Laser material processing uses high-intensity light beams in material fabrication. This can include cutting, engraving, drilling or welding metals. It can also include cleaning materials with lasers.

Lasers are now an integral part of modern society, providing extraordinary opportunities for innovation in an ever-widening range of material processing and manufacturing applications. The study of ...

The great precision of excimer lasers results from the fact that the resolution achievable in laser materials processing is inversely related to the laser wavelength — the shorter the emission ...

Led by Lianyi Chen, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at UW–Madison, the team discovered the mechanisms and identified the processing ... adoption of laser powder bed fusion.
