Introduction to laser powder bed fusion In this article, we discuss a novel work introduced by the researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the USA. ...

Material surfaces are not as smooth as they seem. They have microscopic irregularities that can only be seen when magnified. These irregularities are called microstructures. When properly engineered, these ...

Wire stripping said simply, is the removal of insulation covering electrically conducting wires. But what is the most efficient and cost-effective way to go about doing it? Laser Wire Strippers are a ...

Introduction to laser-aided additive manufacturing We usually use a powerful laser beam in laser-aided additive manufacturing (LAAM), also known as Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) or Directed Energy ...

Introduction Using the technique of keyhole laser welding, we can use very high beam intensities to process the material (please see this reference for the details of keyhole laser welding technique). Due ...

Laser drilling has found many applications in precision machining, microelectronics, chip fabrication, tablet drilling, and dentistry. The high aspect ratio of this process and its non-contact nature ...

Introduction We frequently use disk laser welding in the manufacturing sector (e.g., see Figure 1). The laser beam interacts with the material to carry the welding energy, with the result that some of the ...

Do you have a new prototype and want to test it within hours? Welcome to the world of 3D printing. By layering the 3D object from the ground up by using thermoplastics or metals, people around the world ...

If you have ever thought about the microchips in your phone or wondered why the recent chip shortage is so important, keep reading! The answer starts with lithography, or more specifically ...

In this blog post we will provide a brief introductory guide to laser welding. If you ever wondered what welding is, how lasers fuse materials, what industries use laser welding and more, this introductory ...
