How Our Technicians Complete Your Repair
1. Vector Laser Template Alignment
The iPhone is placed into our fiber laser machine. We load the exact CAD vector outline for your model, firing low-energy alignment beams to mask off the MagSafe coil and camera rings.
2. Automated Epoxy Vaporization
The 20W pulsed laser scans across the rear panel, instantly vaporizing the industrial epoxy bonding the glass to the chassis in under 8 minutes without heating the internal battery.
3. Debris Extraction & Surface Smoothing
Under extraction fume hoods, our technicians scrape away the loosened shattered glass splinters and clean the metal chassis plate back to bare aluminum/titanium.
4. Structural Adhesive & Clamped Seating
We apply perimeter structural polyurethane adhesive, install the precision color-matched glass panel, and cure it under hydraulic pressure clamps for 45 minutes to achieve a flawless flush seam.
