Femtosecond lasers are ultra-fast pulsed lasers, which are used to remove material. The material is not heated, but immediately turns into a plasma. In addition, the technology is extremely suited for the very precise application of functionalities via textures.
Over the past ten years, laser technology has progressed very rapidly. New developments have made lasers cheaper, more compact, more energy efficient, enabling the emergence of new production technologies such as additive manufacturing, laser ablation, laser welding and laser curing. One of these recent developments is that, due to the drop in price, femtosecond pulsed lasers (10-15 (s) could be commercialised and are now within the reach of manufacturing companies and research institutes.
