# Synova: Pioneering Laser Cutting Solutions
Synova, a Swiss-based company founded in 1996, has established itself as a global leader in the delivery of high-quality laser cutting solutions and services. Headquartered in Lausanne, the company’s origins trace back to the invention of the water jet guided laser (Laser MicroJet) at the Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in the 1990s.
With a focus on innovation and technological excellence, Synova has amassed an impressive portfolio of over 150 patents and has been recognized with 10 national and international awards, including the prestigious William M. Steen Award in 2022. The company’s commitment to research and development is evident, with over $40 million invested in R&D and a team of 30 dedicated R&D engineers.
Synova’s core offering, the LMJ Machines, are laser cutting systems based on the company’s proprietary Laser MicroJet technology. This innovative approach combines the precision of a laser with the stability and control of a water jet, enabling high-quality, burr-free, and stress-free cutting across a wide range of materials and industries.
To complement its cutting-edge technology, Synova provides a suite of value-added services, including the LMJ Lab for application testing and feasibility studies, the LMJ Job Shop for on-demand laser cutting, and the LMJ Integration Package for seamless integration into existing production facilities. The company also offers licensing opportunities for its Laser MicroJet technology and IP portfolio.
Synova’s global footprint extends to 8 LMJ competence centers, allowing the company to serve a diverse range of industries, including aerospace, energy, semiconductor, photovoltaics, diamond, toolmaking, medical, and watchmaking. The company’s impressive client list includes renowned names such as ABB, GE, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and Richemont, among others.
