Problem
The medical device industry requires precision machining of small, tubular components with tight tolerances, often from advanced materials like nitinol and stainless steel. Obtaining these specialized components can be slow and costly, hindering R&D and production timelines.
Solution
Sublime Laser provides laser machining services specializing in the fabrication of tubular components for medical devices. Using both femtosecond and fiber lasers, they offer precise cutting and machining of materials such as nitinol, stainless steel, and precious metals. Their femtosecond lasers vaporize material for exacting dimensions and minimal heat-affected zones, while fiber lasers melt material for efficient and accurate production. Sublime Laser aims to accelerate the design and manufacturing process, offering rapid turnaround times for both prototype and production quantities.
Target Audience
The primary customers are R&D teams and manufacturers in the medical device industry requiring precision laser machining of tubular components, particularly for neurovascular, cardiovascular, and peripheral vascular applications.
