Laser Processing; Offers Various Advantages Compared To Conventional Techniques

Laser processing involves the use of laser beam projection on the surface of the material that is produced by thermal effect to complete the processing, including micro-processing, surface modification, laser drilling, laser marking, laser cutting, and laser welding. Laser Processing is widely used for marking/engraving electronic components, consumer goods, and certain parts used in en-use industries. Moreover, laser processing offers various advantages compared to conventional techniques such as water jet, flame, and plasma technology.

Laser processing involves the use of high-energy laser beams for various coating materials with the purpose of adding a layer of color or other optical features. This method involves repetitive cycles of application followed by cooling down of the coated material to room temperature and then applying the coating. This is a very important for the accurate and effective finishing of parts as well as for use in many other areas such as aerospace, marine, electronics, and medical industries. It helps decrease the time taken for the same task by several orders of magnitude, making it ideal for a variety of applications in many industries.

Laser processing convert patterns laid out on a flat surface by using a computer program into a pattern that can be applied directly to the surface without any need for human intervention. There are generally three types of surface treatments that can be achieved with laser processing. Laser cutting is a manufacturing process which can eliminate the need for machining on many engineering jobs, enabling you to save money on manufacturing costs.

Moreover, laser drilling offers numerous advantages, such as reduction of operation costs, high penetration rates, and control advantages over other drilling techniques.

Laser processing is widely used in many sectors of the Singapore manufacturing industry, and government-funded research institutes work with local industry to develop and validate laser-processing methodology. Lasers are employed in the manufacturing industry as tools capable of providing intense cutting or welding power with high precision. Their ability makes them ideal for various end-use industries, such as automobile.
