When precision matters most
The Medical Device industry was an early adopter of lasers, and today there are more tools than ever in the toolbox, to advance existing processes and offer expanded capabilities such as fine cutting, welding, and marking. Laser-based technology offers precise processing that enables design freedom in terms of materials, miniaturization, and shape, while providing manufacturing reliability.
The webinar introduces some of these new technologies for welding, tube cutting and permanent marking processes, along with important process insights.
In the Medical Device Industry we need very specialized processes in combination with many product variants and need for flexibility. So in addition to the fundamental laser processes, the webinar also discusses machines that match these specific production methods and offer optimum performance/cost solutions.
This webinar provides updates on the latest processes and machine capabilities that will benefit anyone already using laser processing in the medical device industry. It will also provide an excellent introduction to newcomers, by illustrating the breadth of laser capabilities as well as state-of-the-art process examples. Register now to reserve your spot!
