The Institut für Strahlwerkzeuge (IFSW) at the University of Stuttgart will study dynamic beam laser welding keyhole fluid dynamics with high-speed X-ray video imaging.

Collaboration between Civan Lasers and TU Wien yields insights on laser welding of stainless- steel tubes with a gap; future work will target welding and additive manufacturing challenges.

Civan’s OPA 6 Weld, an entirely new class of laser that modulates beam shape at MHz rates without any moving parts, has received the 2022 Prism Award for Industrial Lasers.

Controlling a dynamic beam laser with galvo scanner enables on-the-fly beam shape orientation changes, delivering new welding and laser powder bed fusion capabilities.
