfers and many other 2.5D structures. Not only can the volumetric removal rate of these features be controlled with the correct choice of laser, but through various processing strategies, very accurate control of the features surface roughness can be obtained. Laser Milling Specification Minimum width of cut Typically 5µm Maximum Material Thickness Typically 1mm (dependent upon speed requirements) Materials Most materials from soft plastics to hard ceramics including… Laser Applications Engineer
- [Laser Cutting](https://oxfordlasers.com/services/laser-micromachining/laser-cutting/): Laser Micro Cutting Micro cutting can be used in the removal of larger areas of material from within a substrate as well as material separation.  Laser micro cutting, being a non-contact process, can be used to create a huge variety of very intricate shaped parts. When compared to traditional cutting or sawing, extremely small cut widths or kerf widths can be obtained.  Laser micro cutting can also be used for the separation of for example the final part or to leave tabs for subsequent final part removal. It can also be used to efficiently remove areas within a substrate creating larger holes, slots or… Laser Applications Engineer
