Industrial laser ablation

Industrial laser ablation: IREPA LASER technology for transforming, machining and functionalizing materials

The industrial laser ablation technology presented by Jérôme Wursthorn from IREPA LASER, a member of the Carnot MICA, makes it possible to transform materials through machining, cutting and surface treatment. This precise and fast process is used to functionalize materials and create anti-counterfeiting markings.

A versatile laser technology for surface treatment

Thanks to industrial laser ablation, it is possible to:

• Machine complex materials,
• Iridesce surfaces to modify their properties,
• Cut materials such as composites or silicon.

This technology enables high levels of precision while ensuring consistent quality across a wide range of materials.

Applications in luxury, aerospace and industry

Industrial laser ablation is used in:

• Luxury and watchmaking: for anti-counterfeiting engravings,
• Aerospace: for drilling microchannels in composites,
• High-tech industries: for advanced surface treatments.
