Company profile
Synova S.A., based in Switzerland, develops and manufactures advanced laser machining systems tailored to the needs of high-performance materials such as technical ceramics. At the heart of Synova’s systems is its patented Laser MicroJet® technology, which couples a laser beam with a “hair-thin” water jet that guides the beam by total internal reflection. Integrated in robust industrial CNC platforms with 3- and 5-axis configurations, these systems enable fast, precise machining of even ultra-hard and brittle ceramic components. This is achieved without thermal damage, debris or taper, which is crucial for high-end ceramic applications.
The Synova group employs over 100 people worldwide, including 30 engineers, who mainly focus on researching new material cutting solutions, further applications and laser cutting equipment. Aside from research, both the final assembly and testing of up to 100 machines a year are performed in Synova’s modern, 3000 square meter facility in Duillier. Synova has established subsidiaries in the USA, Japan, India, Korea, Germany, China, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates for optimized customer support.

Synova SA manufactures advanced laser machining systems that incorporate its proprietary water jet guided laser technology (Laser MicroJet®). This method of cutting combines a laser with a “hair-thin” water jet that precisely guides the laser beam by means of total internal reflection. As a “cold, clean and controlled laser”, it resolves the significant problems associated with dry lasers such as thermal damage, contamination, deformation, debris deposition, oxidation, micro-cracks and taper.
