Organisation
Digitalized data from our customers is translated in a physical tool for the replication processes. Different methods of direct laser writing technologies are used to structure photo sensitive resists on substrates in a sub-micron and nanoscale manner. To structure a surface in this way is also known as a lithographic process.
Electroforming
Through a galvanic process, Nickel is deposited on the structured surface of the structured photo resist. This produces a perfect copy that is solid enough to be used as a stamp in the replication process.
Injection moulding
We are experts in electric and hydraulic injection and injection compression moulding of parts requiring extreme precision and optical properties utilizing pressure ranging from 25 to 450 tons. Our experience includes single and multi-cavity with maximum shot size ranging from 10 cm3 to 500 cm3. The materials used include polycarbonate and polypropylene.
Sputtering
Through <10 nanometer sputter layer thickness utilizing 0.9 kW to 5 kW power, we are able to achieve very precise reflectivity and other optical properties on polycarbonate. We have experience with several custom alloy compositions as well as aluminium, silver, silicon and gold.
Spin coating/laquer coating
We are able to achieve very precise thickness control of UV curable lacquers as thin as 2 micrometres and as thick as 100 micrometres.
Bonding
Precision alignment and the accurate control of the bonding agent, proximity and pressure is needed to assemble parts into a final working product.
Printing
Our printing capabilities include screen and offset printing using UV curable inks with thickness between 1 to 7 micron and 150 lines per inch resolution.
QA inspection
In manufacturing, we utilize both camera and laser based devices both in fully integrated and stand-alone configurations for assessment of layer thickness, flatness, reflectivity, point and line defects and much more, all at sub-micron levels.
Mastering
In the Mastering Department, we fabricate the tools that are used for mass replication of discs and other elements. Precise sub-micrometre structuring of the surfaces with the help of direct laser writing lithographic and electroforming processes are key. It is our enthusiasm for technology and quality that drives us to deliver services to our customers that go beyond what is expected.
