2. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

   Laser cutting. Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a cut edge. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is now used by schools, small businesses, architecture, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics.

3. Laser beam machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_beam_machining

   Milling with a laser is a three dimensional process that requires two lasers, but drastically cuts costs of machining parts. [2] [7] Lasers can be used to change the surface properties of a workpiece. The appliance of laser beam machining varies depending on the industry. In light manufacturing the machine is used to engrave and to drill other ...

4. Laser engraving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving

   Laser marked electronic part. Laser engraving is the practice of using lasers to engrave an object. The engraving process renders a design by physically cutting into the object to remove material. The technique does not involve the use of inks or tool bits that contact the engraving surface and wear out, giving it an advantage over alternative ...

5. Laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser

   The word laser is an anacronym that originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. [1][2] The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories, based on theoretical work by Charles H. Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow.

6. 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 .

7. Fiber laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_laser

   Fiber laser. A fiber laser (or fibre laser in Commonwealth English) is a laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, thulium and holmium. They are related to doped fiber amplifiers, which provide light amplification without lasing.

8. Carbon-dioxide laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-dioxide_laser

   The carbon-dioxide laser (CO2 laser) was one of the earliest gas lasers to be developed. It was invented by Kumar Patel of Bell Labs in 1964 [1] and is still one of the most useful types of laser. Carbon-dioxide lasers are the highest-power continuous-wave lasers that are currently available. They are also quite efficient: the ratio of output ...

9. Laser cutting bridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting_bridge

   The combination "laser plus embroidery machine" offered by the laser bridge also avoids double work: no longer is it necessary to cut by hand after embroidering appliqués. [6] The process also guarantees more accurate results, because the laser works on the same frame where the embroidery machine works avoiding positioning errors.
