Abstract
Laser-based tools can provide fabrication alternatives that are particularly valuable at small spatial scales. In many applications they are essential to success of the product. For example, lasers are now used in the fabrication of stents, catheters, fluid flow control components, lenses and haptics, miniature flex circuits, and wire assemblies
