Research and development of the technology of laser cutting of medical implants (stents).
There was developed a highly efficient technology of medical stents' manufacturing by means of focused laser beam.
The developed technology lets us to cut stents from tube workpieces (material – stainless steel, nitinol etc.) with any complexity of the stent's pattern. In order to implement the developed technology a trial version of industrial laser system that consists of Q-switched YAG laser, beam delivery and focusing system, assyst gas delivery system, monitor and control system and workpiece movement and protection system was developed.
