Our Equipment: Built to Deliver State-of-the-Art Microfabrication

We’ve invested nearly a million dollars to build a lab with world-class tools and integrated software. From dual-laser fabrication to advanced metrology, our environment is engineered to accelerate your device development—so you don’t have to invest in the infrastructure yourself.

Design → Toolpaths → Laser Fabrication → Lamination → Assembly → Metrology → Test → Iterate

Featured Equipment

Dual Laser Microfabrication System

Our dual-wavelength platform combines IR and UV beams to process metals and polymers with exceptional precision. It’s the core of our “design → toolpaths → fabricate” loop, enabling rapid iteration, reliable features at the micron scale, and production-ready repeatability.

IR + UV in one system for flexible process windows
Micron-scale features with clean edges and tight tolerances
Toolpath & process-optimization software for fast iteration
Fixturing & registration workflows for multi-step builds
Proven on thin metals, films, laminates, and composites

Scanning Laser Microscope

Non-contact optical profilometry for micron-scale surfaces. Generates high-density 2D/3D maps that reveal feature height, roughness, and edge quality—closing the loop between fabrication and metrology for rapid, data-driven iteration.

2D/3D surface mapping with nanometer-class vertical sensitivity
Quantifies roughness, step height, taper, and edge quality
Stitching for larger fields of view and whole-device scans
Direct export to analysis/QA reports and SPC workflows
Integrates with fabrication runs for fast “measure → adjust”

High-Speed Camera

Captures microsecond-scale motion so you can see dynamics that are invisible at standard frame rates. Ideal for turbines, membranes, valves, and micro-mechanisms—paired with our analysis pipeline to quantify motion, frequency, stability, and wear.

Ultra-high frame rates for transient events and fast cycles
Mounted to inspection optics for micro-scale fields of view
Motion tracking & frequency analysis for performance tuning
Frame-accurate correlation with drive signals and test data
Exportable clips for reports, reviews, and client validation

Inspection Microscopes

High-magnification optical inspection for build quality, geometry, and defects. Flexible illumination and measurement tooling support fast go/no-go checks and detailed dimensional reviews throughout the fabrication cycle.

Coaxial/ring illumination for edges, vias, and surface contrast
Measurement reticles & digital overlays for quick metrology
Tilt/rotate staging to inspect complex micro-features
Photo/clip capture for traceability and client reports
Integrated into our QA gates for higher yield

Precision Laminator

Produces stable, repeatable multi-layer stacks for micro-devices. Controls temperature, pressure, and nip speed to achieve strong bonds, clean edges, and precise thickness—critical for films, foils, adhesives, and composite builds.

Controlled temperature/pressure/speed for consistent bonds
Registration workflows to align features across layers
Compatible with films, foils, adhesives, and laminates
Edge control and thickness uniformity for high yield
Inline QA options and traceable run parameters
