Dicing of silicon wafers
Thanks to the heat-free ablation process and high quality edges using ultrafast lasers, the semiconductor industry saves millions on placing chip packages only a couple microns closer to each other. If you have a smartphone in your pocket or a credit card in your wallet, some parts of those devices have certainly seen ultrashort pulses in their manufacturing process.
This is a typical example of an industry where the price of the laser doesn't really matter. Amplitude Systems and Light Conversion are leader in the industry with their high end products.
