Solukon has joined forces with Siemens to develop a system for de-powdering complex laser melted metal parts

Scientists have developed a cost-efficient and scalable method of rapidly fabricating textiles embedded with energy storage devices using lasers

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have successfully welded ceramics together using an ultrafast laser, a process that usually requires the extreme temperatures of a furnace to achieve.

Samsung Display has developed a laser-etched hole that will be located near the top front of the flexible OLED displays of the Galaxy Note10

Automotive supplier Brose will collaborate with IPG Photonics to develop the first direct weld measurement technology for the manufacturie of automotive seat rails

Ekspla and Light Conversion have developed an ultrafast laser system that they say could potentially be used to accelerate the radioactive decay of nuclear waste from tens of thousands of years to months, hours or even seconds

A 15-month project has been launched that will combine laser processing technology with robotics to enable the manufacture of large-scale, high-end aerospace parts

The firm will use XRD to perform in-house measurements of compressive residual stress in metals, enabling it to develop laser peening prescriptions for customer needs more quickly and accurately

The new technique resulted in the reduction of effective residual stress in metal 3D-printed test parts by 90 per cent
