Spanning a wall in a separate area is a large automatic storage and retrieval system that feeds multiple lasers and stores ...

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 ...

A new hybrid process allows high-strength coating materials to be applied quickly and efficiently, with concurrent machining, to produce critical parts with extended service life quickly, and with ...

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 ...

Laser-based manufacturing and materials processing technology has proven to be a well-established and cutting-edge technology ...

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 ...
