By Tom Erlic (Business Development, Polaris Motion) Imagine if you could shorten the production cycle for complex parts in industries like aerospace and advanced manufacturing. Further imagine that instead of producing them locally, you could send CAD files from a central office to remote production facilities in any global location. Take those two steps … Continue reading
The two broad classes of lasers are Continuous Wave (CW) and pulsed. CW lasers are typically lower cost and have the advantage of high average power. Pulsed lasers have lower average power, but the short pulse photon energy breaks the material’s chemical bonds instead of burning. Lasers are used for material altering processes such as annealing and quenching … Continue reading
