Advanced Manufacturing (Old)
The Advanced Manufacturing application category includes laser systems used for established engineering and manufacturing processes. These laser systems are used for the production of components, goods and systems for numerous applications. The laser manufactured products are utilised in many industries, including aviation, automotive, consumer goods, medical and mining.New advances in laser lenses advance techniques such as at Irepa Laser systems, http://www.irepa-laser.com/index.php?page=home-page for more cladding ideas.

Lasers have been used for metal welding for a number of years. They are capable of most weld geometry types and have many advantages over conventional welding techniques. More recent applications for ...
-
Lasers can cut and drill most engineering materials from metals to ceramics, plastics and organics. As the materials react differently to different types of lasers (eg. YAG, Diode, CO2), it is...
-
Laser systems can be used for the Surface Engineering processes such as cladding and heat treatment. For cladding, the laser is used to fuse a deposited material onto the surface of a base material....
-
Permanent marking of plastics, metals and ceramics is performed using laser systems. The laser is either passed through a mask or is steered via a galvonometer onto the material to etch a mark into...
