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
ES Precision will soon provide a service for profiling, drilling and perforating thin gauge materials up to about 2mm thick.

The new methods being developed will make it possible to move between 3D beam shapes with zero down-time (Image: Heriot-Watt University)
The research will making it possible to move between 3D beam shapes with zero down-time, low cost and minimal technical know-how
The processing machine integrates Scanlab’s five-axis precSYS microprocessing system with a femtosecond laser and optical measurement for automatic correction of drilling results
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
Ultrashort laser pulses can be used to store information in little voxels in quartz silica glass. (Image: Microsoft)
The technology has the potential to preserve data inside glass for millions of years without decaying
Coherent's picosecond laser system provides a turnkey solution for permanent, high contrast, contamination-free sub-surface UDI marking of stainless steel devices.
Coherent's new solution for 3D marking meets the increased need to mark non-flat surfaces, such as curved, inclined, recessed, and stepped surfaces as well as free-form objects.
The new laser is ideal for structuring and ablating thin films in displays and photovoltaics, trimming of micro-resistors and capacitors, and high-contrast marking of medical devices, plastics and glass.
The Catalyst system enables fast and easy production of highly durable, synthetic labels for a wide range of rough-service applications
