Fond du Lac, WI - GF Health Products Inc. has purchased and installed a state-of-the-art bi-dimensional fiber optic laser cutting system at its facility here. The Cyrio system is from Cy Lasers, Schio, VI, Italy.

The ability to design specifically for laser processes yields a dramatic reduction in the cost and time required to fabricate components.”
