The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) has signed a new cooperation agreement with the industrial laser giant Trumpf that aims to accelerate the transfer of laser material deposition (LMD ...

With glass substrates and arc torch, “Collar” hybrid process unites metal shielding gas welding and laser material deposition. Collar Hybrid AM process relies on a combination of arc and laser ...

A new hybrid process allows high-strength coating materials to be applied quickly and efficiently, with concurrent machining, to produce critical parts with extended service life quickly, and with ...

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) involves a laser ablation procedure, where a laser pulse interacts with a material surface to induce the formation of a plasma plume that expands away from the surface.

The use of granular materials and fine powders are commonplace in industrial applications. These materials must be precisely characterized in order to properly control and optimize processing methods, ...

Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), an advanced synthesis technique capable of precise thin-film control, has become a versatile platform for optoelectronic materials engineering. This technology uses high ...

A group of researchers from Duke University in the U.S. has developed a new coating process for the creation of hybrid thin film materials. The researchers say their process allows for the creation of ...
