lasersænkning
Lasersænkning, or laser sinking, is a laser-based material-processing technique used to create depressions or grooves on a solid surface by localized heating, melting, and/or material removal with a focused laser beam. The resulting geometry is governed by the energy delivered, the dwell time, scan pattern, and the optical properties of the material.
Principle and process control: A laser concentrates energy onto a small spot. If the energy exceeds the
Materials and applications: Lasersænkning is used on metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites for decorative engravings, functional
Advantages and limitations: The technique is non-contact, highly repeatable, and capable of fine-feature creation without mechanical
Safety and regulation: As with other laser processes, appropriate eye and skin protection, fume control, and
