Melting (laser light)
Melting with laser light is an advanced material processing method that is used in various industrial sectors. This process uses the intense energy of a laser beam to heat up material in a targeted manner and cause it to melt.
During melting with laser light, the laser beam is focused on the surface to be processed. The energy of the laser causes the material to heat up quickly until it reaches the melting point. The melting process can be controlled very precisely, as the intensity and duration of the laser beam can be precisely regulated.
Melting with laser light offers several advantages, including high precision, minimal heat impact on adjacent material, fast processing speeds and the ability to create complex shapes and fine details. This process is used in various applications, from laser material processing and welding to the production of customized workpieces in the manufacturing industry. It enables the processing of various materials, including metals, plastics and ceramics, and contributes to the ongoing development of precision manufacturing technologies.
