Laser cutters are certainly a Hackerspace staple for cutting fabrics in some circles. But for the few fabrics derived from non-woven plastics, why not try fusing them together? That’s exactly ...
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, ...
[Andrew] recently discovered that these devices can be readily repurposed into a laser welding tool with just a bit of work under the hood. He first came across the technology via videos from ...
But high electrical conductivity also means that copper has high thermal conductivity, which makes welding difficult. Any laser heat that is applied to a specific spot quickly transfers through to ...
Laser specifications include maximum laser output power and laser type. Most laser cutting and welding machines use carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers; neodymium-doped, yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) ...
