2. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

   Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporize materials, resulting in a cut edge. While typically used for industrial manufacturing applications, it is now used by schools, small businesses, architecture, and hobbyists. Laser cutting works by directing the output of a high-power laser most commonly through optics.

3. Laser - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser

   The word laser is an anacronym that originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. [1] [2] The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories, based on theoretical work by Charles H. Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow.

4. Laser beam machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_beam_machining

   Milling with a laser is a three dimensional process that requires two lasers, but drastically cuts costs of machining parts. Lasers can be used to change the surface properties of a workpiece. The appliance of laser beam machining varies depending on the industry. In light manufacturing the machine is used to engrave and to drill other metals.

5. Laser engraving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving

   Laser engraving machines Laser marking on stainless steel A laser engraving machine A laser engraver. A laser engraving machine consists of three main parts: a laser, a controller, and a surface. The laser is a drawing tool: the beam emitted from it allows the controller to trace patterns onto the surface.

6. List of laser types - Wikipedia

   An immense slab of "continuous melt" processed neodymium-doped laser glass for use on the National Ignition Facility. This is a list of laser types, their operational wavelengths, and their applications. Thousands of kinds of laser are known, but most of them are used only for specialized research.

7. Selective laser sintering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_laser_sintering

   An SLS machine being used at the Centro de Pesquisas Renato Archer in Brazil.. Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technique that uses a laser as the power and heat source to sinter powdered material (typically nylon or polyamide), aiming the laser automatically at points in space defined by a 3D model, binding the material together to create a solid structure.
