2. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

   For sheet metal cutting, the focal length is usually 1.5–3 inches (38–76 mm). [7] [8] Advantages of laser cutting over mechanical cutting include easier work holding and reduced contamination of workpiece (since there is no cutting edge which can become contaminated by the material or contaminate the material). Precision may be better since ...

3. Laser beam machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_beam_machining

   where t is the depth of cut, P is the laser beam power, v is the cutting velocity, and d is the laser beam spot diameter. [5] The depth of the cut is also influenced by the workpiece material. The material's reflectivity, density, specific heat, and melting point temperature all contribute to the lasers ability to cut the workpiece.

4. Laser metal deposition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Metal_Deposition

   Laser metal deposition (LMD) is an additive manufacturing process in which a feedstock material (typically a powder) is melted with a laser and then deposited onto a substrate. [1] A variety of pure metals and alloys can be used as the feedstock, as well as composite materials such as metal matrix composites .

5. Selective laser melting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_laser_melting

   Selective laser melting (SLM) is one of many proprietary names [1] for a metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology that uses a bed of powder with a source of heat to create metal parts. Also known as direct metal laser sintering ( DMLS ), the ASTM standard term is powder bed fusion ( PBF ).

6. Laser drilling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_drilling

   Laser drilling is the process of creating thru-holes, referred to as “popped” holes or “percussion drilled” holes, by repeatedly pulsing focused laser energy on a material. The diameter of these holes can be as small as 0.002” (~50 μm).

7. Multiaxis machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiaxis_machining

   Multiaxis machining is a manufacturing process that involves tools that move in 4 or more directions and are used to manufacture parts out of metal or other materials by milling away excess material, by water jet cutting or by laser cutting. This type of machining was originally performed mechanically on large complex machines.
