Additive manufacturing facilitates the fast and flexible manufacture of components
Additive manufacturing – sometimes referred to as AM, surfacing, 3D printing, and freeform manufacturing – is a method of many names. Additive manufacturing makes it possible to quickly and cost-effectively produce components whose properties (dimensions, geometry, weight, etc.) make them difficult or sometimes impossible to manufacture using other methods.
Lasers in industry improve product quality and production efficiency
How can selective hardening using lasers make products last longer? And how can production in the engineering industry be sped up by replacing traditional processing and manufacturing methods with laser methods? In this article, we explain how different laser processes can improve the quality of your products and make your production processes more efficient.
What’s happening in the laser industry in 2020?
There’s a lot going on in the world of lasers in terms of technology and prices, as well as markets and materials. Here we will take a closer look at some of the trends and phenomena that are worth keeping an eye on going forwards.
Connected laser processes for efficient production in Industry 4.0
In the transition to Industry 4.0, more and more processes and production chains are becoming interconnected. This is a technology that offers a number of advantages for those working with laser welding and additive manufacturing (AM).
TIG, MIG, and MAG versus laser welding
What differentiates TIG, MIG, and MAG? What do they have in common, and what are the biggest differences compared with laser welding? Some basic similarities and differences between TIG, MIG, and MAG. TIG, MIG, and MAG all involve welding using a short arc.
