Eliminate costly timeline slippages due to design changes and difficult transitions. At LasX, we’re committed to working closely with you to tailor a process that seamlessly evolves from the development stage to full scale production, sending your components to market faster. Design changes are inevitable as your product concept matures. Our patented technology maintains precise control over the converting process while allowing changes to feature size and placement without incurring extra costs and delays associated with hard tooling. Making a design change is as easy as generating a new CAD file.

MicroFlow Medical Services is dedicated to assisting you in the development of an all-inclusive production solution, beginning with your design’s conception. This allows you to capitalize on the inherent processing advantages of LaserSharp® technology. Our Process Development Group will collaborate with your design team to efficiently produce your components while maintaining a robust process window. Utilizing the LaserSharp® process from prototype stage through full-scale production eliminates the logistical setbacks associated with employing different process technologies during a design’s development.

Our digital converting technology utilizes patented laser control software integrated with high performance motion control systems, which produce extremely accurate features with tight tolerances and superior edge quality. LaserSharp® processed components do not exhibit the discoloration or edge charring associated with typical in-house prototyping systems. These benefits, combined with the ability to process pre-laminated structures, make digital converting an all-round advanced production solution for medical component manufacturing.

Advantages of Laser Technology

Improvements in medical device intricacy and increased market pressures are quickly exceeding the practical limits of convention tooling. Are you finding your medical component features too intricate to produce with conventional methods? Are your production lines constantly down due to adhesive build up? Finding it too difficult to meet required tolerances during traditional manufacturing? Looking for a laser process not limited to prototype volumes? Our LaserSharp® technology solves these impossible production challenges.

• LaserSharp® digital converting is a non-contact process ideal for converting adhesive materials without die constraints.
• At LasX, we readily convert medical components with critical features down to sizes of 100 µm that are held to tolerances of ±50 µm. Higher precision part tolerances are also more controlled due to our non-contact, computer driven process.
• When compared to other laser processes, LaserSharp® Digital Converting is over 20 times faster, allowing you to realize cost-effective, high volume production.
• Multiple processes such as cutting, scoring, perforating, scribing, and ablating can be completed in a single pass, allowing you to more efficiently create intricate part features than are available with conventional die-cutting.

Because we use the same process and equipment from prototype to production, we eliminate difficult transitions common with conventional methods. We’ll help you create finished product that’s identical to prototypes, slashing your development costs and time to market.
