Summary:Laser microfabrication is a key area currently being developed under SBIR and STTR contracts. Laser microfabrication uses industrial lasers to micromachine and micro-weld small components. In addition to the standard applications of this technology, there have been unique applications developed under SBIR and STTR programs including laser micromachining of carbon nanocomposites-thermoplastics such as polycarbonates, polypropylenes, and polyetheretherketones that are impregnated with carbon nanofibers.
