Dynamic beam shaping: The next step in laser materials processing
Bosch Research is working with Civan Lasers dynamic beam lasers (DBLs) to explore the potential of beam shaping in laser materials processing. The DBLs use coherent-beam-combining technology to produce a wide range of beam shapes, allowing for increased control of the welding process. Bosch sees this technology as a next step in laser material processing, offering new possibilities for process optimization and the creation of new applications. The company envisions using the DBLs in the field of e-mobility, particularly in the production of parts for battery, electric drives, and fuel cells. The technology has the potential to improve the quality and speed of processes, leading to better products at lower prices for customers.

Dynamic Beam Lasers Reshape Materials Processing Applications
Civan Lasers is developing dynamic beam-shaping technology to enhance the precision and flexibility of lasers used in macromachining, high-kilowatt welding, and cutting applications. This technology is particularly relevant to the automotive industry, which is increasingly replacing traditional mechanical machining and thermal welding systems with laser processing tools. Dynamic beam-shaping technology enables fiber laser sources to deliver up to 100 kW of power with a level of control that multimode lasers lack. This technology is expected to be a game-changer in materials processing.

E-Mobility Manufacturing Powers Opportunities for Laser Welding
The increasing use of copper and aluminum in electric vehicles (EVs) has created opportunities for laser welding, particularly in the manufacturing of battery packs. Companies such as Laserline, Coherent, Civan Lasers, NUBURU, and IPG Photonics are developing laser technologies to overcome challenges related to welding these metals. Laserline has launched a blue laser for welding copper and other metals, while Coherent has developed an adjustable ring mode fiber laser for better weld preparation. Civan Lasers has introduced a beam control solution based on coherent beam combining and optical phased array technology. The company has also formed partnerships with Bosch and BBW Lasertechnik to further develop its laser technology for e-mobility applications.
