High-throughput laser micro-machining demands precise control of the laser beam position to achieve optimal efficiency, but existing methods can be both time-consuming and cost-prohibitive. In this ...

When it comes to machining, the material that springs to mind is likely to be aluminum, steel, or plastic. We don’t necessarily think of glass as a material suitable for machining, at least not in the ...

Laser beams contain concentrated energy that can cause severe burns, permanent eye damage, and substantial equipment deterioration. Laser-cutting machines offer productivity and precision, while ...

Laser-assisted machining (LAM) hard, brittle materials, such as semiconductors and ceramics, utilizes a laser to heat an area to soften it before it is machined. The rest of the work piece is not ...

Laser machining, as one of the most significant micro/nano-manufacturing technologies, shows the capability of achieving ultimate accuracy, feature size and surface integrity at atomic scale. This has ...

So a local "maker space" has two introductory workshops. One for laser cutting/engraving, the other on 3D printing. Ideally I'd visit both, since I'm clueless in both techniques and I haven't designed ...

HEIDENHAIN is a world-leading provider of encoders, machine controls, touch probes, digital readouts and metrology solutions—empowering engineer...READ MORE Sunlight-Tech Inc. specializes in using ...

The thickness of the bipolar plate is decreasing as fuel cells used in vessels and aircraft become lighter and more efficient. In this context, a worldwide R&D project has created a laser machining ...

Lasertools was founded in 1998 to offer manufacturers expertise in the use of lasers to the Energy and Nuclear Research Institute (IPEN) in Brazil. "No one then knew about laser cutting, and it was a ...
