Microlavorazione laser di precisione per aiutare a lanciare un CubeSat del Polytechnique Montréal nello spazio
At Potomac we’re used to seeing some of the most interesting – and challenging – miniaturization projects on the planet. Recently we helped a Canadian university group miniaturizing for a space application. Polytechnique Montréal is competing in the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge (CSDC) and we were able to help laser micromachine micro holes for their…

Modellazione laser IR di ITO per aiutare la ricerca di fisica di base al MIT e ad Harvard
Patterning Transparent Conductive Oxide [TCO] layers on substrates such as glass or plastic is a familiar laser micromachining application at Potomac. We’ve developed innovative ways to pattern the TCO layer without damaging the underlying substrate. But we usually see TCO’s such as Indium Tin Oxide [ITO] used in Displays, Touch Panels, RFID tags, Strain Gauges,…

Quando scegliere la microlavorazione laser Parte 4: Tolleranza e precisione
Laser micromachining at very small spatial scales demands special attention to precision. Anyone who has ever tried to assemble DIY furniture where holes were slightly off from part to part knows the frustration part variation can cause even for simple home projects. As you can imagine, precision takes on new meaning when drilling holes that…
