Customer stories
"We found WOP while looking for high precision laser machining of tungsten wires. We needed to fabricate structures with a diameter below 20 µm for the biomedical R&D project. WOP met our challenging requirements and worked with us to meet all our specifications.
I was particularly impressed by the fast and efficient communications and technical expertise of WOP. They quickly fabricated samples and the result was beyond our expectations – they have provided smoothly finished needles, reaching even up to 5 µm diameters. It left no doubt to move forward with the order!"

“After 10 years of experience, working with your femtosecond system, my honest opinion is more than positive and we are satisfied with the product. Compared to other systems, ours “full optional facility” allows us to explore valuable processing on many different materials. This is an added value for the research in IIT!”

"While looking for an anti-reflection wafer micromachining, we quoted WOP to perform this crystal quartz ablation with thousands of blind holes. After a thorough inspection, we were pleased with the quality of WOP’s wafers micromachining job. Also, their fast communication and patience. Would definitely quote them for future tasks."

“In search of new ways in embryology, we have designed a GeneSearch Embryo Cradle - a new embryo manipulation tool allowing embryo penetration and biopsy at all stages right up to the time for implantation in the uterus.
One of the main components – glass biopsy probes - was drilled by WOP. Our cooperation lasted for 7 years, and WOP did great work drilling these biopsy probes during the project development. Probe diameters can vary from 12µm to more than 20µm, and the biopsy ports vary in diameter from 5µm to more than 10µm. The biopsy port is a clean, sharp-edged, laser-drilled hole through the near sidewall of the probe, located near its’ tip. ”
