Introducing FreeWave™ Specialized Silicone Laser Processing

 

No longer are you constrained by Design for Manufacturability!

FreeWave™ specialized silicone laser processing provides you with design freedom to create intricate features

on your LSR molded silicone part like never before. 

  • 360° design freedom

  • Precision cutting

  • Char-free

  • Spot-size down to 15 microns

  • Stable & repeatable process

 

FreeWave laser processing makes features
such as unique hole shapes and locations a reality! 

Even simple circular through-holes are improved due to the ability to cut holes without touching the part. With

mechanical punches, the silicone is compressed during the cutting operation which distorts the resulting shape.

With FreeWave laser processing, your true design intent is realized - with the final product precisely matching your engineering drawing.

                                                                                                                                                                       

                                                 Watch this video to see how Freewave is changing the ophthalmic device industry.
