Device makers are taking increased interest in product designs and assembly that support closed-loop recycling. A Branson plastic welding process can safely and nondestructively “unweld” plastics used ...

Interventional neurology surgery is a major frontier when it comes to medical device miniaturization, and laser welding has an important role to play. Kevin Hartke, Resonetics For over 20 years, laser ...

Technological Edge: Engineering the Future of Precision and Speed The competitive edge of HGTECH in the BIW sector is not merely defined by the presence of a laser source, but by the systemic ...

Synergy Additive Manufacturing LLC specializes in high-power, laser-based solutions for complex manufacturing related to wear, corrosion, and tool life. Laser cladding and laser welding are different ...

Industrial lasers are used to process engineering plastics across many markets. Some examples of the common processes are shown in Figure 1, including laser marking, cutting, and welding.

Medical devices use a variety of metal components that are often welded to form a secure and permanent bond. Options available for welding processes are limited because of certain constraints such as ...

Laser welding services use high-powered laser welding equipment to fuse materials together. Laser beams provide a very narrow, concentrated energy source that melts a narrow region, resulting in a ...

The NREL report assesses the potential of replacing plastic polymer connectors with glass-to-glass laser welding. Image: NREL The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory ...

Laser welding has emerged as a versatile joining technology for a broad spectrum of metallic materials, combining high precision with minimal heat‐affected zones. Two principal modes are recognised: ...

On its surface, the work is deceptively simple: Shoot a high-power laser beam onto a piece of metal for a fraction of a second and see what happens. But researchers say the physics of laser welding is ...

After completing the first section of my brother’s custom steel handrail, it was time to fabricate the remaining sections and ...
