Method of manufacturing a medical device from a workpiece using a pulsed beam of radiation or particles having an adjustable pulse frequency

摘要

A method of manufacturing a medical device from a workpiece is provided. The method begins by generating a pulsed beam of radiation from a radiation source. The pulsed radiation beam is characterized by a prescribed pulse frequency. The pulsed radiation beam is directed onto the workpiece and the workpiece is moved relative to the radiation source so that a prescribed pattern is cut in the workpiece by the pulsed radiation beam. The prescribed pulse frequency is adjusted based on a change in a parameter pertaining to the relative motion of the workpiece.
