A Femto Laser System for SSAIL operates by delivering ultrashort laser pulses to locally modify surface chemistry and topography without thermal damage. These laser-induced activation sites act as catalytic regions during subsequent electroless metal plating, enabling selective metallisation without additives, masks, or wet chemical etching. The process supports complex 2D and 3D geometries and works with standard engineering plastics such as ABS, PC, PEEK, and polyimide. Integrated CNC motion, high-speed scanning, and automation-ready software make SSAIL a scalable and industry-ready solution for advanced additive electronics and smart surface manufacturing.

Ultrafast Femtosecond Laser Processing

Femtosecond pulses enable precise surface activation at the micro- and nano-scale with negligible heat-affected zones, preserving substrate integrity.

Maskless and Chemical-Free Metallisation

SSAIL eliminates the need for pre-coated materials, chemical etchants, or laser-sensitive additives, simplifying workflows and reducing environmental impact.

True Selective Surface Activation

Only laser-treated areas are metallised, allowing fine conductive traces and complex patterns on flat or curved surfaces.

Wide Material Compatibility

Compatible with mainstream engineering plastics, polymer films, ceramics, and composite materials without special formulations.

High-Resolution Surface Modification

Enables conductive trace widths below 30 microns, supporting dense circuit routing and miniaturised electronic designs.

Excellent Metal Adhesion

Laser-induced micro/nano-texturing enhances metallisation adhesion strength, ensuring durability under vibration and mechanical stress.

Automation-Ready Architecture

Designed for seamless integration with robotic handling, vision systems, and inline plating processes.

Green and Sustainable Manufacturing

A dry, clean process with no hazardous chemicals, consumables, or waste streams—ideal for Industry 4.0 and cleanroom environments.

3D-MID and Additive Electronics

Direct writing of conductive paths on injection-moulded plastic parts for antennas, sensors, and embedded circuitry.

Automotive and E-Mobility

Lightweight integration of circuitry into dashboards, steering components, lighting modules, and sensor housings with reduced wiring complexity.

Consumer Electronics and Wearables

Creation of antennas, electrodes, and interconnects on curved or flexible enclosures for compact, high-performance devices.

Medical Devices and Microfluidics

Selective metallisation on biocompatible polymers for biosensors, lab-on-chip systems, and diagnostic cartridges without contamination.

Smart Packaging and Human-Machine Interfaces

Integration of NFC antennas, touch sensors, and transparent conductive features on packaging and interface surfaces.

Aerospace and Defence Electronics

Embedded conductive paths on high-performance polymers and composite structures for lightweight, ruggedised electronics.
