Welding
We are experts in using laser welding to join metals with precision and low-heat input to create complex components and subassemblies for medical devices. Our deep process knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment allow us to solve complex manufacturing problems and perform laser welding at a micro-scale. In addition to our decades of in-house experience, we also invest significantly in R&D projects to continually advance our capabilities. Our Lightspeed Lab process experts can help you take advantage of our laser welding technology with industry-leading prototype solutions, design feedback, and manufacturing process development.
Laser Welding Applications Include
- Pull ring assemblies for steerable catheters
- Marker bands
- Flexible hypotubes
- 3D components
- Thin-wire delivery system components
- Hermetic seals for implants and instruments
- Micro implants
