Laser Micro Drilling Services — Small Holes, High Aspect Ratios
Our laser micro drilling services are ideal for creating extremely small, high aspect ratio holes with consistent accuracy. We support complex designs and a wide range of materials, making it easier to achieve reliable results for demanding applications in electronics, medical devices, and precision engineering.
Why Traditional Drilling Fails at Micro Scale
As devices shrink and tolerances tighten, conventional machining hits physical limits. Here's where mechanical drilling falls short—and how laser ablation bridges the gap.
Mechanical Limitations
- ▸Drill bits break below 50µm diameter
- â–¸Tool wear causes dimensional drift
- â–¸Mechanical stress deforms thin materials
- â–¸Cannot drill angled holes efficiently
- â–¸Burr formation requires secondary finishing
Laser Ablation Solution
- â–¸No physical contact = no tool wear
- â–¸Consistent hole quality from first to last
- â–¸Zero mechanical force on workpiece
- â–¸5-axis capability for any angle
- â–¸Clean edges with minimal post-processing
Precision Micro Hole Manufacturing
We handle micro-drilling with a range of advanced laser setups. Our multi-axis scanning and trepanning equipment lets us control hole shape, taper angles, and surface quality down to the specifics.
Ultra-Small Diameters
Drill holes as small as 20 microns in diameter with exceptional precision. Our advanced focusing systems and ultrafast lasers enable creation of micro-features impossible with mechanical drilling methods.
Taper Control
Achieve zero-taper or controlled-taper holes using multi-axis scan heads and trepanning technology. Precise beam steering maintains perpendicular incidence for straight sidewalls throughout the hole depth.
Superior Surface Quality
Ultrafast laser pulses minimize heat-affected zones and recast layers, producing clean hole entrances, smooth sidewalls, and minimal debris for optimal flow characteristics and performance.
Advanced Micro Drilling Methods
We employ multiple laser drilling technologies optimized for different hole sizes, aspect ratios, and material requirements, ensuring optimal results for every application.
Trepanning Drilling
High Aspect Ratio HolesTrepanning uses a rotating optical system to move the laser beam in a circular pattern, cutting the hole perimeter while maintaining perpendicular beam incidence. This technique excels at creating small-diameter holes (30-500µm) with high aspect ratios up to 10:1 and exceptional sidewall quality.
Multi-Axis Scanning
Complex GeometriesMulti-axis scan heads enable drilling on curved surfaces and creation of angled holes. The system maintains optimal beam focus and incidence angle throughout the drilling process, enabling precise holes on cylindrical tubing, spherical surfaces, and complex 3D components.
Fiber Laser Percussion
Ultra-PrecisionPercussion drilling uses high-peak-power nanosecond pulses from an IPG fiber laser source, delivering controlled energy at a fixed point to ablate material efficiently. Ideal for micro-holes 50–500 μm in metals and select alloys where industrial precision and throughput are prioritized over sub-micron thermal control.
Helical Drilling
Large Diameter Deep HolesHelical drilling combines rotation and translation of the laser beam in a spiral pattern, efficiently removing material from large-diameter deep holes. This method provides excellent control over hole geometry and is ideal for applications requiring substantial flow capacity.
