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 ...

As with traditional welding techniques, materials are melted in the weld zone, although laser-based techniques use quicker heating and cooling cycles (Figure 1). These rapid thermal cycles are a ...

Synergy Additive Manufacturing LLC specializes in high-power, laser-based solutions for complex manufacturing related to wear, corrosion, and tool life. Laser cladding and laser welding are different ...

Hot-plate welding and STTIr laser welding are both used in joining plastic parts. The authors break down the differences and the practical outcomes. The Branson GLX-3 Laser Welder from Emerson uses ...

The devices and tools used in medicine are becoming smaller. They have greater functionality and are expected to last longer than earlier devices. Design, manufacturing, and packaging the devices and ...

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 ...

Welding pipes in cramped, potentially dangerous areas is an expensive and time-consuming exercise. OC Robotics and TWI Ltd have been working on a potential solution in the form of an articulated ...
