In 2010, Swisstec started extensive research and development in the field of ultrafast Femtosecond Laser Technology. It applies this high-repetition rate laser technology to give its customers the optimum solution for their applications. Ultrashort pulses minimise heat-affected zones (HAZ) and offer the highest level of high surface quality and precision, beneficial for the most demanding applications such as stent manufacturing.
