A consortium of European researchers and companies has developed an integrated software solution as part of a Horizon 2020 project that it says will optimise additive manufacturing
Fraunhofer ILT will hold its 5th UKP-Workshop: Ultrafast Laser Technology in Aachen from April 10 to 11, 2019
Matthew Dale explores some of the latest technology for manipulating and measuring the beam, including a multi-spot optical module for laser brazing and a contactless beam analysis device
The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT will present five developments in sheet metal processing at this year’s show
Fraunhofer ILT is developing two new optical modules that will increase the speed of laser polishing, coating and surface structuring applications by a factor of 10 while reducing their cost by half
Experts in laser polishing now have the opportunity to exchange research results in a wider and international context at the Conference on Laser Polishing – LaP, which is held every two years
The developers of Extreme High-Speed Laser Material Deposition (EHLA), a process that can be used to coat, repair or additively manufacture components in an economical and environmentally friendly way, have been awarded first prize of the tenth Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis
Professor Johannes Henrich Schleifenbaum has been appointed managing partner of ACAM Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing
Fraunhofer has launched a new cluster of excellence across 12 of its institutes that over the next four years will develop a generation of ultrafast lasers with average powers ranging up to 20kW
After the international laser technology congress AKL, in Aachen in May, Matthew Dale learned that dramatic increases in power are on the horizon for ultrafast lasers
