Athermal lasers enable the machining of next generation Vascular Implants and Orthopedic Implants that otherwise would be impossible to produce.
NOBLE STEALTH (HAZ-Free Laser Machining Technology), a Norman Noble-exclusive, represents the most advanced athermal laser technology available for production of nitinol implants and bioabsorbable implants. Our STEALTH athermal laser machines create highly precise features in every material, including nitinol, bioabsorbable polymers, shape memory metals and other exotic alloys, without producing any heat affected zone (HAZ). This can reduce—and in some cases eliminate—costly deburring and post-processing steps, increasing both product quality and yield.
We provide product design teams with a capability never before achieved on a production-ready platform. The narrow kerf capability combined with accelerated processing speed, makes STEALTH laser machining technology the solution for newest vascular implant designs with smallest geometry and highest fatigue requirements.
Facts at a Glance:
- No Heat Affected Zone (HAZ)
- Fastest HAZ-Free laser machining process
- .00045” kerf width for nitinol implants
- .00025” kerf width for bioresorbable implants
- Validated laser manufacturing process
