Who doesn't love a humongous laser? Here at ExtremeTech, we're fans of both 1) technology and 2) extremes, and lasers are toward the far end of both spectra. So, do you have a minute? In the spirit of ...

Years ago, programmers would fine-tune a static nest layout for laser cutting to ensure the fastest cutting, best process ...

Ferda Canbaz demonstrates the depth of cuts that can be achieved with lasers when the energy profile of the laser beam is adjusted. Lasers cut precisely and without contact – ideal for surgery. The ...

While many of us now have laser cutters — either a K40-style machine or one of the newer high-output diodes — you probably don’t have one that cuts metal. True, some hobby lasers now offer IR laser ...

Researchers in Germany have revealed that laser technology is entering a new era in which multi-kilowatt power lasers could significantly reshape manufacturing, as well as infrastructure and energy ...

This article explores how laser cutting and mechanical punching perform when used in electrode manufacturing and other foil-based applications in terms of speed, edge quality, material compatibility ...

There are many different types of lasers—almost as many as there are applications for the same—but what ties them all together as a class is that they depend on the same physical effect: stimulated ...
