Making the laser process visible with synchrotron radiation

With synchrotron radiation, welding processes can be observed in detail like never before – live and in real-time! Researchers from the Fraunhofer ILT and the RWTH Aachen – Chair of Laser Technology are working at DESY to make steam bubbles, melting movements, and defects visible. Their findings optimize battery and microelectronics production and pave the way for new materials.

Ceramic 3D Printing for Europe

KYOCERA Fineceramics Europe GmbH now offers the production technology 'Ceramic Additive Manufacturing' in Europe. The process enables the production of complex geometries and almost any custom shapes. Additionally, prototypes can be created very quickly, allowing production to ramp up to thousands of pieces per week in a short time.
