Polarization maintaining fiber beam delivery
for direct laser interference patterning
This paper introduces a pioneering method of delivering high-power picosecond laser pulses through microstructured optical fibers. This innovative approach enhances precision and flexibility in laser applications. Demonstrating its potential, the team successfully created interference patterns on stainless steel, paving the way for large-scale industrial applications in surface micromachining, robotics, and more.
Virtual Prototyping of a Novel Manipulator
for Efficient Laser Processing of Complex Large Parts
This study introduces a next-generation robotic manipulator designed for advanced 3D laser surface treatment of large industrial parts. Designed with a stiff and vibration damping mechanical architecture with direct drive motors, the system minimizes motion accuracy errors, enabling high-precision motion and greater responsiveness for complex manufacturing tasks.
Synthetic Data for AI-Powered Ultrafast
Laser Based Micro-structuring Method Description
This publication presents a combined approach using synthetic data and machine learning methods to predict femtosecond laser surface texturing outcomes on stainless steel 316L. Synthetic data were generated through LS-Plume® (LASEA) simulators to feed AI models, addressing the challenges of costly and time-consuming experimental data collection. Various regression models were evaluated, demonstrating that the synergy between simulation tools and AI can effectively accelerate the development of predictive models for laser micro-structuring.
