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
The system can now perform comprehensive documentation of its process data and capture the welding process in real time
The facility will produce aerospace-grade titanium alloy powder at approximately half the cost of the nearest competitor. (Image: Amaero)
The facility in Victoria, Australia, will serve the defence, aerospace and tooling sectors with its titanium
This software innovation largely reduces the need for support structures in additive manufacturing, and in some cases removes them completely, without increasing build time
The rotating filter is just 70μm wide and 60μm tall with square openings that measure 6.5μm on each side. Scale bar: 10μm. (Image: Dong Wu, University of Science and Technology of China)
The microfilter was developed using a very precise 3D printing technique known as two-photon polymerisation
The material delivers the strength, stiffness and ductility required for heavy-duty applications
The thermoIMAGER TIM series of short-wave thermal imaging cameras is suited for almost all near infrared (NIR) and CO2-based laser processing applications
Dynamic beam shaping can be applied to offer defect-free welding, cutting, drilling and additive manufacturing. (Image: Civan Lasers)
Dynamic beam shaping enables controllable beam shape, frequency, and focus steering to provide defect-free processing outcomes
