Abstract: Four laser scanning schemes for tube bending, including point-source circumferential scanning, pulsed line-source axial procession, and line-source axial scanning without and with water cooling are ...

Abstract: High-intensity laser beams can be used to heat and bend metal plates, but the mechanisms of the laser forming (LF) process are not well understood or precisely controllable. The objective of ...

Abstract: Laser forming (LF) is a non-traditional forming process that does not require hard tooling or external forces and, hence, may dramatically increase process flexibility and reduce the cost of ...
