Process Date: June 2001

The flashing was removed from this plastic medical device with a Synrad 25-watt laser.
This part, made of MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene), was rotated at 300 rpms, while the flashing was removed with 18 watts of laser power and 5psi air assist. The process results in a desirable smooth, rounded edge, with no loose plastic debris. HDPE, LDPE, and PTFE can also be cut with the same results. The metal rod was used to form the inside diameter of the part during production.
