How can high-speed production lines achieve airtight seals in medical devices without the use of messy consumables or adhesives? As the global manufacturing landscape shifts toward Industry 4.0, these ...

Today, nearly all precision laser cutting of metals and non-metals is performed with tools equipped with either fiber lasers or ultrashort pulse (USP) lasers, or sometimes both. In this article, we ...

What makes a good construction material? There are many requirements, but one is the ability to efficiently connect different parts. Steel is almost the perfect example: you can join steel with ...

When we see a CO 2 laser cutter build around these parts, chances are pretty good that the focus will be on the mechatronics end, and that the actual laser will be purchased. So when we see a laser ...

Offers an introduction to the fundamentals of laser welding including characteristics, welding defects and evolution of laser welding discusses developments in several techniques including disk, ...

Laser–arc hybrid welding (LAHW) combines the deep penetration and speed of lasers with the filler and gap-bridging capabilities of arc welding, producing stronger, faster, and cleaner welds. This ...

[Lucas] over at Cranktown City on YouTube has been very busy lately, but despite current appearances, his latest project is not a welder. Rather, he built a very clever gas mixer for filling his ...
