Laser texturing is a technique for changing the texture and roughness of a material’s surface. By laser ablation, the laser beam produces micropatterns on the surface, eliminating layers with micrometre precision and perfect reproducibility. It is possible to apply laser surface texturing to enhance qualities including adhesion, wettability, electrical and thermal conductivity, and friction.
Like any laser marking technique, laser texturing is similar. Its marking depth however, is distinct. In laser texturing, a focussed beam of light from the machine’s oscillator leaves little bits on the material. Before the laser beam reaches the part surface, it travels through a scanning mirror and is focussed by a focusing lens.
The interaction of the laser beam with the part surface causes heat transfer, which leaves minute patterns like grooves, curves, and dimples. The generated designs are unchangeable and free of burrs, giving the part surface a unique appearance.
The Global Laser Texturing machine market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Die maker Nisshin Seiki has launched a new laser texturing business with the introduction of a femto lasers microfabrication machine.
Femto lasers use the ablation phenomena to process materials with extremely low heat by irradiating them with ultra-brief laser pulses spaced at femtosecond intervals. This makes it possible to create objects at the micron scale, which is not feasible with conventional metal processing.
The corporation established the Laser Texturing Division as an internal venture distinct from the die and mould industry in an effort to grow its business. The company introduces tools like a femto laser microfabrication machine, a non-contact 3D measurement machine, and a constant-temperature environment using a business restructuring subsidy.
The business is investigating user demand while using this equipment to process and micro-cut titanium, cemented carbide, and stainless steel materials.
Only laser processing allows different colours and textures to be portrayed on metal surfaces. There are reportedly just a few femto laser microfabrication machines in Japan, and the company has already begun to get business enquiries from industries including corporate R&D and the arts.
