xTool’s new M2 can handle a variety of projects and uses two cameras to auto-adjust settings for different materials.

During femtosecond laser fabrication, photons are mainly absorbed by electrons, and the subsequent energy transfer from electrons to ions is of picosecond order. Hence, lattice motion is negligible ...

Scientists have developed a solar desalination system that turns seawater into drinking water without creating environmentally damaging brine. Special laser-textured metal panels use sunlight to ...

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.

Machine Design distills the cutting-edge landscape of advanced manufacturing through the eyes of multidisciplinary engineers, covering technical insights on the foundational and emerging principles of ...
