“Laser direct plating” creates functional layer directly on base component. Researchers at Fraunhofer IWS (IWS) have developed a new laser-based technology called Laser Direct Plating that produces ...
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) involves a laser ablation procedure, where a laser pulse interacts with a material surface to induce the formation of a plasma plume that expands away from the surface.
A project funded by Europe's M-ERA.NET research framework and including Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT) has employed OCT to monitor laser metal deposition. TopCladd, investigating ...
