Precision Cutting with Ultrafast Lasers
Clark-MXR specializes in high-precision cutting across a diverse range of materials—from crystals to metals—using our advanced ultrafast laser machining systems. We routinely process rare, precious, and refractory metals, achieving kerf widths as narrow as 1 micron, with even finer cuts possible depending on material properties and design requirements.
Our expertise extends to specialized applications, such as Tungsten Cathode Filament processing for XFR systems, where precision and material integrity are paramount.
With cutting-edge laser technology and decades of experience, Clark-MXR delivers exceptional accuracy for demanding industries.
Precision Micromilling & Nano-Scale Patterning
Beyond hole drilling, materials can be precisely shaped through high-accuracy milling, enabling virtually any geometry or pattern. With micron-scale cut widths—and even sub-micron kerfs for ultra-thin materials—complex components can be reliably manufactured with exceptional precision.
- Blind features achieve depth resolution within a few percent of the target depth
- Nanometer-scale precision ensures repeatability for production parts
- Nano-scale patterning as a subtractive process reveals underlying material structures
This approach allows detailed analysis using microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, with repeated processing enabling 3D reconstruction via serial sectioning or 3D tomography.
Advanced Surface Modification for Enhanced Performance
The surfaces of many materials can be precisely engineered to alter optical, chemical, and physical properties, optimizing performance for a wide range of applications. Common modifications include:
- Broad-spectrum, low-reflecting finishes for improved optical efficiency
- Diffractive surfaces that manipulate light with precision
- Chemically reactive sites tailored for specialized interactions
- Surfaces with enhanced adhesion for stronger material bonding
- Nano-scale patterning to achieve unique functional effects
Through cutting-edge techniques, these modifications unlock new possibilities in optics, coatings, and advanced material sciences.
