Surface texturing is a process in which the characteristics of materials are altered by modifying its texture and roughness.

Typically, the laser is used to create ripples, grooves, or microstructures on the materials surface to alter wettability, friction, adherence, electrical and thermal conductivity, and optical properties. For example, you can increase surface adherence before applying common coatings like adhesives, paint or ceramic. Also, you can increase the hydrophobicity of a surface to make it superhydrophobic and provide it with self-cleaning properties, like lotus leaf and butterfly wings.

Capabilities and Advantages:

• All the materials can be processed, from metals and ceramics to polymers and glasses.
• Minimum Feature: 5µm
• Material Thickness: 0-2mm
• No alteration of the physical-chemical properties of materials
• Flexible, contactless and tool free
