Knowledge is power at the Laser Institute of America (LIA) in Orlando, Florida, where personnel from various industries come to learn how to safely apply laser technology to their respective ...

Fiber lasers aren’t nearly as common as their diode and CO2 cousins, but if you’re lucky enough to have one in your garage or local makerspace, this technique for depositing thin films of metals in ...

Day lead-time for standard materials. By investing in the latest laser technology we've increased our laser cutting ...

Scrap Labs has introduced the Scrap 1, a compact laser powder bed fusion 3D printer aimed at making industrial-grade metal printing accessible to small manufacturers, labs, and schools. The ...

Structural applications of steel have long made use of elongated beams with carefully designed profiles, whose geometry gives them specific mechanical properties. Nowadays, the variety of cutting and ...

The process – long dominated by industrial platforms – builds parts by spreading thin layers of metal powder and selectively ...

New hard facing materials and corrosion-resistant alloys broaden the market for laser cladding services. Laser cladding, a type of laser surface alloying, is a process that precisely applies a uniform ...

Laser surface engineering methods apply precise laser energy to metal surfaces to increase hardness and wear resistance. A recent study published in Metals found that combining laser surface ...

Load-adapted and lightweight components made from steel-aluminum mixed joints will be required for the automotive industry of the future. As part of the LaserLeichter project, Laser Zentrum Hannover, ...

Keeping work surfaces clean during meat processing is a challenge. Bacteria from meat can attach, grow, and build up to create a biofilm that is difficult to remove, even on stainless steel surfaces ...
