Laser transmission welding can be used to join endless fibre reinforced thermoplastics. The welding temperature is affected by the heat conduction along carbon fibres and depends on the local orientation of the fibres in ...

High-resolution laser patterning offers innovative methods for the manufacturing of three dimensional interconnect devices. The process chain presented in this paper uses cost efficient metal thin-films sputtered on ...

For the implementation of carbon fiber reinforced (CFRP) parts, these need to be assembled to more complex structures. Therefore, laser transmission welding was transferred to heat conduction welding for joining thermoplastic ...
