R&D, testing and prototyping
A small lab with four laser wavelengths, full-color UV printing and multi-color 3D printing. We help research and product teams find out what works, document the settings, and make the first parts.
Services
Laser feasibility test
Send us your material, or tell us what to source. We run a test matrix on up to two processes and send back a photo report with the settings that worked, plus the physical samples.
- Up to two processes
- Test matrix of up to 20 settings
- Photo report with settings
- Samples returned
Material and parameter study
A structured study for one material across power, speed, frequency and pulse settings, with measured or photographed results and recommended settings for production.
- Designed test matrix
- Measurements and photos
- Repeatability check
- Written summary
Prototype and fixture development
Enclosures, holders, fixtures and microfluidic test pieces, iterated quickly with 3D printing and laser cutting.
- Design help from a sketch
- Fast iterations
- Mixed processes
- Small batch runs
Sample and specimen marking
Permanent IDs, codes and scales on metal, glass and plastic specimens, including small parts that labels won’t stick to.
- Sequential IDs
- QR and DataMatrix
- Glass and plastic
- Batch handling
How a study runs
Send the brief
Material, goal, constraints and any drawings. We can sign an NDA first.
We scope it
Which processes to try, how many samples, what we’ll measure, and the price.
We run the tests
Every setting is logged: power, speed, frequency, passes, focus.
You get the results
Photos, settings, recommendations and the physical samples.
Wavelengths available
Ultraviolet to far infrared, so we can compare how a material responds before choosing a production process.
