About Clear Photon

We're bringing femtosecond laser precision from industrial-scale facilities to desktop workstations, democratizing access to ultra-short pulse micromachining.

Our Vision

Every prototyping lab should have more than just a 3D printer.

We envision a world where every R&D department has world-class subtractive micromachining capability right on their benchtop—precision that works with any material and delivers innovation-grade results. No more sending samples out. No more risking your IP. No more waiting weeks.

Every lab works for itself. Develops its own processes. Controls its own innovation. No need to visit application labs, travel across borders, ship sensitive samples, or pay customs duties.

Specialized micromachining systems cost millions. Clear Photon is the first step that makes this capability accessible to every R&D team at a price point comparable to industrial CNC equipment, while delivering micron-level precision.

Our Mission

Clear Photon was founded with a singular vision: to make femtosecond laser technology accessible to laboratories, workshops, and manufacturing facilities that previously couldn't justify the space, cost, and complexity of traditional industrial laser systems.

By engineering compact, safety-enclosed desktop workstations, we enable researchers, medical device manufacturers, and precision fabricators to harness the power of cold ablation without requiring dedicated laser safety rooms or extensive operator training.

We believe that every innovation in materials processing should be accessible to those who need it most—from university research labs to Swiss watch manufactories.

Our Values

The principles that guide everything we do

Precision

We obsess over sub-micrometer accuracy and repeatability in every aspect of our systems.

Accessibility

Advanced technology should be compact, safe, and intuitive enough for any skilled technician.

Innovation

We continuously push the boundaries of what's possible with ultrafast laser technology.

Quality

Every workstation is built to the highest standards with enterprise-grade components.

The Desktop Advantage

Why compact, enclosed workstations represent the future of femtosecond laser micromachining

Class 1

Laser Safety

Fully enclosed design means no laser safety room, no safety goggles, and minimal training requirements.

< 0.5 m²

Footprint

Fits on a standard laboratory bench. No dedicated room or optical table required.

Hours

Setup Time

Turnkey systems operational within hours. BYOL integration typically 2-3 days with online support and detailed guides.
