Plastics are used increasingly in various industrial sectors such as medical device and organic electronics manufacturing. Medical device applications include manufacturing of implantable devices like stents, catheters and wires, which need to be structured and cut using lasers at the highest possible quality with minimum heat damage. As the flat panel display market moves from LCD to organic LED (OLED) display technology which utilize plastic materials, laser structuring and cutting of plastics with high qulity is needed. Femtosecond lasers are capable of machining plastic materials with minimum heat affected zone (HAZ) and very precise control of the material removal. Although the processing quality achieved meets industrial demands, processing speeds need to be improved to satisfy an industrial user. To process parts quickly and cost-effectively a femtosecond laser system with average power of >100 W is required
