There is a boom in this field in recent years, specifically for laser texturing using femtosecond lasers. What were 10 years back laboratory lasers are now being put on standard CNC machine gantrys.

Unfortunately, what I see lacking in high end laser CNC machine market is software and no separation between CAM programming and execution that exists for milling machines. There is no equivalent to G-code that can be generated on w/e software and then run on different machine. There are cases where this is impossible as due to the way it's done, it would quickly overload even large RAM memory capacities.
