Non-contact laser welding offers several advantages when it comes to joining one plastic part to another. It works on the principle of partial transmission which lets a laser’s light travel through ...

Regular carbon steel welding is dominated by the standard ER70S wire. Since it’s the primary option, filler metal selection ...

Device makers are taking increased interest in product designs and assembly that support closed-loop recycling. A Branson plastic welding process can safely and nondestructively “unweld” plastics used ...

Laser Welding is apparently the new hotness, in part because these sci-fi rayguns masquerading as tools are really cool. They cut! They weld! They Julienne Fry! Well, maybe not that last one. In ...

In particular, new thermoplastic composites have been developed through the integration of microwaves and laser welding. It has been demonstrated that microwaves can be used to optimize the curing ...

The NREL report assesses the potential of replacing plastic polymer connectors with glass-to-glass laser welding. Image: NREL The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory ...

Steelmaker Corus is commissioning a new research and development facility to study the next generation of automotive laser welding and brazing techniques. The new facility will be based at the company ...

In-space manufacturing is a big challenge, even with many of the same manufacturing methods being available as on the ground. These methods include rivets, bolts, but also welding, the latter of which ...

Traditional welding requires months of training and thousands in equipment, but the xTool MetalFab promises pro results from your first power-up. This modular system raised $1.7 million on Kickstarter ...

Medical devices use a variety of metal components that are often welded to form a secure and permanent bond. Options available for welding processes are limited because of certain constraints such as ...
