Where is the development trend of precision laser processing technology and the next round of precision laser processing boom?
Not long ago, Apple officially announced the release of the new generation iPhone 14, continuing the habit of one update a year. Many users lamented that "it turns out that iPhone 14 has been released" and has won over one million units in the Chinese market in a short period of time. Pre-order shows that iPhone is still popular among young people.
Smartphones set off the first round of demand for precision laser processing
Thinking back more than ten years ago, when smartphones were first launched, industrial laser processing technology was still at a low level. Fiber lasers and ultrafast lasers were both new things. They were even blank in China, and precision laser processing was out of the question. Since 2011, low-end precision laser marking has gradually begun to be used in China. At that time, the main discussion was about low-power solid pulsed green light and ultraviolet lasers. At this time, ultrafast laser technology began to mature and be commercialized abroad. Ultra-fast Precision laser processing is starting to be talked about.
The mass application of precision laser processing is largely driven by smartphones. Camera slides, fingerprint modules, HOME buttons, camera blind holes, special-shaped cutting of mobile phone panels, etc. are all achieved thanks to breakthroughs in ultra-fast laser precision cutting technology. It can be said that the last round of precision laser processing boom was driven by consumer electronics, especially smartphones and display panels.
