Higher level micromachining

Apply directly grained aspects, including anti-scratching features, in a one-step operation as you engrave your parts. Achieve sharper geometries, lower Ra levels and higher brightness.

High process efficiency

With a lower cost per part, your Laser machine will be more efficient than ever. Engrave or texture in a fast and automated way. Post-processing is practically eliminated.

High flexibility

Two Laser sources in nanosecond and femtosecond pulse durations can equip the same machine. Toggle very quickly from one to the other. Depending on the application or desired results, it is possible to combine and vary performance, quality and even coloration.
