Handheld Laser Welders are extremely adaptable machines used to conjoin pieces of metal. In this blog post, we will discuss the technology, purpose, and benefits of these advanced machines.  Laser Welding ...

Hybrid steel-and-aluminum structures are essential for creating lightweight components with high rigidity. Due to its higher welding-brazing speed, smaller heating area, and high automation, the laser ...

Flaw detection and rapid fatigue fracture Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained popularity in a number of high-value industries due to their capacity to produce small batches of geometrically ...

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 ...
