F86: Handheld Laser Welding: Latest Developments and Future Outlook
In this presentation, we introduce a novel and evolving fabrication technique: Handheld Laser Welding. We will demonstrate its advantages over traditional welding methods such as MIG and TIG with examples of handheld laser welds on up to 3/8 inch thick stainless steel, as well as mild steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and nickel alloys. We will discuss pertinent topics such as handheld laser welding safety and standards as well as additional capabilities such as surface cleaning and passivation. Lastly, we will highlight current trends and future outlook for this technology.
