Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) have devised a striking new addition to contact stamping technologies in the recently-completed ERDF research project "ScanCut". In ...

Fraunhofer IWS (Dresden) optimizes fusion cutting to improve cut quality in thick metal sheets. Demo at this week's EuroBLECH show. In recent years, fiber and disc lasers have achieved a leading ...

Smart factories are new factories. They use machines, computers, and programs to make snapshots faster and more accurately.

The laser beam is then combined with a high pressure supersonic oxygen gas jet, which provides the cutting energy. Thicker material has traditionally been cut with oxyfuel and more recently with ...

Everybody likes 3D printing, right? But it’s slow compared to 2D laser cutting. If only there were a way to combine multiple 2D slices into a 3D model. OK, we know that you’re already doing it by hand ...

MIT researchers found that chaotic laser light can transform into a precise, stable beam. This breakthrough enables much ...
