The e-drive unit measures 590 x 560 x 367mm and was built in 21 hours using SLM Solution's NXG XII 600
The material was ‘printed’ into joint lanes, which is the first step towards 3D-printing buildings, landing points, and roads on the moon
The collaboration will see II-VI's remote laser processing heads combined with Coherent’s Adjustable Ring Mode fibre laser technology.
The patents cover material processing with visible Raman lasers, in addition to the technology required to build these single mode visible lasers
Chao Wei and Lin Li discuss how different material properties could be integrated into single parts using additive manufacturing
The superalloys hold promise for producing complex one-off components for high-stress, high-performance environments, such as aircraft engines
New containers made from light metals and fibre composite plastics will replace the heavy steel superstructures of classic waste trucks
The systems leverage the latest high-power, high-repetition rate laser technology and new beam control capabilities
The carbon nanofibres are a by-product of associated petroleum gas processing, which has serious environmental significance
