Ultra-High Brightness Direct Diodes for Material Processing
By Silke Pflueger Invented two short years after the ruby laser in 1962, diode lasers are now taken for granted in many areas of our lives. You use them each time you pick up the phone, use a DVD or Blu-ray Disc, print or are at the grocery store checkout. All in all diode lasers […]
Novel Multi-Beam Processing System for Laser Additive Manufacturing
By Rahul Patwa, Hans Herfurth and Jyoti Mazumder Additive manufacturing (AM) processes (also commonly referred to as 3D printing) allows the layer-by-layer build-up of parts rather than through molding or subtractive techniques such as machining. The idea that AM machines can print 3D objects much the same way that inkjet printer creates 2D images on […]
