Scitech Precision Limited is a spin-off company born out of the CLF’s Target Fabrication group, in partnership with BID, which works to commercially produce laser microtargets for use in external laser facilities and provides a microfabrication service across many sectors, including a laser micromachining service.
Originally based in R12 they relocated to custom build facility in R1 during the pandemic which was a challenging time to move and commission a set of complex laser systems. However, working closely with BID and the CLF this was achieved with limited downtime.
The new laboratories allow Scitech to expand the offering in its precision bespoke laser machining service, supporting business across the Harwell Campus and to the wider scientific community. As well as providing facilities for laser micromachining of targets there is also a new development lab that is exploiting new disruptive technologies for high repetition rate target fabrication.
