Trusted by leading companies, researchers and entrepreneurs.

Excellent work, fast, and reasonably priced. The shop I used previously left rough edges, visible burning, and significant metal flashing around the edges. Potomac Photonics is in a completely different league and since I’ve started using them, the results have been much better. I’ve had them do everything from precise optical cut-offs to basic mechanical shims in a range of materials. The edges are consistently clean, even under magnification. They have turned orders around much more quickly than I am used to, and most importantly, communication is good. They have taken the time to ask questions to understand my requirements so we can avoid any pitfalls I might miss. I am not an expert in laser cutting so this is very helpful. I would highly recommend them for precision work and quality. Even if you don’t need precision, their prices are still reasonable.

Thank you so much for helping us with our hummingbird tools. I can’t tell you how much people appreciate the precision of the Tarsus Gauge you all made for us. I just sent some gauges down to Costa Rica and Argentina for researchers there and they are thrilled to be better able to precisely measure and fit bands to their tropical species.

The resolution of this 3D printer was much higher than what we had in our onsite lab. Working with tolerances in the 1 – 2 thousandths range gave us the parameters we needed to fulfill the design requirement. . . 3D printing can’t always do everything we need, but it is a great tool and has solved some tough problems in our project.
