Laser-Based Meso/Micro Rapid Manufacturing System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The meso/micro layered manufacturing technologies have significant implications for the design and fabrication of complex miniature structures. A laser-based additive/subtractive Rapid Manufacturing system is thus developed to build meso/micro structures. By incorporating laser microdeposition and micromachining with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser that has four harmonic wavelengths, this manufacturing system takes computer-aided design (CAD) output to reproduce meso/micro components in a wide selection of materials. To precisely deposit micro/nano powders and to control composition in-situ, an ultrasonic-based micro powder-feeding mechanism is developed. This additive/subtractive micro/meso manufacturing technology provides a platform for a solid integration from CAD to the realization of complex 3D miniature parts.

متن کاملPulsed Laser Assisted Micromilling for Die/Mold Manufacturing
Laser assisted machining is an alternative to conventional machining of hard and/or difficult-to-process materials which involves pre-heating of a focused area with a laser beam over the surface of the workpiece to cause localized thermal softening along the path of the cutting action. The main advantage that laser assisted machining has over conventional machining is the increased material rem...

متن کاملSurface Micro-Structuring of Silica Glass by Laser-Induced Backside Wet Etching with ns-Pulsed UV Laser at a High Repetition Rate
Surface micro-structuring of silica glass plates was performed by using laser-induced backside wet etching (LIBWE) upon irradiation with a single-mode laser beam from a diode-pumped solidstate UV laser at 266 nm. We have succeeded in a well-defined micro-pattern formation without debris and microcrack formations around the etched area on the basis of galvanometer-based point scanning system wit...
