Functional surfaces using lasers

Laser processing can be seen as a versatile problem solver for a wide range of challenges. Its strengths are particularly evident when it comes to functional surfaces, where the laser can fully demonstrate its capabilities.

Mold Making – Laser-Based Surface Solutions:

  • Surface treatment to improve venting properties
  • Surface modification to enhance adhesive bonding characteristics
  • Selective surface processing on mold inserts for detectability via light barriers, lasers, or vision systems in transparent plastic parts
  • Solutions to improve visibility of markings and labels
  • Venting via 5-axis laser machining as an alternative to conventional grinding processes

Functional surface by means of laser processing 

Mechanical Engineering – Functional Laser Structuring

  • Increasing friction through surface texturing
  • Structures to prevent material build-up on punches during powder compaction
  • Application of microstructures (e.g. gear-like profiles)

Laser processing ensures consistent quality across multiple and varying components.
