Beambased
Beambased is an adjective used in technical contexts to describe systems, methods, or processes that rely on a defined beam—such as a light beam, particle beam, or acoustic beam—as the primary agent of action. The term is most commonly encountered as beam-based in literature, but some writers use the concatenated form beambased.
In optics and photonics, beambased approaches include laser-beam shaping, beam steering, and beam-based sensing where measurements
In accelerator science and materials analysis, beam-based techniques use the particle beam itself for diagnostics and
In manufacturing and medicine, beam-based processes encompass laser-based manufacturing such as cutting, welding, and additive manufacturing,
Advantages of beambased methods include high precision, non-contact processing, and the ability to affect materials or
