The FemtoBlade laser employs a modular design that provides increased flexibility and high power at high repetition rates which will enable faster processing and improved throughput for micromachining applications
Handheld laser welding offers: low running costs; minimal set up requirements; ease of use; highly efficient, fast and flexible processing in spatially challenging environments; minimal consumables and post-processing requirements; and most importantly, high-quality welds of both similar and dissimilar materials of different types and thicknesses.
The LightWELD XR system delivers laser welding and cleaning in one handheld system
The new system brings all the benefits of fibre laser welding to manufacturers of medical devices, electronic components, watches and other high-precision products
The new Jenoptik-Votan A+ system
The Jenoptik-Votan A+ has a modular design and can be configured and easily expanded using predefined design packages
The production scale-up version of Velo3D’s end-to-end solution was shipped to a key aerospace customer to improve its AM capabilities
Both systems feature a simplified powder handling system, which is suited to manufacturers who must regularly swap build materials during production, pre-production, R&D, or bureau environments

This new lineup has optimised laser output powers and spot diameters, helping users select the ideal laser-heating system for applications such as laser soldering, plastic welding, and adhesive thermal curing
DLightS provides continuous energy output up to 1,800W/mm2, achieving ＞95% beam uniformity and ＞98% output power stability.
This system combines eutectic bonding technology, thermal management and thermal stress control technology for photon generation, beam transformation and beam homogenisation technology for photon control
Built for high-precision throughput, the LFT-500 Series is outfitted with three wavelength options, including 1,064nm, 532nm and 355nm
The machine ensures users no longer need to count on contract manufacturing partners and mysterious lead times if they need laser cutting done
