Micromachining software for simple 2D or 2.5D laser micromachining tasks. It supports beam scanning or up to 2 axes for sample positioning. SCA student is cost effective and very convenient tool for laser marking, laser dicing, laser cutting using either galvo-scanner based or linear positioning stage based laser micromachining setups.
SCA is featured in 2011 11 Laser Focus World magazine.
