On the 27th, the IEEE 27th Global Robotics and Human Interaction Technology Summit was held in Nanjing. Nanjing Modi Multidimensional Digital Technology Co., Ltd. demonstrated a new technology that can use the laser equipment platform to process diamonds, sapphire jewelry and cars in an "order-based" design. Car touch screen, mobile phone 3D cover and so on.
In the past, sapphire was expensive, in addition to its own scarcity, it was also related to various factors such as difficult processing of sapphire raw materials, low processing efficiency, yield yield, and “design-manufacture-sales” intermediate links. The hardness of sapphire is 7 to 14 times that of glass, which makes it difficult to process. Once the non-contact processing of the laser is used, there is no “hard” challenge in sapphire processing.
In the future, consumers can send their favorite green laser pointer styles, shapes and patterns to manufacturers, and the laser equipment operating platform will directly place orders, which omits many aspects such as front-end design and back-end sales.
According to reports, the accumulation, sapphire design, processing, sales costs can be directly reduced to three to 40%. Hong Juehui, president of Nanjing Modi Multidimensional Digital Technology Co., Ltd., said that there are many new applications for advanced laser cutting. For example, in the automotive industry, the integration of visual, voice, and tactile control in a vehicle-mounted touch screen has become an inevitable trend. Laser manufacturing can process three-dimensional glass and perform flexible bonding.
It is reported that a small and medium-sized enterprise team and academic partners from Germany are working on the development of high-pulse energy mid-infrared lasers in order to be applied to many commercial applications in the future.
Led by technical experts from the Ferdinand Braun Institute (FBH) and the University of Jena, Germany, seven partners participating in the “HECMIR” project will hold a seminar in October to discuss the future development of the project.
The €1.5 million three-year project began in April and was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and coordinated by the Berlin-Brandenburg Optical Technology Capabilities Network (OpTecBB).
The goal of the project is to develop the world's first pulsed Joule-class laser source for the mid-infrared spectral range. In addition, further applications of the mid-infrared emission laser project may include material processing in the field of semiconductor devices and solar cell manufacturing, applications in the field of defense, and even X-ray sources in scientific research or laser-driven particle acceleration.
