Lasers are increasingly finding applications for industrial materials processing including welding, cutting, drilling, marking, hardening, texturing, trimming, soldering, and rapid prototyping. Over the last two decades, a wide variety of laser technologies have matured and commercialized providing the engineer with a bewildering array of choices. This two-day course is designed for engineers to get a broad understanding of laser technology and includes classroom instruction and lab demonstrations. The classroom segment includes an introduction to the basics of light and some of its unique properties followed by a discussion on how laser light is created and transported to the workplace. We then study the interaction of lasers with a variety of materials to understand the fundamentals of lasers and welding and micro-machining. The classroom session will be combined with lab demonstrations of laser welding, cutting, and marking.
