Adaptive laser beam shaping with a deformable mirror enables efficient energy and material usage in laser welding and ...

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 ...

As manufacturers push the limits of power and digital integration, a distinct group of global leaders—the Top 10 Leading Laser Cutting Machine Manufacturers—has emerged to set the benchmarks for the ...

High value parts demand extra care and stability for thin-film removal and cleaning of sensitive components. Bold Laser Automation, Inc. has introduced the LPCl1820UV Laser Precision Cleaning System, ...

To get the most out of a laser, whether for communications or measurements, it must often be shaped or sliced into small sections. One reliable and inexpensive method of doing this is to use a ...

The Future of Automotive Manufacturing The shift toward electric vehicles has added a new dimension of complexity to automotive manufacturing. Unlike conventional vehicles, EVs carry the substantial ...

There are many applications for particle accelerators, even outside research facilities, but for the longest time they have been large, cumbersome machines, not to mention very expensive to operate.

There was a time when the only 3D-printed items that most of us ever saw were created at places like universities or industrial design houses – now, thanks to the plethora of consumer 3D printers out ...

Mileseey Tools has introduced the S50 Green-Beam Laser Distance Meter, a new device designed for construction and design professionals who need long-range precision. The S50 provides measurements up ...

The world’s most powerful X-ray laser beam has been used to create a microscopic “black hole.” The machine uses extremely bright, fast flashes of light to take atomic-level snapshots of some of nature ...

A lot of the DIY laser engravers and cutters we cover here on Hackaday are made with laser diodes salvaged from Blu-ray drives and projectors, which are visible lasers in the 400 – 450nm range ...
