The Applications Lab
SPI's Applications Lab is run by experts with backgrounds in materials engineering and laser application knowledge.
SPI's laboratory in California is equipped with pulsed and CW fiber lasers and marking station , galvo based welding, X-Y cutting/scribing table, glove box welding and a nearby first class metrology facility.
The facility is used to create proof of principle samples and application notes for potential users of SPI’s Lasers. This work is carried out free of charge. Once samples have been sent to the industrial user a decision is typically taken to take advantage of SPI’s “Try Before You Buy” program whereby a suitable laser is sent to the user for a 30 day trial*.
Should more detailed process development work be required then SPI can suggest an introduction to the SPI Lasers Academic Partners. These are Universities and Laser Institutes who have purchased SPI Fiber Lasers and are willing to undertake paid process development activity on behalf of industry.
