Laser Machining

FASTEST AND MOST ACCURATE LASERS IN THE WORLD.

Proprietary laser machining technologies are custom built by Norman Noble.

Norman Noble nitinol stents manufacturing

The largest laser machining contract manufacturer of medical implants and devices

Laser machined nitinol product innovations can be costly and time intensive to manufacture. As nitinol implant and medical device requirements continue to get more complex, manufacturability and process validation of these highly precise components become even more important.

PROPRIETARY LASER TECHNOLOGY

  • At Norman Noble, we integrate and develop our own proprietary laser machining technologies, which are often 3X faster than conventional off-the-shelf systems and can maintain accuracies of +/- .0001” through an entire production run.
  • Our laser machining technologies provide highly efficient laser manufacturing processes to help customers bring the newest nitinol medical device and implant innovations to market.

NOBLE STEALTH

  • Noble STEALTH (HAZ-Free Laser Machining Technology), a Norman Noble-exclusive, represents the most advanced athermal laser implant machining technology available for production of medical implants. 
  • STEALTH athermal lasers create highly precise features in every material, including nitinol, bioabsorbable polymers, and other exotic alloys, without producing any heat affected zone (HAZ).
