‘Laser Sintering’

A Manufacturingtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro-Epsilon to display sensors at Mtec 2010 from Micro-Epsilon, which we summarised at the time by saying "This year's Mtec 2010 exhibition will feature a range of displacement measurement and non-contact temperature-measurement sensors from Micro-Epsilon. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release ESAB offers plasma-arc consumables range from ESAB Cutting Systems: "ESAB Cutting Systems is offering customers a range of plasma-arc consumables including spare and wear parts.".
 
In March 2010, we covered the news from Precision Micro - take a look at Process for thin metal-encoder discs and strips which says: "Precision Micro has developed LEEF (Laser Evolved Electroforming), a manufacturing process that can produce any volume of intricate and fine-featured metal-encoder discs and strips.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Blum Novotest, Blum Novotest shows tool-setting system at Mach, as well as Multi-axis VEC improves machining accuracies from MAG Industrial Automation Systems, and Fibre laser marking solution suits large runs from Technifor.
