WHY PHOTO MACHINING?

Brittle materials such as Glass, Ceramics, Sapphire, etc. are notoriously difficult to machine using conventional equipment and have a high propensity to chip or crack. Tool wear can be excessive causing dimensional changes, thermal stresses and shape changes when using CNC, ultrasonic and laser machining resulting in loss of dimensional control and high costs. Alternatively, Photo Machining combines the precision of photo-lithography with automated powder blasting to impart a controlled, dry, very low stress, and fast precision removal of the desired material.
