CGI Automated Manufacturing, which is backed by CORE Industrial Partners, has acquired Advanced Laser Machining, a provider of metals-focused contract manufacturing solutions. No financial terms were ...

The thickness of the bipolar plate is decreasing as fuel cells used in vessels and aircraft become lighter and more efficient. In this context, a worldwide R&D project has created a laser machining ...

TurboCombustor Technology ordered its thirteenth Laserdyne 795, a 5-axis laser machining system designed to drill, cut, and weld medium-to-large 3D parts with a moving beam motion system. It’s built ...

As more customers seek one-stop shopping for their metal fabrications, more job shops are adding machining capabilities.

This year, we celebrate the 60th birthday of the laser. Its inventor, Theodore Maiman, once famously called it "a solution looking for problems," a judgment that has been soundly contradicted over the ...

High-throughput laser micro-machining demands precise control of the laser beam position to achieve optimal efficiency, but existing methods can be both time-consuming and cost-prohibitive. In this ...

A new hybrid process allows high-strength coating materials to be applied quickly and efficiently, with concurrent machining, to produce critical parts with extended service life quickly, and with ...

Laser printing of metals has proven itself as a viable manufacturing process. No longer just for "impossible to machine" or waifish parts where material characteristics were the design feature needed ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – An innovative technique for machining brittle ceramic materials by first softening them with heat from a laser may cut in half the cost of making components for a growing U.S.

When it comes to machining, the material that springs to mind is likely to be aluminum, steel, or plastic. We don’t necessarily think of glass as a material suitable for machining, at least not in the ...
