Laser-based processes for metals are considered to be particularly versatile in industry. Lasers can be used, for example, to ...

That has changed, thanks to a team of researchers that is developing a ceramic welding laser. Welding is a really special process. At one level, it is very simple: heat two materials until they ...

LaserPipe addresses this problem by combining a robotic snake based on OC Robotics' Series II X125 arm with a laser-welding head powered through a fiberoptic cable by a remote laser generator.

LaserStacker automates the whole procedure for you. They’ve tweaked their laser cutter settings to allow not just cutting but also welding of acrylic. This lets them build up 3D objects out of ...

director of the five-university EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Laser-based Production Processes based at Heriot-Watt, said: "Traditionally it has been very difficult to weld together ...

Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology have developed a method to laser-weld transparent plastic components together, a task previously thought impossible. What ...
