The Laser Institute of America Comes to the DC/Baltimore Metro Area
Are you new to laser applications and looking to gain insight that can’t be gained in a book or technical manual? Or are you a “laser jock” who can share years of experience using lasers in applications from micro-machining to chemical analysis? In either case, you’ll want to join the Laser Institute of America’s newly […]
Components Made From Copper Powder Open Up New Opportunities
Up to now it was not possible to use Selective Laser Melting (SLM) on copper alloys. Now, however, research scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT have solved the technical problems that prevented this by enhancing the technique. The new method opens up new possibilities, for instance in plastics processing.
