Micromachining of stents

Stents and other microstructured medical devices are often made of nitinol and using a femtosecond laser. The process of designing these reliable must be hard enough. Lasers should enable the design to come to life. The medical industry is heavily regulated so expect them to move slow implementing out affordable lasers.
