In International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, a new laser machining method that dynamically adapts its beam shape is proposed to fabricate microgrooves with ...

Figure 1: Dependence of the ablated depth by GHz burst LIPAA process on the intra-pulse number in GHz burst pulse for the various intra-pulse fluence (0.18, 0.22, 0.27, 0.36, 0.44 and 0.53 J/cm2). GHz ...

The laser is based on a phenomenon discovered during the past century, and laser technology became real and concrete at the beginning of the 1960s. In less than 50 years, it has become the basis for ...

PRIMES has released the ScanFieldMonitor 2D (SFM 2D), developed to meet the requirements of laser-scanner applications in ...

Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) have devised a striking new addition to contact stamping technologies in the recently-completed ERDF research project “ScanCut”. In ...

Japan’s Shimadzu Corp has developed a blue direct diode laser (DDL), providing what is claimed to be industry-leading brightness levels. The 10W-type laser was exhibited at InterOpto 2013 at Pacifico ...

Laser powder bed fusion (LBPF), a 3D printing technique commonly used to make metal parts, creates large thermal gradients between areas hit by the laser and areas not being struck. This creates pools ...
