Nitinol Laser Cutting

We use state-of-the-art, ultrafast femtosecond laser systems that precisely cut nitinol alloy components, ensuring they meet the intricate, micro-scale requirements necessary for advanced medical implants. This enables faster production, requiring less post-processing.

Our expertise in nitinol laser cutting goes back to our Resonetics roots, where we initially started as a laser company. We will help you quickly build innovative new medical devices and technologies that meet the critical performance requirements of your device. We understand how laser processing affects the nitinol raw material properties and use this knowledge to design and build our laser systems in-house. This allows us to solve the most complex nitinol manufacturing problems.

Nitinol Laser Cutting Applications

Resonetic’s femtosecond nitinol laser cutting uses ultrafast, high-powered laser pulses to rapidly machine nitinol with less post-processing demands than other methods. This process delivers both speed and fine feature accuracy, making it ideal for producing next-generation implantable devices.

Nitinol’s unique features, such as shape memory, superelastic properties, and biocompatibility, make it the preferred metal alloy for devices like stents, valves, and retrieval systems.

Common applications include:

  • Heart valve frames
  • Neurovascular retrieval stents
  • Carotid stents
  • Peripheral stents
  • Biliary stents
  • Delivery system components
