The femtosecond laser direct writing technique is widely used in the micro-fabrication field, and it has been achieved important progresses in the field of bioinspired materials with special wettability. The recent application progresses at home and abroad of the femtosecond laser micromachining technique in the bioinspired superhydrophobic field are summarized, and the analysis from the three aspects of the basic superhydrophobic surface materials, the superhydrophobicity-related functional wettability and the applications of the superhydrophobic materials is completed. The future challenges and progresses in this field are prospected.
