IREPA LASER at Micronora: laser process expertise for precision industries

From 29 September to 2 October 2026, IREPA LASER will be at Micronora, the leading international trade fair for microtechnology and precision technologies.

On this occasion, our technology transfer centre will showcase its expertise in laser machining and its ability to support manufacturers from process development through to industrialisation.

Turning industrial challenges into controlled laser processes

Laser technologies today open up new possibilities for industries seeking greater precision, flexibility and performance. Micro-cutting, micro-drilling, laser surface texturing, micro-welding and the processing of complex materials: applications are multiplying in sectors where quality and repeatability requirements are particularly high.

But integrating a laser technology into an industrial environment is not simply a matter of choosing equipment and defining a few parameters.

The success of a project depends above all on mastering the process: understanding the interactions between the laser beam, the material, thermal phenomena, manufacturing constraints and industrial objectives.

This is precisely the role of IREPA LASER.

Since 1982, IREPA LASER has been supporting manufacturers in the design, qualification and industrialisation of laser processes tailored to their needs.

Process before equipment

IREPA LASER stands out for its approach, which is independent of machine manufacturers.

Our mission is not to sell laser equipment, but to design the process that will enable the manufacturer to achieve its performance objectives.

This technological independence makes it possible to identify the most relevant solution according to the customer's specifications, the materials used, the production constraints and the quality requirements.

Each project is approached holistically, including:

• Analysis of the industrial need;
• Feasibility study;
• Experimental development;
• Process simulation;
• Qualification;
• Industrialisation;
• Transfer to the production teams.

The objective: to turn a technical problem into a reliable, reproducible and industrially viable process.

Laser machining: expertise at the heart of Micronora

At Micronora, IREPA LASER will particularly highlight its expertise in laser machining, a strategic technology for high-precision industries.

Laser machining makes it possible to carry out complex operations on a wide range of materials, without mechanical contact and with excellent control of heat-affected zones.

The solutions developed by IREPA LASER include in particular:

• Laser micro-cutting of thin metals, ceramics and composites, with high dimensional accuracy and controlled edges;
• Laser micro-drilling, grooving and engraving to produce complex geometries;
• Laser surface texturing to create functional patterns, prepare surfaces before joining or improve certain properties;
• Laser micro-welding for fine assemblies requiring a small heat-affected zone;
• Laser recycling, stripping and cleaning to separate components and remove oxides, coatings or contaminants without damaging the substrates;
• Surface smoothing for rework or surface finish improvement;
• Creation of calibrated defects for non-destructive testing and qualification purposes.

These applications meet the needs of particularly demanding industries such as aeronautics, space, defence, watchmaking, jewellery, fine jewellery and luxury goods.

Securing the transition from development to production

One of the main challenges for manufacturers is not only to demonstrate that a process works, but to guarantee that it will work sustainably in production.

IREPA LASER helps its customers to:

• Reduce trial-and-error phases;
• Accelerate process development;
• Improve manufacturing performance;
• Optimise industrial yield;
• Guarantee repeatability of results;
• Secure the transfer to production lines.

Our approach aims to develop qualified, documented and transferable processes capable of meeting the real constraints of industry.

A technology partner throughout the project

Beyond laser process development, IREPA LASER supports manufacturers throughout the entire life cycle of their projects thanks to its range of expertise:

• Laser process development and industrialisation;
• Numerical simulation;
• Training in laser technologies and laser safety.

This continuity between innovation, industrialisation and upskilling of teams is a real advantage for manufacturers wishing to integrate laser technologies into their production for the long term.
