this new approach allows real-time shaping and control of laser beams for laser welding and 3D printing techniques like directed energy deposition. This breakthrough could lead to more efficient ...

A research team led by Chinese scientist “Crazy Li” has equipped small drones with the ability to emit powerful metal-cutting laser beams—a feat once thought impossible. The research ...

“This is particularly achievable by using commercial, off-the-shelf welding lasers combined with ... include overcoming issues related to laser beam strength and the cooling of the system ...

This was to be the first step toward more efficient days. At FABTECH in 2018, Maley saw a beam processing machine that stuck with him. He immediately realized the impact that such a machine could have ...

A squad of fully armed soldiers follow closely behind a Humvee armoured vehicle, cautiously advancing through the ruins of an urban battlefield. About a kilometre ahead of them in the sky, a small ...

Knowledge of a laser beam's shape and output-power distribution is critical for optimizing laser performance. Neil Savage summarizes the latest beam-profiling products on the market.

Laser welding is revolutionizing automotive manufacturing with its ability to deliver unmatched precision and speed. This method uses concentrated laser beams to create narrow, deep welds with minimal ...
