Thick parts and 3D components
In the nanosecond regime, each pulse melts and vaporizes a thin layer of material. The interaction remains partly thermal: a heat-affected zone always exists. Independent control of pulse duration and repetition rate makes it possible to reduce and control it, depending on whether the aim is fine marking, high contrast, coloring or deep engraving.
Ablation by Micro-Fusion
Local fusion and partial vaporization of material. The high intensity creates a plasma, causing ejection of molten material and formation of surface structures.
Structural Coloring
Formation of a thin transparent oxide layer on the surface. Colors appear through light interference, without chemical input or pigment, preserving surface integrity.
Surface Texturing
Creation of controlled micro-patterns, matte, satin or anti-reflective effects, modifying the visual or physical properties of the piece.
Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ)
Measurable thermal effects at the periphery. Heat transfer during the pulse (nanoseconds) causes microstructural changes and local deformation.
High-definition camera
Dedicated positioning for series
Accepted files
Vector: SVG, DXF, AI, vector PDF. High-resolution PNG or JPG images for photos and gradients. Vectorization is handled by the workshop.
Limits
No cutting of thick metal (over 2 mm), no chlorinated plastics (PVC). Glass is under development. If your application calls for another process, we tell you at the analysis stage.
Quality control
Visual inspection with a magnifier and a digital microscope. Test piece validated before any series. Each project’s parameters are archived to reproduce the result.
Lead times
Quote within 2-3 business days. Production: up to 3 weeks depending on complexity.
