Application · Ultrafast cutting

Cut and split brittle glass with chipping under 5 microns.

Picosecond cutting and splitting uses an ultrafast laser to cut brittle glass cold, holding plus or minus 0.01 mm accuracy from 0.03 to 25 mm thick at up to 500 mm/s. Irregular shapes cut with no taper and no burrs, chipping stays at 5 microns or less, and the process makes no powder and no waste water.

What the process does

Built for picosecond cutting & splitting.

01

Irregular shapes at speed

The picosecond laser cuts freeform and irregular shapes at high speed, opening designs that mechanical scoring cannot follow.

02

Chipping under 5 microns

Cuts come out with no taper, no burrs and chipping of 5 microns or less, so parts often need no secondary finishing.

03

Thin to thick brittle glass

One platform handles ultra-thin UTG and willow glass up to thick optical and architectural glass, from 0.03 to 25 mm.

04

Clean and high-yield

No powder and no waste water, with low consumables and energy use, improving the economics of brittle-glass cutting.
