Innovations in diffusion bonding and laser welding for microfluidics from IPFL
For over 50 years, IPFL has produced plastic parts for a range of industries, using 3D printing and CNC technologies to produce parts for medical, defence, product development, motorsport and scientific components.
This year at Southern Manufacturing 2022, the company is showing innovations in diffusion bonding and laser welding for microfluidics. The processes fuse together layers of precisely machined panels at a molecular level without chemicals or adhesives, resulting in highly accurate and complex components. Investment in the process provides microfluidic plates and medical manifolds, which are used for scientific analysis and chemical mixing. Such parts require complex internal track features which cannot be achieved using conventional methods.
Alongside machining and fabrication services, it will exhibit its versatile range of additive manufacturing technologies, using high resolution clear materials to tough polyamide production.
Services include laser welding and diffusion bonding for microfluidics or pneumatic manifolds, high speed milling and routing, laser cutting and fabrication as well as an extensive range of polyjet, SLA HP MJF and FDM 3D print technologies.
