Specialist ceramic laser processing

We manufacture precision ceramic components using laser processing methods suited to hard, brittle and difficult-to-machine materials.

Our work commonly includes laser-cut alumina substrates, drilled holes and vias, profiled ceramic parts, scribed panels and small precision engineering components.

Laser processing is well suited to prototypes, small batches and production quantities because there are no dedicated tooling charges.

what we do

Laser cutting and profiling

Precision cutting of alumina and other technical ceramics to create profiles, slots, apertures and complex component shapes.

Laser drilling

Small holes and vias in ceramic substrates and precision engineering parts, with feature sizes dependent on material grade and thickness.

Laser scribing

Controlled scribe lines in ceramic panels, typically used where substrates need to be snapped cleanly into individual parts.

Technical ceramic components

Laser-cut ceramic parts for electrical insulation, wear resistance, thermal management and specialist engineering applications.

why choose applied laser solutions?

Specialist experience

Applied Laser Solutions has over 40 years’ industry experience in laser processing technical ceramics and specialist materials.

ISO 9001:2015 approved

Our quality management system supports repeatable manufacturing, controlled processes and customer confidence.

No tooling charges

Laser processing removes the need for dedicated tooling, making prototypes, small batches and design iterations more practical.

Inspection capability

We inspect parts using methods including CMM measurement, microscopy, high-intensity light and dye penetrant inspection where required.

UK-based, worldwide supply

We are based in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, and supply customers across the UK and internationally.
