Polymers are commonly used in medical and biotech devices (e.g. catheters, meshes, filters, membranes, microchannels) and in the microelectronic and sensor industries for insulating layers in multi-level devices. Other high precision uses of polymers include their use as deposition masks (for the production of high-resolution features such as micro-electrodes) and nozzle plates.
LML can machine all common engineering polymers – polyimide (PI), polycarbonate (PC), polyester (PET), PEEK, Nylon, PMMA, PTFE, FEP, acrylics and many more. All these polymers can be cut with high precision and high quality – the following images show typical results for laser cut polymers.
