Laser Texturing is a surface engineering process that uses focused laser pulses to selectively modify material surfaces at a microscopic level. Unlike traditional abrasive or chemical methods, laser texturing enables:

• Controlled roughness, channels, or dimples
• Tailored surface functionalities (e.g., hydrophobicity, adhesion, friction reduction)
• Repeatable, non-contact, and contamination-free processing
• Texture depth and density control at micron precision

This technology is ideal for both industrial-scale production and high-precision research applications.

Core Machine Elements

• High-Power Pulsed Laser Source (Fiber, Picosecond, or Femtosecond Ultrafast Lasers)
• Advanced Beam Steering & Focusing Optics
• Precision Motion Control System (X/Y/Z & Multi-Axis)
• Stable Mechanical Structure for Vibration Isolation
• Computerised Interface with Pattern Generation Software
• Integrated Vision & Autofocus Systems
• Fume Extraction & Debris Removal Unit
• Optional Rotary and 5-Axis Modules for Complex Parts

These components work together to deliver accuracy, flexibility, and repeatability for diverse texturing tasks.

Unmatched Precision and Micro/Nano Control

Laser systems can texture with sub-micron accuracy, enabling the fabrication of controlled surface roughness, micro-channels, and complex geometries.

Non-Contact, No Tool Wear

Since the laser does not physically contact the surface, there is no mechanical stress, ensuring surface integrity even in delicate or thin materials.

Broad Material Compatibility

Suitable for:

• Stainless Steel
• Titanium
• Copper & Aluminium Alloys
• Ceramics (Alumina, Zirconia)
• Polymeric Substrates
• Carbon-Fiber Composites

Environmentally Sustainable Process

Laser texturing is dry and chemical-free, reducing environmental impact and eliminating the need for hazardous chemical handling.

Design Flexibility

Patterns can be changed digitally — from hexagonal dimples to wavy lines — with no need for new tooling, offering unmatched design agility.
