Additive Manufacturing: The Laser Source Is Critical
Laser beam power, spot size and focal point must be measured and controlled to produce parts to specification through 3-D printing. Laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) involves the deposition of a precise amount of material in a layer- by-layer process to produce components of specific measurements and physical properties. Instead of milling a workpiece from a solid block, AM builds up components layer by layer using materials that are available in a powder form. A wide variety of
