Keely Portway looks at how new laser technologies are optimising welding and cutting for shipbuilding
A Dynamic Beam Laser from Civan Lasers has been installed at Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden. The institute is thus the first research institution worldwide to utilize such a laser solution. (Image: Fraunhofer IWS)
The institute expects the technology to overcome the challenges of using crack-sensitive materials in additive manufacturing
This webinar will present some of the current challenges in laser welding and how beam shaping and steering can be used to overcome these challenges
