Laser processing helps in laser welding, laser cutting, surface modification, laser drilling, and micro-processing. It utilizes projected beams that can be moving, fixed, or hybrid for engraving, etching, micro processing, and material processing. It is a non-contact processing technique that provides the manufacturer with high-quality, smooth and dimensionally accurate cuts. It also improves the damage resistance of materials and offers composites with no microcracks, which make it more popular than its traditional processing techniques. Nowadays, laser processing technology is widely used in automotive, aerospace and defense, architecture, packaging, and telecommunication industries for punching, cutting, scribing, welding, and heat treatments.
The global laser processing market is primarily driven by various advantages of laser process over conventional material processing technologies. Laser processing provides a permanent, faster, and accurate way of marking and engraving while offering high efficiency, superior beam quality and reliability. Besides this, the rising trend of miniaturization of products and microelectronic devices is fueling the market growth. Furthermore, there has been growing adoption of laser processing technology in the manufacturing of medical devices such as pacemakers, implantable devices and surgical tools. Moreover, technological advancements have also enhanced the edge quality and cutting speed of laser processing. For instance, the development of a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (SLM) by Hamamatsu Photonics with the highest pulsed laser power capabilities of up to 400 GW/cm2 is helping users to achieve high-throughput and high-precision laser processing. Furthermore, the utilization of expensive laser-drilling techniques in oil and gas exploration, which reduce the cost of drilling and improve the feasibility of uneconomic oil deposits across the globe, is further expected to drive the market growth.
